As part of its continued growth as an organisation, the team at Ardán is relocating its headquarters from the CREW Hub on Wellpark Road into Galway city centre. Ardán is a film, TV, games, and animation organisation based in Galway that supports the creative screen industries across the West of Ireland and throughout the country.

Galway and the West of Ireland continue to play a key role in Ireland’s local, national, and international impact as an island of artistic and cultural renown, and Ardán is proud to play its part in supporting creative screen talent in film, TV, games, and animation, through our funding and bursaries, training and mentorship, and events and networking opportunities.

“There are ideas sitting in sheds and notebooks all over the West of Ireland,” says Kathryn Reynolds of Ardán. “We exist to make sure those stories find their way to the screen.”

In the hub of Galway’s creative quarter, within the CREW Enterprise and Innovation Hub, Ardán is quietly transforming the landscape of the Irish audio-visual industry. Its name — the Irish for stage or platform — perfectly captures its purpose: to lift up creative voices and give them a place to be heard.
