Welcome to Golden Thread Gallery, Northern Ireland’s leading international contemporary visual arts organisation, based in and informed by the local. We are actively committed to enhancing and widening the cultural experience for those living in, working in and visiting the region. Golden Thread Gallery prides itself on offering a friendly, open space where everyone is welcome. For those who have never visited the gallery before, why not pay us a visit and get a taste of what we do?

From its beginnings in a former linen mill on a contested ‘peace line’ in North Belfast, Golden Thread Gallery has delivered annual programmes of exhibitions and activities designed to make a real contribution to the visual arts and wider communities in Northern Ireland.

If you’re exploring Belfast city, come and see what we do! Golden Thread Gallery offers a unique artistic encounter, and is located on Great Patrick Street between Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter and the historic Sailor Town area of the city.
