Red Barn Gallery

The Red Barn Gallery, or RBG Belfast, was a photography gallery and exhibition space in central Belfast, Northern Ireland, and the first there to be dedicated to film and analogue based exhibitions.

The Red Barn Gallery was converted from a pub by photographer Frankie Quinn, who used a thousand litres of white paint for the job but kept some of the trappings of the pub.

After the pub closed in the early 80s, the premises were used as temporary storage space and as a warehouse, or lay empty.

The gallery's website stated, "Our aim is to inspire and educate through exhibitions, projects and workshops with the objective of encouraging the appreciation and improvement of social documentary photography.

"[2] The gallery was dedicated to the traditional use of film and the principles of minimal post processing use of photo editing software and maintains a core ethos of photography captured in the camera and not heavily edited or altered on a computer.
