What makes the organisation unique?
Built in 1828 as a Courthouse, The Dock is a significant heritage building which was restored by Leitrim County Council and reopened in 2005 as an award-winning arts centre. The venue has three galleries, a performance space, community meeting spaces, and artists’ studios. We will continue to improve and augment our facilities through a new Climate Action and Environmental Sustainability policy.
