Donegal County Council’s Culture Division team have recently published their 2024 Annual Review which summarises achievements in strengthening cultural engagement and fostering creativity across communities.
The Culture Division team is made up of Library, Arts, Museum, RCC, Archive, Heritage and Biodiversity services.
The highlights include: A Common Humanity exhibition, developed in collaboration between the Archives and Museum services and PRONI; a visit from Booker-Prize winning author Paul Lynch in conversation with Colm Tóibín and also the launch of My Open Library in Buncrana Community Library.
It also includes a Culture Shocks Punk Festival in the RCC; a wonderful Culture Night programme; celebrations of Donegal Town 550 and An Grianán Theatre’s 25th anniversary; the launch of the new County Donegal Heritage Plan; events celebrating National Biodiversity Week; and a wide programme of events celebrating diversity.
