Late Night Art at The Crescent

Our current Late Night Art series has been curated by Conall McCauley! Conall is working with talented Befast-based artists to bring you a series of creative hands-on activities.

For February's Edition of Late Night Art, and in collaboration with Seedhead Arts, join us to Design your own Tag with local street artist FGB/Francois Got Buffed.

In this drop-in workshop, FGB will take you through the basics of creating your own graffiti tag design using paint pens, working with you to come up with a unique/personalised tag to take home with you! 

This is a free event with all materials provided. As always, no previous experience or booking is required - but get down early to grab a spot! Come along and simply bring yourself, maybe a friend and pop in for a relaxed creative session.

Practical Info: 

• When: Late Night Art is the first Thursday of the month and activity 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! 

Do join us and soak up the atmosphere of Late Night Art, get creative and immerse yourself in Belfast’s art scene.

FGB is a self-taught street artist currently based in Belfast, where he's been redecorating the city legally and otherwise for over two decades. His style is a visual mash-up of urban life, political edge, and whatever weird ideas kept him awake the night before. Drawing from pop art, street art, graffiti and skate culture, his work invites viewers to pause and reflect on the world around them. Whether on a wall or in a gallery, FGB continues to blur the line between public space and personal expression.

FGB is a frequent collaborator with Seedhead Arts and is a mainstay at their annual street art festival Hit the North, which returns this May!
