Crescent Arts Centre

Its facilities include a dance studio named after its late patron, the choreographer and Holocaust survivor Helen Lewis.

[1] The centre is home to the annual June Belfast Book Festival.

In September 2008, then Minister of Culture Arts and Leisure, Gregory Campbell, announced the awarding of capital funding to allow refurbishment of the University Road site to get underway.

The Crescent itself contributed £236,000 and has appointed fundraising consultants to raise the rest.
