Building Proposal

Put forward by a collective of Dublin independent arts and cultural groups

What does Dublin need?

A space in the heart of the city centre for open community events and creative expression.

We need space for...

Who are we

A diverse collective who ran a space like this for 5 years. We're part of a network of dozens of independent cultural spaces, community groups, artists, organisers, city planners and we know there is a crying need for space like this

How we'll run the space

Creative collaboration and exhibition space Event space Vegan Cafe We will provide the spatial infrastructure for a wide section of Dublin's community inviting them to an engaging open safe and affordable space for them to do their work.

How we'll fund it all

For startup costs we have access to savings, loans and grants. We have a community shares crowdfunding campaign ready to lauch. For running costs we operate on a subscription-membership model and pay-per-use donation model for space users. We intend to be a sustainably self-funded community space from the start.

Our Proposal

We rent the ground floor for 4 months (we're available to start immediately) for creative, cultural, community use for a rent of €1000 per month, with a review (timed for when the planning permission comes through) of all terms and activities to see how to proceed from there. This is our opening offer. Please let us know what points you like or dont - we are happy to negotiate around them. We love the space and can be very flexible to make it happen.

Our Proposal

We hope you like the sound of our project too. Over the past several years we have brought joy, delight and meaningful improvements to the lives of tens of thousands of people here in Dublin - we want to continue this journey bringing the same and more.
