The Regional Cultural Centre, a fabulous new multidisciplinary arts facility developed by Donegal County Council, has opened adjacent to An Grianán Theatre. Described by the Irish Times as a ‘cultural beacon’, the distinctive glass and aluminium structure was designed by the Letterkenny based, award winning MacGabhann Architects. It presents a programme of exhibitions, concerts, film, digital media, education and outreach.
The Centre incorporates:
- A first floor art gallery
- An auditorium with 150 retractable seats and full cinema facilities
- Three multi-purpose workshops
- Two dedicated digital media suites
- Two small music rehearsal rooms
- Two Foyer galleries
The two state of the art digital media suites will run a programme of creative digital media workshops catering to all ages and levels of experience, in areas such as animation, music, photography, video, web-design & interactivity. The Regional Cultural Centre is available to hire for arts, community and business events.
The Centre is directly operated by Donegal County Council’s Cultural Services Division and receives revenue funding from the Arts Council and Letterkenny Town Council. The building has been funded by The Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism ACCESS scheme: EU INTERREG IIIA: International Fund for Ireland: Arts Council / Irish Film Board: Donegal County Council and Letterkenny Town Council.
