| Recipient Org: Description | Golden Thread Gallery (GTG) is a contemporary visual art gallery. Our purpose is to present innovative artistic programmes of high quality that embrace the breadth and variety of contemporary arts practice, and to develop, support and promote the work of contemporary Northern Irish artists and creative practice. Our mission statement is “Creating a context, challenging perceptions, promoting creativity, delivering contemporary visual art for all”. We strive to be a destination where each and every visitor is engaged, educated, challenged and inspired by visual art. Our main gallery annual programme showcases world-class national and international artists, while our Project Space programme is designed to support early career artists. We attract diverse audiences, and strive to make contemporary art more accessible to the widest possible audiences by providing arts-based outreach programmes. We provide a range of services, including: an exhibition program; a project space; in-house and off-site educational and outreach activities. This range of services has been devised to build audiences, improve access and public experience, and support the region’s contemporary visual arts professionals. Each year our programme includes: • 6 main space exhibitions (large scale exhibitions across our two main gallery spaces) • 6 Project space exhibitions (a smaller space for emerging artists and experimental work) • In house workshops, talks and tours linked to the exhibitions (last year 79 activities with 926 participants) • Offsite workshops (last year 27 activities with 860 participants) GTG is a member of Plus Tate network, lead partner in Draw-Down-the Walls and a core member of the Belfast Visual Arts Forum. We host the weekly Royal Literary Fund ‘Reading Round’ in NI. We frequently collaborate with other arts organisations including Outburst Arts, Culture Night and the CQAF. Our average annual audience for the past 5 years is 24,000. Our audiences include: • Families • People from area of high social deprivation • Schoolchildren • Migrants, refugees and asylum seekers • Cultural explorers • Older people aged 65+ • Artists and art professionals GTG has delivered projects for all abilities and ages with many community organisations: NICRAS; Brain Injury Matters; Lower Shankill Community Association; North Belfast Interface Network; Kilcooley Women’s Centre; Newhill Ladybirds Groups; Glenbank Community Garden; New Lodge Serenity Club.
