Webinar | Visual Artists Café: Introducing… Belfast

Visual Artists Café: Introducing… Belfast was the first of a series of online events to highlight some of the support infrastructure for artists based in Belfast.

During this first event we hear from three people who will give short introductions and updates from their organisations and also speak on adaptions to Covid & updates on future plans.

This Visual Artists Café aims to facilitate Belfast and NI-based artists who wish to wish to find out more about local support infrastructure, and interested artists from across Ireland who are broadening their understanding of the visual arts sector as a whole.

Speakers include:

• Ciara Moloney – Freelands Artist Programme
• Peter Mutschler – PS²
• Laura O’Connor, Array Collective & WANDA Belfast
• Peter Richards – Golden Thread Gallery

Recorded on 16 March 2021.

Webinar | Visual Artists Café: Introducing… Belfast

Peter Mutschler 

I am an artist, curator and director of PS². My interest is in art and cultural production which is socially relevant, experimental, fresh and unusual. I try to link society and art through work and processes which connect with people’s lives and the glimmer of stars. This leads me increasingly more to search for ways to engage with neighbourhoods and urban or rural contexts and to re-invent traditional forms of cultural activities and display.
