The Solstice Arts Centre is Navan’s premier cultural hub, featuring a 320-seat theatre and world-class art galleries. My goal was to document this €12.5 million facility as an accessible, vibrant destination for both art lovers and casual visitors.

Approach
📸 Photography → Focused on clean lines, panoramic views from the foyer, and the interplay of light in the gallery spaces.
🎥 Video Production → Created content designed to make the center feel like a "magical" but approachable part of daily life.
✍️ Storytelling → Wrote a guide that simplifies the visitor experience, emphasizing that "you don't need a ticket" to enjoy the art.
The project delivered a cohesive set of visuals that highlight Solstice as an "architectural crown jewel." By focusing on both the grand theater and the intimate cafe moments, the content demonstrates how a large institution can engage a local audience through approachable digital storytelling.
