Our Galway International Arts Festival and University of Galway Partnership

Galway International Arts Festival has been a cultural highlight for over 40 years, and University of Galway has been proud to serve as the Education Partner for the festival. Reflecting on the successful 2024 Galway International Arts Festival, we continue to cherish our ongoing partnership and the shared successes of past years.

2024's memorable acts included the staging of Samuel Beckett’s Endgame, directed by Garry Hynes and circus spectacular Duckpond starring the renowned Circa ensemble. The Heineken Big Top, located on University of Galway's campus, hosted electrifying performances from Kettama, Kneecap, Jess Glynne, Leftfield, Gavin James, Passenger, Annie Mac, Stewart Copeland and two sold-out shows for The Saw Doctors.

The Galway International Arts Festival has been connecting audiences and artists for over 40 years, and as such, we are proud to be its Education Partner. With a longstanding partnership between the Galway International Arts Festival and University of Galway, this collaboration highlights the strong bond, as well as the synchronicities between the two entities, in their joined commitment to nurturing artistic talent, promoting cultural education, celebrating creativity, and fostering artistic growth.
