R-Space Gallery’s Creative Outreach Programme is currently funded by Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council. We have now been awarded additional funding by the Foyle Foundation to expand the programme and offer six additional arts projects to groups in greatest need with low engagement in the arts in the Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council area. If you and your groups would like to take part, complete a short questionnaire. Thank you!
