Art. It plays a big part in the life of a city and community. It’s all about coming together, increasing well–being and a sense of place for everyone in the community.

In Lisburn, we believe it’s all about participation, so whether you wish to take part in an arts activity, get your school or community group involved in an arts programme – or even if you fancy volunteering there’s something for everyone.

You will also find out about local community arts groups, look for an artist in our Creative Connections directory, or publicise your group’s own arts programmes in our ‘Promoting the Arts in Our City’ section, you’ll find the relevant information inside this your first dedicated brochure on Community Arts in Lisburn City.

Above all, through participation in community arts, we are here to help you feel part of Lisburn. So, join up, take part and place Art at the heart of the City of Lisburn!
