Update on Shankill Mission

As CEO of Argyle Business Centre, I am pleased to announce that we have entered a partnership with The Vault Artist Studios for their meanwhile occupation of The Shankill Mission Building 110-120 Shankill Road, to help bring it back to public use. We are very excited about the new energy and enthusiasm the arts will bring to the area, and The Vault, a very outgoing and outlooking organisation, are keen to strengthen links with the community in the Shankill.
This project will also link very closely with Argyle’s hosting of two cohorts of student placements from ArtEZ University of the Netherlands. An Undergraduate Programme of 9 students from February to end of March 2023, and a Postgraduate Masters Programme of 10 students from start of March to end of June 2023. Whilst initially ‘hosted’ in Argyle, both cohorts of international students are matched up with local community groups for their placement time in Belfast, and their individual work with these community works will form a significant component of their final academic award.
Exciting times in the Shankill! – Drennan McBride, CEO
