Galway Cultural Development and Activity CLG

Galway Cultural Development and Activity Company Limited By Guarantee is the not-for-profit body that steered Galway's successful bid as the 2020 European Capital of Culture. Working in partnership with local artists, cultural organisations and the wider community, the company curates and delivers a diverse programme of events, from large-scale productions such as Macnas's "Gilgamesh" to specialist workshops and EU-Japan networking sessions.

A core part of its remit is to capture audience insight - the organisation regularly invites visitors to share their experiences through short e-surveys, offering participants a chance to win vouchers while helping shape future cultural offerings. Through its "Legacy", "Wave Makers" and "Opportunities" initiatives, the company also focuses on long-term impact, ensuring that the creative momentum generated in 2020 continues to benefit Galway's cultural landscape for years to come.

By fostering collaboration, encouraging public participation and championing innovative programming, Galway Cultural Development and Activity Company plays a pivotal role in nurturing the city's vibrant arts scene and supporting its cultural partners.
