Axis turns 25!

A messge from Axis Director, Sorcha Keane

This year marks 25 years since Axis first opened its doors. In 2001, the Ballymun community worked together to advocate for an arts and community centre right at the heart of Ballymun. Axis wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for the vision, passion, hard work and dedication of those community members and artists, and everyone who has come through our doors since 2001.

Axis is many things to many people. It’s the kids in our creche, the artists performing on our stage, and the people stopping for a cuppa & chat. It’s the parents collecting their kids from ballet classes, the audiences arriving for a show in the theatre. It’s a great night out; it’s a safe welcoming space; it’s a place to be creative, it’s a hub of community. Whether you’re a 4 year old seeing a play for the first time, or a 64 year old performing with the THREADS dance troupe for the 14th time - Axis is for you!

We hope you’ll join us in celebrating 25 years of Axis - we’ll be announcing anniversary events throughout the year. Keep an eye on this space and our socials, or drop in to us to find out what’s going on. Here’s to the next 25 years of Axis Ballymun - bígí linn!
