Over the decades Wexford Arts Centre has more than lived up to its name by becoming the very epicentre of arts not only in Wexford but in the broader south east. Thousands of artists have been nurtured within its walls and a steady stream of loyal locals, holiday makers and international visitors have come to be amazed by what the region has to offer.
Eoin Colfer
Wexford Arts Centre, over all the years, has been a beacon of light. In art, film, theatre, dance, music, it has enriched the life and the imagination of Wexford town. It is one of the great achievements in Irish culture life over the past half century.
Colm Tóibín
I’ve always loved being in the Wexford Arts Centre. They were always so helpful and professional – striving to put Wexford on the map with unique and surprising local or international exhibitions and shows, being the perfect buffer for non pretentiousness with a fine depth. A ‘centre’ of Wexford’s psyche and imagination
