“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

Thank you in advance for your support!
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
