Chinese Brushes in Belfast and Beyond<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the past three years the ArtEast NI ladies haven’t stopped painting, despite the pandemic. Instead, they have been producing a collection of paintings in a variety of styles with influence from various cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ArtEast NI<\/a><\/strong>, founded in 2015, is a group of artists primarily in Belfast, who are enthusiastic about Chinese paintings. Over the years they have become more inclusive to accept memberships from outside Northern Ireland as well.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As we enter the Year of the Rabbit, the ArtEast Club would like to present an inclusive exhibition in collaboration with the Ulster Museum, continuing with an online exhibition facilitated by The Language Centre at Queen\u2019s. This way, they hope to bring a wider community of audience together for better engagement and greater interactivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
