RAW – Vault in Focus

‘Vault Artist Studios’ is the largest provider of affordable studios in Northern Ireland. We are also the most diverse multi-disciplinary studio space in the north of Ireland, with two premises in Belfast City.

We have around 100 members: active, professional artists working across the visual and performing arts. Many of our members actively use lens-based components in their individual practices, and not just our photographers and filmmakers; also our printmakers, painters, signwriters, street artists and community artists; circus performers and puppeteers; sculptors; playwrights, performers and theatre practitioners; musicians and sound artists; weavers and textile artists.

This show brings together a broad range of approaches and media, some of which responds to the ‘Environment and Climate’ theme of this year’s festival, and all of which reflects our diverse and multidisciplinary ethos.
