The Glens Arts Centre was built in 1994 by North Leitrim Glens Development Company as a general purpose meeting and performance space and tourist information hub for North Leitrim. Originally the old Methodist church, built in 1830 and deconsecrated in 1964, the company restored the old building and added self catering apartments and office spaces. In 2001, the company converted the auditorium to a 140 seat theatre.

The Glens Arts Centre has a range of supports and facilities to offer professional and emerging artists including, rehearsal space to develop, workshop, and showcase new theatrical and musical works, and an auditorium in which to present finished works. Recording facilities for live shows, radio plays, and music albums are available, and with professional staff on hand to offer expert services, they are proud to have supported and played a part in the development of a wide range of projects over the years.

The Glens Arts Centre host a wide ranging programme including, the best of contemporary, world, traditional and folk music as well as a feast of theatre, readings, children’s events, Irish language events and cinema.
