Welcome to the Viewing Project
An Grianán Theatre is the lead partner in The Viewing Project, a PEACEPLUS funded creative arts project set in Donegal and its border regions that runs from autumn 2025 to summer 2027.
Across the two years of the project more than 300 participants, including professional theatre makers, emerging artists, community and youth groups, school pupils and more, will engage in a wide variety of arts activities. This will include theatre projects, visual arts, writing, professional career development and much more.
There will also be ample opportunity for audiences to engage in the resulting work with exhibitions, theatre performances and outdoor spectacles all to be enjoyed.
Under the guidance of our project manager Noeline Kavanagh, The Viewing Project will strive to use the creative arts to build positive communities, enhance inclusivity, and foster interconnectivity across Donegal and its border regions.
It seeks to integrate the arts into communities, promote cultural understanding, and facilitate dialogue on social, intercultural and trauma informed contexts.
