🇨🇳 The chance of a lifetime is now open for applications! 🇨🇳 China Artists Residency Programme The Arts Council of Northern Ireland is pleased to announce this new funding programme, in association with the Chinese Consulate Belfast. This year’s Residency Programme is for Digital Artists working within the arts sector in Northern Ireland. artscouncil-ni.org/funding-for-in… Photographed: Back in 2019, under a similar programme, Visual artist, Mairead McCormack and poet, Emily S Cooper, were selected to travel to India (selected by ACNI & British Council) where they undertook six week residencies. This offered a unique opportunity for the artists, unlike anything they experienced before. #ACNISupported #NationalLottery @CCGBelfast #ArtResidency #ArtsCouncilNI #ACNIFunding #ArtFundingNI

So anticipating @_bebeashley_'s @IvanJuritzPrize-winning second collection from the brilliant @bansheelit, due July. It charts efforts to qualify as a British Sign Language interpreter, intershot with enquiries into the nature of language & the process of leaving & finding home.

@ACNIWriting @IvanJuritzPrize @bansheelit @ArtsCouncilNI @poetryireland @HeaneyCentre Thank you! I am very excited to so shortly share these poems!

“In my eyes, art is about connections between things. By bringing the book Happenstance into being we connected painting and writing with wonderful printing skills. This created a completely new piece of art with its own existence and its own voice.” Thank you to actor, director, and singer Adrian Dunbar who has gifted the @HeaneyCentre Happenstance, a rare limited edition book of #poetry and #art created by the painter Brian Ballard, and the founder and former director of the Centre, poet and writer Ciaran Carson. Adrian joined us at the Centre yesterday for a very special event featuring readings and traditional music, with Brian Ballard, Deirdre Carson, and other members of the Carson family. The book will now be displayed in the Centre’s public exhibition area which tells the story of writing at Queen's and the creative outcomes of friendships between poets and artists.
