Get ready, Belfast…something amazing is coming!
It’s Bold. It’s Ambitious. It’s Unifying. It’s Creative. And it’s Completely FREE.
An incredible arts adventure in music and performance, open to all ages from every corner of the city!
This is YOUR chance to be part of something unforgettable, working with Northern Ireland’s top professional artists, bridging divides and bringing people together from all 4 corners of the city to co-create a massive public production to be showcased both in local communities and right in the heart of Belfast.
We’re beyond excited to launch Arts Across the Genre’s first project, ‘Polyphonic: Many Voices, One Dream’, which is part of Belfast City Council 's Local Community Action Plan, supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body - SEUPB , with match funding provided by the Executive Office in Northern Ireland and the Department of Rural and Community Development in Ireland.
The Arts Across the Genres programme harnesses the power of creativity to promote understanding, build bridges and celebrate Belfast’s rich cultural tapestry through the arts.
Running from July 2025 to September 2027, Arts Across the Genres will bring together
hundreds of participants across North, South, East, and West Belfast to engage in dynamic,
collaborative projects spanning a wide range of artistic disciplines, including music, theatre,
dance, visual and digital arts, creative writing, and filmmaking. Designed to spark connection and encourage cross-community dialogue, beginning with “Polyphonic: Many Voices, One Dream! brought to you by our delivery partner Beam Creative Network ”
From creative sessions and inspiring masterclasses to exciting trips and workshops, to connecting with new people, creating new bonds and loads of fun along the way, this is more than just a project. It is a transformative experience for all!
Why not make it a family affair and get everyone involved?
