I'll be up at the Vault Xmas Market again today. Hoping for more conversations like:
'Can I pay you in Euro?'
'OK. How come you're paying in Euro?'
'I won in a casino in Dublin'
And:
'Do you know anyone who does mime in Belfast'
'Yeah, there's a guy called Grant doing mime behind you.'
Some shots from Day 1 of our Christmas Market by our talented member and co-chair and professional photographer Kristi McHenry. We're doing it all over again today from 11am-5pm at Carlisle Memorial thanks to @bbtbelfast.bsky.social
Food, drink, 80+ stalls, music, and no-AI generated 'art'. C U !

@vaultartiststudios.bsky.social Christmas Market opens this weekend we got in the paper due to our anti AI stance.
I know its not the New York Times but it is something. :)

We bumped into Mrs Claus in a shopping centre in the North Pole where she was trying to do a spot of Christmas shopping.

She didn’t seem particularly impressed and is coming to the Vault Christmas Market to get her gifts made by human hands instead. Hurrah!!!!!!

When we founded @vaultartiststudios.bsky.social in the deep past of 2017 we did so with the idea that art could improve things, that art could build and enrich communities and make radical creative change to our home city of Belfast.

Every year I design the @vaultartiststudios.bsky.social Christmas Market poster and this year I was going to go with an abstract torn paper design like you might find on a billboard in Europe but as soon as I started the design it sent this way and there was nothing I could do to stop it.
