- Exhibitions Policy
- The Belfast Exposed Exhibition Programme aims to support the development and presentation of socially engaged forms of contemporary photographic practice. We commission and support the development of new work by artists working in Northern Ireland and internationally. We work collaboratively with artists, researchers and local community development workers in generating visual comment on different aspects of contemporary life. We work in partnership and exchange with artists, visuals arts institutions and publishers locally and internationally. We operate an open submissions policy; submitted proposals are considered in January of each year. We also actively approach artists with whom we would like to work. We programme artists' talks, public discussions and film screenings (where appropriate) to accompany exhibitions.
