The Shorelines Arts Festival also hosts workshops and opportunities to all groups within the local community to develop their imagination through art, music, drama etc.

The Gallery at the Workhouse, which was first used as a gallery space for the 2013 festival has now become a permanent art exhibition space for visiting art exhibitions and local artistic talks, workshops and amateur exhibitions.

The 2024 event, in the idyllic surroundings of Portumna and Lough Derg promises to be a feast for all visitors who appreciate the creative arts.
