YOur place or mine?

out of PLACE opens its doors
Summer highlights in the “out of PLACE” venue at 9 Castle Lane will include an interactive Paint by Numbers exhibition, a marching rock band, architecture tours and children’s gardening workshops - all a stone’s throw from Victoria Square.

Shop units have been left empty across Northern Ireland in recent years, a trend exacerbated by the recession. With a focus on animating streets and bringing life to the urban environment, “out of PLACE” uses these vacant units as a catalyst for vibrant urban cultural activities.

Click here to visit the PLACE website and find out more about Paint by Numbers (5th-25th July), Escape Act's city centre performance (17th-18th July), the Reconnecting the City panel discussion (4th August), Architecture Tours, Lunchbox Talks and more! http://www.place.uk.net/en/exhibitions-events/2010/06/10/out-of-place/out-of-place-highlights-july-august/
