Highlanes Gallery



The Highlanes Gallery opened its doors in 2006

Highlanes Municipal Art Gallery was the culmination of many years planning to deliver a dedicated visual art space for the Irish north east region, of an international standard in terms of design, management, environmental control and security.

The gallery is sited in the former Drogheda Franciscan Church and part of the Friary; known locally as the ‘High Lane Church’. The Franciscans gifted the property to the people of Drogheda when they ended their 760 year association with the town in 2000. The buildings date from the early 19th century, though elements date back to earlier times and include the former Franciscan burial crypts. The main exhibition spaces are open plan and include the old Church level and a new floor at the height of the old balcony and as such, the character of the building is not lost.

Groups:

Highlanes Gallery welcomes visits from groups. In order to make your visit as pleasant as possible we ask that all groups book in advance, in that way we can arrange a customised guide and facilitate any catering requests. For schools, we can arrange a talk on the collection or temporary exhibition plus an insight into how galleries are managed from the planning of an exhibition to environmental monitoring. Tours are free but donations are welcome.
