About Athlone Art and Heritage

Athlone Art and Heritage Ltd is an initiative of Athlone Town Council set up to manage a number of Art and Heritage sites, facilities and amenities under development in Athlone. These include Abbey Road Artists’ Studios, Athlone Art Gallery, Athlone Castle and The John McCormack Experience.

Athlone Art and Heritage is managed by a board of 14 members, which will include art practitioners, educationalists, local authority members and local businesses.

Athlone Art and Heritage recruited a manager, Miriam Mulrennan in July 2011 who is based in the Civic Centre on Church Street, Athlone. Once Athlone Art Gallery is complete, the company office will move to that location.
