Courthouse Gallery
The Courthouse Gallery & Studios is located in Ennistymon, Co Clare, and is an integral part of the area’s cultural life. The building is home to two galleries, four artist studios, a workshop space, and a recording studio. It holds a year-round programme of exhibitions as well as regular art workshops, artist talks and historical lectures, and offers room rental for regular classes from yoga to painting.
A Georgian courthouse building dating from 1790, the gallery was saved from demolition by local history group the Old Ennistymon Society in the 1990s when it was then used as artist studios. In 2007 it was redeveloped with the aid of Access Funding received from the then Department of Regional Development, Rural Affairs, Arts and the Gaeltacht, and support from Clare County Council.
