glór Dance, music, theatre, film, visual arts, comedy and more in the heart of Ennis.

In addition to hosting local, nati

onal and international events (music, theatre, talks, festivals, dance, film, comedy, and visual arts), we also provide a welcoming space for community groups, families, and vulnerable members of society to meet and access the arts. In 2022 we celebrated 21 years in operation presenting over 300 performances and 9 visual arts exhibitions from local, national, and international artists as well as over 55 community groups. We endeavour to remove hindrances that prevent people from accessing the arts, support Clare artists so they can continue to create artistic works, and provide a space for community groups to meet.IN 2019, GASP (glór Arts for Schools Programme) helps over 1800 schoolchildren annually access the arts by reducing some of the financial obstacles in attending daytime performances at glór through subsidising tickets and transportation costs. We also run programmes that provide financial and creative support to artists in Clare – glór Associate Artists, Artists' Residencies, Bursaries, development space and times, commissions and and co-productions of work.

glór & Graphic Studio present
Looking Straight Ahead: Tony O’Malley, Felim Egan, Helen O’Sullivan & Alastair Keady

The title for this exhibition is borrowed from a line in Seamus Heaney’s poem, Field of Vision and the work featured uses large areas of flat colour to evoke mood and space.
Felim Egan’s bold planes, Helen O’Sullivan and Alastair Keady’s tonal layers, and Tony O’Malley’s rhythmic flows all draw on this, prioritising sensory impact over depiction.

🎨 With lots of bold colour, soft muted palettes and sculptural forms this exhibition from members of is full of striking contrasts and is well worth a visit.

glór gallery is open from 10am - 3pm Monday to Saturday.

This Friday, get your glam on and enjoy a night of unmissble fun with the one and only THISISPOPBABY! 🤩

💘THISISPOPBABY presents 0800 Cupid💘 Fri 26 June | 8pm
The Guardian – ★★★★★
“Feverish, fantastical soup of pop-star glam”

0800 CUPID is a genre-defying q***r countercultural opus from THISISPOPBABY that fizzes between cabaret performance and reality. It’s set as a nightlife gatecrash and brings the most wonderful raucous cabaret and musical extravaganza back to the Irish stage this summer after its sell-out premiere in 2024 where it was a big hit at Dublin Theatre Festival.

The Arts Review – Five Stars ★★★★★
“A talent this big can’t possibly be contained. Dineen is simply phenomenal”

Through her drag persona, crumbling club-kid ‘Cupid’, Emer Dineen grapples with love in a lonely capitalist paradigm. Hungover, moulting and disorientated, our redundant deity battles modern life, unravelling Emer’s true story of navigating loss, crises, chaotic relationships and feeling the sweet sting of meaningful connection where she least expects it.
