The award-winning Golden Thread Gallery re-opened to the public in new premises on Queen Street on Saturday 10 August 2024.

The former Gas Corporation Showroom and Craftworld building at 23-29 Queen Street, Belfast, has been renovated and restored to bespoke specifications to become the gallery’s new city-centre home. Set across two floors, our new venue includes 2 large galleries, a projection room, a Community Participation & Engagement Hub, and Northern Ireland’s first visual art library & archive. Entry to the gallery is free.

Co-Directors Peter Richards and Sarah McAvera and the GTG team look forward to welcoming visitors back to the gallery.

Peter Richards says, “We’re excited to collaborate with you to actively cultivate the rich histories of art in Belfast, fostering its power to inspire and empower our communities for generations to come.”

Co-Director Sarah McAvera says, “We’re delighted that the gallery is now in the heart of Belfast city centre, in a location where we can not only welcome back our existing audiences but be more easily discovered by new visitors. We’ve always been passionate about the power of art as a place to dream, to think outside of yourself, to be creative and to have fun. We work with communities across the city, and our new venue truly has something for everyone.”
