Central Arts

Central Arts was founded by John & Ciara O Connell in 2014. It is based in Central Hall, a 60 seat theatre venue and is a voluntary, not-for-profit organisation that bases it activities around community involvement and participation.

The two committed and experienced directors are supported by a team of active and enthusiastic volunteers with a wide variety of skills and specialisations.

Central Arts provides an incubation space whereby our colleagues in the arts, theatre, music, festivals and education can make work and find an audience. We encourage and foster new and emerging talents and provide support services and expertise to assist in the arts.

Central Arts is a community arts company, a production hub, an incubation space and a venue situated in Waterford’s historic Viking Triangle. An inclusive friendly space, it brings artists and the community together to create and experience art in its many forms.
