About BIAF
Currently celebrating our 62nd year, BIAF was re-envisioned as an independent charitable company in 2015, out of the previous Belfast Festival at Queen’s, to deliver an annual, city-wide, international contemporary arts event. BIAF is widely recognised as both a significant event in Belfast’s cultural calendar and a strategic leader in Northern Ireland’s arts sector, and is recognised for showcasing world class artists and productions of a high international standard that reflects and promotes both our changing city and the continuing evolution of creative practice from around the world.

The annual event, which mainly takes place in October, includes theatre, dance, music, visual arts, film, literature, thought leadership and outdoor community events to animate the public realm.

The vision of BIAF is to create a genuinely civic event of contemporary arts and ideas from home and abroad that has international stature and appeal. With our partners throughout the city, we create a distinctive environment for audiences to enjoy and participate in inspirational and transformative experiences from world-class artists, thinkers and leaders.
