It’s Late Night Art in Belfast and for June’s edition we are partnering with Illustrators North. 

Using fun prompts, pens, markers, and cool art materials, you’ll help to create a collaborative drawing. It’s all about drawing freely, just like you did as children, and unlocking the world of your imagination.

As always, no experience or booking required, and materials are provided. But get down early to grab a spot! 

Practical Info: 

• When: Late Night Art is the first Thursday of the month and activity at The Crescent is between 5.30 - 7.30pm 
• Location: Cafe Husk at The Crescent
• You don’t need to pre-book, and you can pop in any time
• All art materials, tea, coffee and wine provided
• About 14 people can participate at any one time, but there’s plenty of space around to enjoy refreshments, or maybe take it turns with someone! 

Late Night Art 2026 at The Crescent Arts Centre is curated by Conall McCauley.

 

About

Illustrators North is a professional organisation founded by award-winning illustrators Ashwin Chacko and Clive McFarland with the vision to build a community of thriving illustrators in Northern Ireland.

“As illustrators, we often work in isolation so we end up being isolated from the industry. The truth is we need community to grow and thrive to push us outside our comfort zone so we can be better and contribute to strengthening our industry.”

Conall McCauley is a Belfast-based Artist, Filmmaker and Arts Coordinator. Conall has a BA in Film Studies from Queen's University Belfast and has worked throughout Ireland as a freelance sound artist, animator, arts festival coordinator and curator. Conall is the 2025/26 Late Night Art Curator at The Crescent Arts Centre, and is focused on workshop collaborations with community outreach organisations.

For over 10 years Late Night Art has run across the whole of Belfast on the first Thursday of every month with many galleries opening their doors for an evening celebration of the vibrant visual arts scene.
