Castlebar - Mayo

Mayo County Council has been collecting art for many years and has now acquired a substantial collection of almost 200 works. The County Council adds to its collection with new acquisitions when the budget is available.

The collection includes paintings, prints, photography, sculpture and mixed-media works, by artists from or living in Mayo, or those who have exhibited in the county. Works are displayed on a permanent basis in publicly accessible venues and in county council buildings around the county.

A selection of artworks from the collection are available for temporary exhibitions and there is also a Schools Exhibition programme. Highlights from the Mayo County Council Collection can viewed in this video.

Culture Night is strategically funded by Mayo County Council and the Arts Council and is supported by Creative Ireland and participating groups and venues in Mayo.  Media Sponsor is Mid-West Radio.
