Garter Lane Arts Centre

Garter Lane Arts Centre is an arts centre and theatre with studio spaces and exhibition spaces located on O'Connell St, Waterford City, Ireland. It was opened in 1984 by Niall Tóibín at 5 O'Connell St. A former Georgian house formerly owned by prominent Quaker Merchant Samuel Barker, the building has also served in the past as a Social Welfare office and a library.

As the Garter Lane Arts Centre it looks to fulfill the artistic needs of the south east. The Centre welcomes over 35,000 visitors annually over both of its buildings.

Garter Lane recently celebrated its 40th Anniversary in 2024 under its current director Síle Penkert, launched with Minister. Malcolm Noonan.

Garter Lane now has two buildings. Garter Lane Arts Centre (22 O'Connell St) , and Garter Lane studios (5 O'Connell St).
