History
In 2003 Omagh’s Town Hall was demolished to make way for the new Strule Arts Centre Arts. It cost £10.5 million and opened on 8 June 2007, overlooking the River Strule which flows through the town centre. It is part of a wider regeneration project for the High Street, George Street and Riverside area of Omagh. It was designed by architects Kennedy Fitzgerald and Associates and features a footbridge linking the waterfront site to a new college, existing bus station and riverside walk. The centre was officially opened in January 2008 by Edwin Poots, then Minister for Culture, Arts and Leisure, and Margaret Ritchie, Minister for Social Development. The Centre had been partially funded by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland (£4m) and by the Department for Social Development (£3.1m).
Events
Artists appearing at the centre in late 2009 include: Dominic Kirwan, Juliet Turner, Brian Kennedy and the Ulster Orchestra.
