Exhibition continues from 25/04/2026 to 30/05/2026.

Void Art Centre are excited to announce our upcoming project, Re-turning, which launches on Saturday 25 April 2026, from 6-8pm. This multifaceted project will consist of contributions from PhD student Ashab Arif Ahmad and research and output from previous and ongoing projects such as contributions from artists Daniel Godínez Nivon, Stéphane V Bottéro, Joey O’Gorman, and Barbara Steveni; researchers Matthew McAlister-Colacio, Oliver Hopkinson and Oileán Galligan, Roy Nelson and Kathryn Nelson; and our series of reading groups on institutional practice ‘Closing Circles’.

Led by artist, researcher and designer Rachel Fitzpatrick, this exhibition features a new site‑specific installation co‑created with Brain Injury Matters NI.

Audiences can expect an immersive installation made from intricate paper crafts, exploring journeys of rehabilitation, reconnection and identity, and revealing often‑unseen narratives of life after acquired brain injury through collaborative making and storytelling.

A solo exhibition by Lisa Ballard.

This exhibition, by Donaghadee based visual artist Lisa Ballard, is an exploration into the processes used in her landscape painting, processes that serve to represent the blurred memories we have of places and allows the creation of a new imagined landscape. These landscape paintings will look beyond the physical to draw on emotional experience and memory of place, pushing towards abstraction.

Travelling has been vital in Lisa’s personal exploration of painting as a medium. This exhibition will feature a selection of new work inspired by past locations she has visited, both near and far.

Tatyana Feeney is a Meath based author/illustrator. She is originally from the US but has made Ireland her home for more than twenty years.
Tatyana grew up in North Carolina, in a rural area, surrounded by woods. Her home in Ireland has fewer trees, but Tatyana has brought the trees of her imagination and childhood into her artwork.
She is the author/illustrator of many picture books for children.
The art displayed here is from her recent book: Crann na nGuíonna, an Irish language story which has been printed with fluorescent inks.
As someone who moved to Ireland from elsewhere, Tatyana was fascinated by the idea of wishing trees.

What links our creative consciousness? What feeds our collective output? Away from modern life and the onslaught of global information, our minds draw inspiration from the spaces around us as well as the spaces within. As Illustrators the members of Illustrators Ireland make a living from being creative. Often within the confines of a work week. This means being able to switch creativity on between the hours of nine and five, Monday to Friday.

A solo exhibition of new and retrospective paintings by Fermanagh artist Rachael Johnson.

Rachael was educated in Enniskillen. She left in 1980 to study Fine Arts and spent some years travelling and working abroad. When she returned to Ireland she worked as an illustrator and community artist in Dublin. Inspired by worldwide travels she began to develop and exhibit personal artwork.
Rachael is currently living and working in Derry.

Rachael uses mixed media to create collage paintings on canvas including paints, inks, pastels, charcoal, textured paper, organic material, fabrics & natural fibres, metal, stone, wood and glass.

The term “thin place” refers to a location where the veil between the physical and the transcendental appears permeable or “thin”, a mystical space where the boundary between our tangible world and the unseen world seem to touch. Peatlands (bogs) are considered to have this special characteristic where there is a connection between the material and the numinous.

In the artist’s own words “My art is currently informed by habitual wanderings through different levels of moor and bog”.

In A Fig for a Kiss, Naomi Litvack focuses on organic worlds, reflecting on memory, observation, and the fleeting act of looking – seeking to transform passing impressions through painting. The work explores materiality and process, with paintings that engage as much with the medium of paint itself as with image. Litvack explores the natural world using paint combined with print, collage and drawing to create layered surfaces filled with forms, scribbles, layers and loops.

Opening Night:
Thursday 23 April | 6:30 – 9:00 PM.

Crawford Art Gallery and F.E. McWilliam Gallery announce an exciting collaboration on a new exhibition of contemporary Irish art. Constellations: Selected Work from Crawford Art Gallery brings artworks from the Crawford Collection to the F.E. McWilliam Gallery in Northern Ireland. It is an exciting moment for both galleries to collaborate and connect audiences with contemporary Irish art. Featuring the work of 14 artists based on the island of Ireland, Constellations highlights the depth and richness of Crawford Art Gallery’s
contemporary holdings within Ireland’s National Collection.

Prizewinning artists Tracie Corry and Rosalind McConaghy come to the ArtisAnn Gallery in Belfast for a joint exhibition of new paintings.

Late Night Opening: WED 1st April from 6 to 8pm.

Presenting composer Matthew Whiteside’s immersive sound installation responding to the Wallace Collection – through its archives as much as its objects, tracing the systems of labour, wealth, and administration that sit beneath the museum’s refinement. The piece turns attention towards those largely absent from its narratives: the workers whose labour underpinned the wealth from which such collections emerged. In bringing together the language of record-keeping with the machinery of production, we invite audiences to listen to what has been seen as significant enough to preserve, and notice what has been excluded from those records.

Exhibition continues from 30/01/2026 to 08/11/2026.

To celebrate our 75th anniversary, the Lyric presents this new exhibition that showcases our rich history. A history which includes an art gallery (The New Gallery, 1963–1969), a literary magazine Threshold (1957–1990), a dance centre, a drama school, Belfast’s first music academy, and of course, a theatre.

SHIFT
Reflections of unknowing.

The paintings are in the hidden language of change and their numerous manifestations, and are an assimilation of that process in all its mystery. Sometimes the sources are known, sometimes they are not, but either way they become part of the painting. They are a visual diary with markers or indicators that occur naturally working with a mix of intention and intuition. Colour is used to heighten sensation and with the aim of a raw dynamic, they come into being sequentially and organically. They are an interpretative filtering of the world and universe around us.

In A Fig for a Kiss, Naomi Litvack focuses on organic worlds, reflecting on memory, observation, and the fleeting act of looking – seeking to transform passing impressions through painting. The work explores materiality and process, with paintings that engage as much with the medium of paint itself as with image. Litvack explores the natural world using paint combined with print, collage and drawing to create layered surfaces filled with forms, scribbles, layers and loops.

Glimmers is a new body of work that explores abstraction as an embodied and responsive process whilst highlighting the artist’s use of colour, surface and gesture. Yasmine’s work explores painting as both a material process and a site for reflection, memory and perception. This show reflects her ongoing engagement with the physical and emotional possibilities of paint, as well as her intuitive approach to mark-making.

Prizewinning artists Tracie Corry and Rosalind McConaghy come to the ArtisAnn Gallery in Belfast for a joint exhibition of new paintings.

The title Iarmhaireacht — the hush of the early hours when the house has finally stilled—marks the threshold space in which these worlds are made. It is the time when thought loosens, when inner and outer landscapes dissolve, when the real world and the imagined one share the same light. The landscapes that appear here are familiar yet not entirely ours—Ireland, yes, but seen from a slight distance; this planet, perhaps, but tilted toward another possible version of itself. They are places just slightly out of reach, close enough to recognize, far enough to long for: the world we know, and the world we hope might yet be possible.
