We have a significant Collection of indoor artworks which includes a large number of paintings and some small sculptures by 20th and 21st century Irish-based artists. These have been donated to, and bought by, dlr over the last number of decades; many of the artists have a strong connection to the county.
We also have a varied public art programme - art that shown in a public space, outside of a gallery, where it is available to a wide audience. We’ve been involved in public art for over 30 years and have lots of outdoor sculptures, both permanent and temporary.
Recently our public art programme has grown to include:
- Literature
- Theatre
- Photography
- Dance
- Music
- Film
Most of our public art programme is funded through the Per Cent for Art Scheme
