Golden Thread Gallery is Belfast’s leading contemporary art gallery. We use visual arts to open up the past, present and future, by offering the public a contextual experience of visual art of our time. We create opportunities for people to include art in their daily lives and use art as a tool for making life better. We believe that art is for everybody, and we engage and involve traditionally hard-to-reach audiences through free workshops, educational activities and collaborative community projects that help art enhance everyday life. In our new city-centre venue on Queen Street, we strive to be a welcoming, accessible destination. Entry to the gallery is free. 

Our annual programme includes:
•	7+ major exhibitions 
•	Free events including artist talks and tours
•	Community participation hub
•	In house workshops for all ages & abilities
•	Artist mentoring
•	Offsite workshops
•	Online workshops 

Through our programme we aim to build positive connections within and between communities; create new opportunities for creative skills development, volunteering, mentoring & employment through the visual arts; and improve participants’ confidence, resilience, wellbeing and mental health. 

From its beginnings, in 1998, in a former linen mill on a contested ‘peace line’ in North Belfast, Golden Thread Gallery has delivered annual programmes of exhibitions and activities designed to make a real contribution to the visual arts and wider communities in Northern Ireland.
