Art Happening showcases arts and health initiatives operating across Belfast, highlighting how creative practice intersects with community wellbeing. The series profiles diverse organisations including Voices Women’s Group, Mullan Mews, Open Arts Drama, Play Resource Warehouse, and the Parkinson’s Society. Each episode documents a different project, revealing how artistic engagement supports health outcomes and social connection.

One dedicated discussion episode brings arts providers together to explore facilitation in community settings and the role of creative work in pursuing health and wellbeing. Through these snapshots, the series demonstrates the breadth of Belfast’s arts – health sector, from therapeutic drama groups to social sculpture projects like the Social Sofa at Hemsworth Court. Rather than focusing on finished artworks, Art Happening centres process, participation and the transformative potential of community-led creativity.
