Belfast Council might be able to provide an alternative showcase night - at less than a quarter of the last budget
Belfast Council is continuing to look at options for an alternative to Culture Night in the city this year.
Earlier this month the Deputy Lord Mayor of Belfast said it was “embarrassing” that the city would again not have Culture Night this year, despite the council pushing its big Belfast 2024 cultural programme. The council report states: “As a pre-existing event in the city, with a defined list of galleries and participants, officers could consult with the organisers of Late Night Art to assess the appetite and feasibility of producing a special night.”
A third model would be to invite organisations to apply for small grants to develop and deliver events in venues throughout the city. The report states: “There is significant time and human resources required with this approach, particularly given the current workloads relating to delivery of Belfast 2024” and other programmes.
The DUP said they would "probably" support option three but insisted with Sinn Féin on costings for all three options, and an officers report on their capacity to delive all options.
