Down Arts Collective is a welcoming monthly gathering for artists of all disciplines who live, work, or create within Newry, Mourne and Down.
Inspired by the nurturing, reflective spirit of spaces like the Tyrone Guthrie Centre, this hub is a place to pause, meet kindred creatives, and nourish the long game of artmaking — not alone, but together.
Whether you’re a painter, performer, writer, filmmaker, musician, community artist, or simply a curious creative soul, Down Arts Collective offers an open door and a warm cup of coffee.
In a landscape where artists often work in isolation or compete for limited resources, this hub provides an antidote: a regular, gently held space for peer connection, creative visibility, and mutual support.
Our Goals are Simple but Vital:
- To connect local artists and creative practitioners across disciplines
- To support artistic practice through dialogue, shared knowledge, and funding insights
- To nurture the arts ecology of the region through collective momentum
- To cultivate a sense of belonging and purpose for artists in our rural and urban communities.
