Description
Catalyst Arts is Belfast's primary non-profit artist led organisation. As the name suggests, Catalyst Arts was envisioned as an agency that would act as a 'catalyst' cajoling, supporting and promoting culturally engaged artistic endeavours on a local, national and international basis
Catalyst Arts is run by unpaid volunteers who are motivated by a passion for the arts and an intense interest in the cultural development of Belfast. Today Catalyst Arts has a reputation and proven track record as an organisation which consistently programs and supports artistic projects of a socially and culturally engaged nature. Aside from programming and supporting art projects,
Catalyst Arts also facilitates and programmes talks, seminars, screenings and music events.
Catalyst Arts was founded on a constitution that provides a structure in which power flows from the roots of its membership to the committee of directors. Catalyst Arts boasts an archive of over 2000 unique documents of N. Irish art history, which it is currently preparing to make publicly accessible. Catalyst Arts has also organised projects internationally.
