Our Mission
The Regional Cultural Centre seeks to enrich peoples’ lives through arts and cultural activity. Our mission is to operate and develop as a key regional arts venue that promotes artistic excellence and innovation and seeks to attain the highest international standards in all aspects of its work. It will offer local people the same opportunities to experience high quality arts events as those afforded to people living in major cities.

Education and Participation
Education is at the forefront of the Regional Cultural Centre’s aims and objectives. The centre is dedicated to making the building and its services accessible to the widest possible range of people with a particular emphasis on access, cultural diversity and social inclusion, engagement, participation, education and training.

OUTREACH & FESTIVALS

The Regional Cultural centre has a cross-border, cross-community, multi-cultural focus. It provides a region-wide service in partnership with cultural, community and statutory organisations. It organises and commissions education and community arts projects, and also co-ordinates two annual festivals, Bealtaine for older people, Wainfest for children, both county wide in association with DCC Cultural Services. The Regional Cultural Centre is the base for the County Donegal VEC Local Music Education Partnership, and for a number of groups who rent spaces in the building for amateur and community arts projects. The expansive RCC programme includes:
