STAC Chapel, launched in Spring 2023. Located on the new Kickham Plaza, in the former Barracks Chapel, STAC Chapel is being developed as a multi-use space which will allow an expansion in the range of arts programming we can offer audiences. Over the two years it has been host to a range of events across visual arts, film, dance, music, theatre and spoken word. STAC Chapel has also become a site for experimentation and development of new work through residencies, talks and workshops, as well as community-based-projects supported by Creative Ireland.
We are not accepting submissions or applications for our venues at this time.
All opportunities/Open Calls that arise will be announced on our website and social media channels. To keep up to date subscribe to our monthly newsletter.
