Tools for Togetherness – Tender Opportunity currently openÂ
The Belfast City Council Culture team and Belfast Stories project are inviting proposals from the creative sectors to commission a series of pilot projects based around the concept of an ‘Artist-led Library of interventions; as shared Citizen Resource’.
This will empower creatives to create thoughtful interventions which align with fostering community togetherness in public spaces. For example, a table which empowers neighbours to host a shared meal, a projection-based game or a pop up cinema etc.
These artist-led actions are designed to spark connection, reflection, and collective creativity. Once realised, the interventions will be transferred to a new ownership under ‘The Tools for Togetherness Library’. Whilst the details around this are still to be defined, it is the hope of the Council that the library will have a physical presence within our city. Longer term, the Council hopes to explore the feasbility of a space for the Tools for Togetherness Library in the Belfast Stories building.
Who’s it For?
The submission welcomes proposals from companies (including individuals, organisations, sole traders, artists, cohorts, collectives) to develop a project or initiative that aligns with the ambitions and principles of Tools for Togetherness.
An online information session will be held for all interested bidders at 12pm on Wednesday 23rd July. Please register you interest and confirm your attendance by emailing to culture@belfastcity.gov.uk no later than 22nd July 2025.  A MS Teams link will be emailed to you on receipt of confirming your attendance.
