Visual Art Off-Site Projects / Commissions

Building on partnerships and inter-disciplinary relationships within the county, Roscommon Arts Centre takes a nomadic approach to programming that often involves working with non-arts spaces around the county including museums and parks. We strive to create an efficient and cohesive overarching visual arts programme that not only supports the production of work by local and national artists but also provides the platform for its presentation supported by events that assist with its mediation.
