Coming Home by Brian O’Doherty
What better way to celebrate a home-grown Roscommon artist than with an exhibition of his works to launch the new visual art space at Roscommon Arts Centre. “Coming Home” by Brian O’Doherty is his first ever exhibition in his native county.

Culture and Creativity Team
Our Strategy
In 2017 a Culture Team was established in Roscommon County Council comprising of staff from the Arts, Heritage, Library, Local Enterprise Office and Community and Enterprise departments. The Culture Team together with the Creative Ireland Project Office hosted an open meeting which provided an opportunity to explore how best to increase access to and engagement with the arts, heritage and creative industries in the county. The input from these discussions informed the preparation of Roscommon County Council’s Culture and Creativity Strategy 2018-2022.
...
This Strategy is an overarching plan for the county and relates to and links with the Arts and Heritage Plans and the Library service. The strategy focuses on supporting creatives of all disciplines, enhancing creativity in all children and young people of the county, enriching public engagement with culture in all its forms and continued strategic and sustainable investment in cultural infrastructure.
The Creative Ireland vision for Roscommon is that every person will have an opportunity to experience, enjoy and engage with the limitless nature of County Roscommon’s rich creative vein.
