Rhythm, the 2026 August Craft Month Exhibition, opens at Craft NI Gallery July 23rd!

The 2026 August Craft Month Exhibition will feature contemporary craft works that highlight the connections between making and music, traditional or contemporary. As Belfast is getting ready to host  the annual Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, local designer makers share with us how music, with its rhythms, harmonies or lyrics inform their making.

Participating makers: Adam Frew, Celine Traynor, Corinne Price, Eddie Doherty, Eimear Malone, Fiona Kerr, Hannah Ferguson, Joel Smyth, John Piekaar, Karen Hamilton, Kevin Callaghan, Natasha Heaslip, Nicola dalton, Peter Meanley, Stuart Cairns, Sue Cathcart, Tamzen Lundy, Ursula McGivern.
