Welcome to the Tullamore Community Arts Centre project. This project is a work in progress, so please keep an eye on our monthly updates for development on the build and on the community fundraising campaign..

Proposed for Kilbride Plaza, adjacent to the Heritage Centre and alongside the Grand Canal, the centre will include a 250 seat auditorium, dedicated art gallery, cafe/bar, workshop, and a series of rehearsal/meeting rooms. It will be a distinctive municipal building of contemporary architecture with good use of natural materials and light, environmentally sound in its build and daily use.

The architectural design for the centre has been chosen, through a competition process which was managed by the RIAI. The design team are A2 Architects with a design that is modern, practical and accessible. The building will accommodate a number of creative and overlapping uses and the internal spaces are designed to be flexible in accommodating these. This will be a place where drama groups will rehearse, writers groups will meet, tutors will conduct classes, musicians will practice and artists will create; it will be a place to experience theatre and dance, enjoy readings, exhibitions and seminars, to hear, see and feel new experiences.
