Established in 1989, Droichead Arts Centre is a multi-disciplinary centre in the heart of Drogheda Town that provides an extensive curated arts and cultural programme. The Centre is housed over two buildings: Stockwell Street, which hosts a modern 169-seater theatre and a bright contemporary visual arts gallery, and Barlow House, an 18th century Georgian style townhouse, which hosts artist’s spaces and print studios.

Droichead actively supports artists and arts organisations, and particularly those in or from the North East region, through residencies, bursaries and other bespoke development support.

Droichead is equally committed to its audiences, with people of all ages, backgrounds, cultures and traditions encouraged and enabled to engage with the Centre through a wide variety of responsive and imaginative schemes and initiatives. Droichead is also proud to host and be a key resource for very many local community, voluntary and amateur groups.

The work of Droichead is supported and amplified by its participation in key networks including NOMAD, the North East Network, Louth Creative Ireland, The Live Network and Drogheda Tourism Cluster by its affiliation with festivals such as Cruinniú na nÓg, and Drogheda Arts Festival and by its partnership with other cultural providers including Drogheda Classical Music and Drogheda Traditional Music and Singing Weekend Weekend.

Droichead curates and produces a compelling programme of work that supports artists, and nurtures audiences. This is at the heart of who they are and what they do. It is why they exist.
