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. Abú x
