HOW WE GOT TO… BELFAST CENTRAL LIBRARY

The Golden Thread Gallery has moved to our new home in Belfast City Centre with bespoke gallery spaces for our exhibitions and a participation and engagement hub (supported by our Calouste Gulbenkian Civic Organisation of the Year runner's up win and Ampersand Foundation) for the vital work that we do connecting communities to culture and arts.

This wonderful new space has opened up opportunities for us to expand and grow, but it has also reminded us of our past, our successes, and what we’ve already achieved. We want to take this time to reflect on what we have accomplished from our first exhibition at Brookfield Mill, to our fifteen years at Great Patrick Street and to share these successes with audiences.

A selection of artists were asked to respond to their past encounters with GTG and provide a small work that can be part of a touring exhibition. Golden Thread Gallery has a rich history of delivering diverse artistic programming. From the very beginning, we have worked to create links with our local communities and we want to celebrate this by using local libraries and public space on a route down from North Belfast to our beautiful new home on Queen Street.

Work exhibited in “How We Got To…” will then enter our permanent collection, a key part of our future growth.

Nature, identity, our place in the world, how we got here and what our future looks like are all themes that are explored throughout our new programme to help us achieve our aim of making visual art accessible to as many people as possible.

We are incredibly excited about the future of The Golden Thread Gallery, and this touring exhibition is just the beginning!

Further details on the exhibition and related events can be found on our website and social media.
