What is trans?

trans is now in its second year and features a multitude of events embracing new trends, art forms, cultures and technologies.

During a four week period, trans hosts a programme of gigs, free seminars, courses, exhibitions and broadcasts its own radio station.

The Coca-Cola Urban Arts Academy is the biggest project and is now in its 3rd year.  All the courses featured on this website are part of the Urban Arts Academy.

About the organisers

trans and the Urban Arts Academy are organised and managed by Belfast Waterfront Hall.  The Waterfront Hall is a Belfast City Council owned conference and concert centre.

Due to essential maintenance work at the Hall over the summer months, this year’s Urban Arts Academy will be held at the University of Ulster School of Art and Design.  All management, organisation and bookings will still be managed by the Waterfront Hall.
