Laura McMorrow 'Not of This Earth'
In 1998 Flax developed a Graduate Residency Programme, with the aim of providing the opportunity for a young artist to make the transition from art student to professional practitioner in a safe and stimulating environment. The programme was designed to provide free studio space for one year and regular mentoring sessions with artists, curators and gallery directors. For further information click here

AXIS- engaging the elderly in the visual arts and culture |
August 2010 C.R.O.W (City Right Of Way) is a project suggested by THE Rome based urban research group Stalker on their visit to Belfast in 2010. The project takes the form of a series of monthly walks exploring and gaining access to overlooked or unorthodox locations in Belfast, organised by artists M. Hogg and A. O’ Beirn. The development of this project is hoped to bring some insights into ignored or unseen parts of Belfast. The project has been supported by British Council, Flaxart Studios and PLACE. The project is currently funded by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland. For further information click here

RESEARCH AND SEMINARS |

ROUND THE BENDS workshop at Flax Development and outreach is an integral part of Flaxart’s activities and connects the residency and graduating student programmes with a wider audience as well as developing projects in collaboration with local groups. Over the years, Flaxart has worked in partnership with community groups in the Cliftonville, Waterworks, Carrick Hill and Newington areas on participatory projects mainly aimed at young people. Flaxart aims to involve a larger section of the community in its outreach projects by involving all ages in the developmental stages of the projects and by pitching them as a tool that can benefit everyone.
Axis, a pioneering new project has been developed for 2011 engaging the elderly and visual arts.
