Belfast Peer Support Programme 2026: Speed Curating | Informal Gallery Walk- 26th November
The Belfast Peer Support Programme 2026 is a transformative initiative aimed at empowering visual artists across Northern Ireland, particularly those working in isolated and rural areas. Through curated opportunities for engagement with curators, artist talks, and professional development activities, this programme provides critical support and visibility to independent artists.
