The People of Athlone exhibition was officially launched last Thursday night on the ground floor of Athlone Towncentre as part of the RTÉ All Drama Festival. The event was warmly attended by members of the Athlone Photography Club, many of the volunteer portrait subjects, and members of the local community — all gathered to celebrate the people who give Athlone its unique character.

The evening was opened by Frank Keena, Mayor of Athlone

Athlone Photography Club is proud to present The People of Athlone, a powerful new photography exhibition celebrating the richness, diversity, and character of the town’s people. The exhibition will run from 8th to 17th May 2025 on the ground floor of Athlone Towncentre, with the official launch taking place at 6pm on Thursday, 8th May.
