R-Space is delighted to deliver an arts outreach programme supported by the Halifax Foundation, and in collaboration with five groups across Lisburn. Participants with different abilities and backgrounds took part in a series of workshops, enjoyed getting creative and produced their own art. Their works will be presented in an exhibition open to all running between 28 May-7 June. Come along!

We’re on a mission to make the Longest Linen Tablecloth as part of the 2023 Linen Biennale we have commissioned textile artist Emma Whitehead to begin the design process. This will be a co-designed and co-produced project with lots of opportunity to be involved, and eventually include an invitation to the big picnic when it’s completed! With thanks to the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Patterns of Collaboration is an inclusive project aimin to unite 20 participants from Northern Ireland's largest communities and ethnic minority groups through creative workshops. Led by Robert Peters, these sessions explore participants' cultural heritage via textile art, emphasising the significance of patterns in Ireland and beyond. All thanks to funding from the Community Relations Council.
