As the only studio dedicated to sculptural practice in Northern Ireland, it significantly contributes to the region’s visual art practice through subsidised studio provision and resources. Flax acts as a hub for professional development, international networking, and fostering greater understanding through outreach and engagement. Flax provides studio space for the most exciting artists in NI, reaching over 100 artists/creatives through studio provision and through its production and workshop membership programmes.
