The Viewing Project - Exhibitions and Theatre

What to Expect

The Viewing Project is a large-scale cultural initiative designed to foster meaningful cross-community connection, dialogue, and reconciliation across Donegal and its border regions. Using theatre, storytelling, music and visual arts as tools, the project creates exhibitions, theatre performances and outdoor spectacles for audiences to engage with. The project was officially launched in February 2026 and continues through autumn 2027, with regular community workshops, collaborations with local organisations, and public exhibitions and performances throughout the period.

Good to Know

This is an ongoing two-year project rather than a single event, with continuous programming throughout 2026 and beyond. Specific exhibitions and performances are regularly announced on An Grianan Theatre’s website and social media channels. The project is funded through the PEACEPLUS programme, reflecting its focus on cross-border peace building and community engagement. Events are held across multiple venues in Donegal and surrounding border regions, so check the website for upcoming activities in your area.

Getting There

Events are held at various venues across County Donegal and border regions. An Grianan Theatre in Letterkenny is the lead venue. Check the project website for specific venue locations and transport information for individual events and exhibitions.
