Mission

Vault Artist Studios is a diverse multi-disciplinary arts organisation dedicated to creating space where art and people thrive. Founded to address a need for affordable studio spaces, we support artists across all disciplines and career stages, fostering collaboration and community within our membership.

We breathe life into buildings and places, empowering artists to shape Belfast’s evolving identity. Through our work and by celebrating creativity we break barriers to cultural participation and enrich lives. Vault is a lifeline for artists and a positive example of the transformative effect of art for people and place.

vision

Vault's vision is to establish sustainable, secure and permanent creative spaces where art is made and experienced and where community is nurtured. We are at the forefront of driving the systemic changes needed to develop this strategy in Belfast and beyond.

Vault aims to forge a brighter future by working in collaboration with progressive organisations and individuals who value the arts and harness creativity to help build a fairer and more equitable future where people, not capital, are at the heart of the decisions that shape our world.
