About Us » History

Tullamore Community Arts Centre Ltd. is a partnership between the community and local authorities in Tullamore. The company was set up to drive the development of a much needed arts centre for Tullamore following a successful capital application by Offaly County Council to government, receiving €2m under the ACCESS II scheme.

The vision and intention of developing a multidisciplinary community arts centre in the heart of Tullamore, stems from a much documented need to converge and focus the creative potential of Tullamore; its artists, its young people and the wider community. The activity at the centre will harness and be a catalyst for this creative potential by providing opportunities for participation in the arts as well as presenting a dynamic programme of local, regional, national and international arts events. The ambition for an arts centre in Tullamore is to provide the missing piece of its jigsaw, to drive the community, cultural and economic potential of this vibrant Midlands town.
