Workshops

Future Labs is DAS's creative, innovative training programme that aims to provide technical support for those who wish to experiment with new and emerging technologies, to broaden and enhance their digital skills.

Future Labs workshops are available online and DAS offers in-person workshops, studio sessions and one-to-one tutorials.

Facilities

DAS has two open-plan studios with desk spaces for up to 30 artists. We have equipment including a range of Mac Pro Computers, a PC Computer and various kit from cameras to Virtual Reality headsets. We also offer a range of software. A full list of equipment is available here. DAS provides a residency coordinator who works closely with residents assisting them with all technical needs and support. Each artist benefits from a feature page on our website.

Our facilities include a shared studio for artists and hotdesk facilities where you can rent a workstation for anything from an hour to a month. We run workshops in a range of subjects from creative code to DSLR filmmaking and all of our training can be offered as outreach. We curate visual, digital art for screenings and exhibitions and hold a substantial archive of local and international artists’ work.

Exhibitions

Since 2008 DAS has showcased work by many artists in a range of exhibitions in partnership with local galleries including PS2, Platform Arts, Pollen Studios, Belfast Exposed, Cotton Court Gallery, The Beanbag Cinema, The Ulster University Art Gallery and the Golden Thread Gallery.

Since 2019 DAS has organised an Annual Review exhibition showcasing work by artists on the Home Residency Programme.
