Wexford Arts Centre, Arts center in historic Cornmarket building, County Wexford, Ireland.

Wexford Arts Centre is a neoclassical building with five bays facing John's Gate Street in County Wexford. The ground floor features a market hall layout, while the upper floor contains an assembly room with generous proportions.

Built in 1776 as Wexford Cornmarket, a brick building with a cement render finish designed in the neoclassical style, it replaced open-air corn trading at the west end of Cornmarket on land owned by John Grogan of Johnstown Castle. It became the offices and meeting place of Wexford Corporation in the early 20th century and was known as Wexford Town Hall until the corporation moved to Wexford Courthouse in 1950. It was repurposed as an arts centre in 1974, and a €3 million refurbishment by McKellen Construction to a design by ODKM Architects, adding a new entrance, gallery and workshop space, was completed in October 2022.

The building's name recalls its past: corn was traded in the open at Cornmarket before the exchange opened in 1776, and the first-floor assembly room hosted concerts, theatrical performances and figures such as Percy French. Since 1974 it has operated as an arts centre, with a gallery and workshop space added in the 2022 refurbishment.

The center is open weekdays from 10 AM to 5 PM and Saturdays from 10 AM to 4 PM. The building is centrally located in the town, making it easy to reach on foot with nearby parking available.

American abolitionist Frederick Douglass delivered a speech in the assembly hall to a Quaker audience during his visit in October 1845. This historical event connects the space to an important moment in the movement against slavery.
