In February 2012 Belfast will have a brand new six storey, £multi-million creative arts hub. Situated in the Cathedral Quarter, The MAC (Metropolitan Arts Centre) will revitalise the city's cultural offering with three art galleries, two theatres, a dance studio, workshop space and The Den, a specially designated area for young people.

World-class local and international performances, exhibitions and classes will dominate its cultural calender. And a cafe and bar will further encourage creative collaboration and contemplation. The MAC is being hailed as "one of Europe’s most significant arts centres" - click on video and find out why.
