Galway Arts Centre
About the Arts Centre
If you are a keen artist, writer or theatre lover, Galway Arts Centre is the perfect outlet. A hive of activity night and day, the centre has two buildings in the heart of Galway. The first on Dominick Street is a 3,000 square foot gallery exhibiting national and international contemporary art. The gallery also offers classes in art, writing and photography and workshops in drama, music and voice. The second building is Nun’s Island Theatre, nearby in The Claddagh. It was transformed from an old Presbyterian church into a modem 80 seat modern theatre. This building is home to the Galway Youth Theatre and it also hosts concerts, films and seminars.
If planning a visit, it’s certainly worth checking out the Galway Arts Centre website beforehand and scheduling in some of their classes, workshops and performances to complement your experience in this famously cultural city.
The gallery opens from 10am-5.30pm Monday to Thursday, 10am-5pm Fridays and 10am-2pm on Saturdays. Admission is free.
