Our Artist in Residence space is a unique facility that brings international, national and home-grown artists from a range of genres to the MAC.
Details
Igniting creative collaboration with the MAC’s artistic partners, audiences and local communities, the Artist in Residence programme is helping to shape the cultural landscape in Northern Ireland.
We are pleased to welcome musician Tony Wright to the MAC Artist in Residence space until 31 August 2018.
Current Artist in Residence
Current Artist in Residence: Tony Wright
Tony Wright is 20 years – man and boy - into a remarkable career as a musician. From being courted by big labels at the age of 15 to conquering the DIY scene in his late twenties, to an increasingly compelling solo career with his latest acclaimed musical incarnation VerseChorusVerse, Tony has seen the world & can't decide whether he is richer or poorer for it. With the keen eye of a documentary maker, Tony will spend some of his time at the MAC finalising his first book, in which he'll take us through the highest of highs and the most despairing of lows that make up his “pretty weird life” so far!
Look out for more information on his upcoming show and book launch at the MAC.
