CONARY COMMUNITY ARTS

The village of Conary is 3 miles from the village of Avoca, famous for amongst other things ,the setting for the hit T.V. show 'Ballykissangel'.
Conary or 'Cunnery' as the locals call it, is steeped in mining history
The Conary Community Hall was formerly the Kilmacoo National School,which was built in 1933.

Seventy years later,Conary Community Arts was formed(September 2003).Over the ensuing years Conary Community Arts has gone from strength to strength. With the support of Wicklow Arts Office and Wicklow Rural Partnership, as well as the local Community, we have grown into a vibrant Arts Group.
The first performance was 'St. Oscar' by Terry Eagleton, a one-man show starring Seamus Moran, with proceeds going to the Chernobyl Children's Fund. Since then we have forged links with Art Groups from home and abroad.
Utilizing the Conary Community Hall, a venue containing historic significance to the Community. It has also been the venue for Play Station Marathons, Photographic Exhibitions, the first ever Conary Summer Camp. And most recently the Conary Foroige Youth Club, the Conary Young Film Makers Course and the Conary Film Club.
We endeavour to create a hub of artistic expression to serve the Community and foster an awareness and appreciation of the arts.
