Riverbank Arts Centre

Riverbank Monument Riverbank is Kildare County Council's Cultural Campus, built to provide better library and arts facilities for the people of County Kildare and to mark the turning of the Millennium.

The centre is designed, above all else, to be used by the people of the county. The hope is that the people of County Kildare will regard it as the natural home for their artistic work and development and especially as a place where they can enjoy themselves. The centre has an extensive library and heritage facilities which are open for full use by the public.

The Riverbank Arts Centre stands poised to have a dramatic impact on the cultural life of the community by acting as the heart of arts provision in County Kildare. In its role as an arts advocate and promoter, the centre will use its professional facilities to provide a venue for performances, exhibitions and events, while using its professional staff to facilitate collaboration and creative parnerships between arts organisations, the community and other public service providers.
