Cult: An Art Exhibition

An exhibition of occult, esoteric and darker work from local and international artists asking the difficult questions...
About this Event

Cult: An Art Exhibition is bringing local and international artists to Belfast for a celebration of alternative art at Vault Artists Studios!

Cult was created to show work by artists whose work doesn't always fit into traditional gallery spaces. It exists in the in-between spaces of pop art, fine art, gothic culture, underground markets, street art and is often dismissed as unrefined, “too dark” or “too weird”.

We are not afraid to explore the darker elements of our psyche: we poke at the bad tooth, we provide the “Ew where did that idea come from?” moments. We explore nightmares, things we are not meant to say and the unconsciousness of what connects us as human beings.

Our lived experiences are not beautiful landscapes and vases of flowers. Neither are they art school abstracts. So our artwork isn't either. It's real and while it's not always easy it's relatable. There is a tangible link in being able to address trauma through fantastical artwork and it is important to us that we keep making and sharing this work for our own mental health. So we do!

There is an opportunity to take part in workshops and events to support the exhibition and meet the artists in person.

All information can be found through our instagram page @cult__anartexhibtion or facebook: Cult: An Art Exhibition.

Free entry, drop in any time from midday - 9pm.

workshops will also be happening to look out for those.

Expect to meet the artists who have made the work. Everything is for sale and there are merch tables.

ND info: The space is inviting and not super quiet as we will be painting and chatting in there. The light is moslty daylight with a section at the back which is darker for screens and projections.
