Mission Statement
As well as presenting a range of visual arts exhibitions in our gallery space, we also host events such as music, performance, poetry readings and dance. Outreach and education work is integral to our success, with one of our key objectives being to engage with a wide and varied range of audiences. Our studio is used for short term exhibitions & screenings, as well as for a variety of classes and workshops. It is also a rehearsal space for theatre, dance, music, and is available for meetings and seminars. (

STAC Chapel, launched in Spring 2023 as an additional space for South Tipperary Arts Centre, will allow an expansion in the range of arts programming we can offer audiences. Located on the new Kickham Plaza, in the former Barracks Chapel, STAC Chapel is a multi-use space which will host a diversity of practices and events across visual arts, film, music, dance and theatre, among others. STAC Chapel will also act as a site for experimentation and development through residencies, talks and workshops.
