We are a not-for profit online platform promoting and selling work by contemporary artists in Northern Ireland Run by household belfast.
We work with contemporary artists based in Northern Ireland who have developed strong, engaging and evolving practices and have a history of exhibiting nationally and internationally.
We feel passionately about promoting this work, and strive to provide a supportive environment and create opportunities for these artists to show and sell their work to new audiences. As a not-for-profit enterprise, when you buy an artwork from us you are investing directly in the artist and supporting the arts ecology of Northern Ireland.
With a spectrum of work available, we want you to discover the perfect piece of art for your home. More than a simple domestic decoration, we want you to find art that is also intriguing, provocative, relevant, compelling, beautiful, and perfect for you.
