Belfast International Arts Festival

With our partners throughout the entire city, we seek to create a distinctive environment for audiences to enjoy and participate in inspirational and transformative aesthetic experiences from world-class artists, thinkers and leaders.

We do this by:

• Presenting a wide range of contemporary arts and cultural events of the highest possible international standard to the widest possible audiences from home and abroad.
• Reflecting contemporary culture from across the globe to audiences from Belfast, NI and visitors to the province.
• Offering an international showcase for the best of Northern Ireland contemporary culture.
• Presenting events which cannot easily be achieved by any other UK or Irish arts organisation through innovative programming and a commitment to creating new work.
• Actively ensuring equal opportunities and access for all sections of our communities to directly experience, participate in and enjoy the Festival.
• Collaborating and partnering with arts and community organisations across Belfast to create an annual city wide, cultural celebration.
• Ensuring the Festival has adequate financial resources and expertise to fulfil its mission and address its overall sustainability.

Our guiding principles reflect the importance of:

• Global Connections
• Contemporary and Inter-disciplinary arts practice
• Community
• Collaboration and Partnership
• Access and Diversity
