Exhibition: The Veil Between

The next time you visit the Duncairn, have a look at this new wonderful visual arts exhibition from Open Arts.

Open Arts is a disabled-led organisation with most Board members and core staff having a disability. A number of freelance artists engaged in the delivery of programmes are also disabled.   

This organisation runs highly successful, participative arts activities and events in numerous art forms including dance, drama, music, creative writing and visual arts. Their activities enable disabled people to develop their creativity and artistic practice. It began as a research project in 1988 and became a charitable company in 1992, one of the first dedicated arts and disability organisations in Northern Ireland.

About “The veil between”

"It seems to me, that yet we sleep, we dream”

This exhibit showcases diverse artworks from over 30 participants from 3 visual arts Open Arts groups.
The work is a collection, which has been created over the past two years and it includes pieces that were made in response to our 2019 production of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.'
The artefacts are made in a variety of techniques including printmaking, painting and sculpture demonstrating the incredible ability and creativity of the artists involved.

You can visit The veil between until the 19th of March. Please get in touch with us to ensure access due to conferencing.
