All Ireland Gathering of Art Therapy Trainees at the Irish Museum of Modern Art

MSc Art Psychotherapy trainees from the Belfast School of Art shared a teaching day with their colleagues from the MA Art Therapy course at the Crawford College of Art and Design at the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA). Guest lectures, exhibition visits and studio art making were all part of an inspirational and exhilarating day at this inaugural gathering.

The community are very saddened to hear of the passing of former colleague and Fashion lecturer Stephen King. Stephen will be remembered as an incredible character and a man of great flair and flamboyancy.

The Walking Studio: The Art of Urban Exploration 🚶🚶‍♀️🚶🚶‍♀️
ESRC Festival of Social Science

Pamela Whitaker, Belfast School of Art
Saul Golden, School of Architecture and the Built Environment

The art of walking is for families with young people aged 12-18 who will participate in the discovery of the Cathedral Quarter (the cultural district of Belfast) as urban explorers. The aim of the walking studio is to imagine Belfast as a canvas for creative living full of life materials for the art of the family. Families will be invited to create together as an artist collective and think about the potential of creating their own studios at home based on their artistic encounters.
