ACNI Expression of Interest Regional Immersive Arts Showcase

Overview

Between November 2025 and March 2026 ACNI will host a series of digital art showcases in collaboration with Local Authorities and arts organisations. Work shown will be from projects developed through the Creative Industries Seed Fund, Organisations and Individual Artists Digital Evolution.

Showcases will be hosted in four local authority areas, subject to final discussions: Ards & North Down, Causeway Coast & Glens, Armagh, Banbridge & Craigavon, and Derry & Strabane. 

The aim of this event is to showcase and celebrate work created to broader audiences beyond Belfast, to provide an opportunity for Local Authorities and arts organisations to gain experience of showing digital arts, and create opportunities to network with local artists.

There will be limited spaces to exhibit, especially depending on work shown, and this expression of interest is for anyone who would like to participate. ACNI cannot provide the equipment needed to showcase the work; you will need to provide and setup your work on the day.

Once expression of interest forms have been received your projects will be reviewed by ACNI and participating local authorities/arts organisations to curate exhibitions that will work in their venues. 

If you wish to attend please submit the form below by the 22 August 2025. Submissions will be reviewed in the week commencing 25 August before discussions will be planned with participating Local Authorities. It is anticipated that this will be competitive.

Freelance artists will be provided a day rate of £200 towards their time, and reasonable travel expenses to exhibit (mileage or public transport costs) by invoice following the event.
