QEST Northern Ireland Showcase Exhibition
QEST Northern Ireland Showcase Exhibition
1 February - 22 March 2024
Antrim
QEST is delighted to be partnering with Craft NI to host our first physical event in Northern Ireland: an exhibition of works by QEST Alumni from the island of Ireland.
The exhibition will be held in the Craft NI Gallery – Belfast’s only dedicated craft venue. Crafts on display will range from those familiar to Craft NI visitors – such as silversmithing and handloom weaving – to disciplines shown at the Gallery for the first time, including musical instrument making and wrought iron putter making.
We look forward to bringing alumni together, and to raising the profile of our support for makers in Northern Ireland! Visit the Gallery Monday to Saturday from 10am to 5pm – or explore the exhibition on Craft NI’s website:
