OUGHTERARD COURTHOUSE ARTS PROGRAMME
Welcome to the Oughterard Courthouse Arts Programme
Established in 2017, the Oughterard Courthouse Arts Programme presents an annual season of Summer Exhibitions in the restored Oughterard Courthouse. Through a combination of invited projects and open calls, OCAP is committed to showcasing a wide range of contemporary artistic practices, supporting both emerging and established artists.
Our mission is to bring a breadth of visual art to Oughterard and its visitors, while providing a professional platform for artists to exhibit and engage with new audiences. Since its inception, OCAP has established the Courthouse as a recognised venue for cultural activity, working in partnership with artists and extending its reach through local publicity, social media, radio, and an expanding digital presence.
Each summer, the programme contributes to the cultural life of the region, reinforcing the role of the arts in connecting community, place, and creativity.
OCAP is supported by Oughterard Courthouse Conservation and Heritage Company and Galway County Council.
