Strand Arts Centre celebrates first 5 years as East Belfast community rallies to secure its future
From an intimate gig with Van Morrison and the premiere of Good Vibrations to creative activities for kids and large-scale youth musicals, no two days have been the same at the Strand Arts Centre, currently celebrating its fifth birthday.
The not-for-profit charity took over the tenancy of Northern Ireland’s oldest cinema building in 2013 with the aim of securing both its short-term survival and long-term redevelopment. Since then it has enjoyed a new lease of life as East Belfast’s only dedicated arts venue.
