About RUA RED: RUA RED, South Dublin Art Centre is a dynamic home
for the creation and enjoyment of the arts. Along with partner organisations
and tenants, the centre hosts a programme of events aimed at all
members of the community, locally, nationally and internationally. RUA RED opened
on 5th February 2009 after an investment of almost €10 million in cultural facilities
by South Dublin County Council. The centre is the most recent addition to Tallaght’s
emerging cultural quarter.
About The Faces Exhibition: Artzone has run many small scale student art exhibitions
in community centres, libraries and schools. An exhibition is a fabulous occasion
for the student, parents and teachers alike, to feel the excitement and see their art
exhibited for all to see. It is a showcase for their talent and efforts.
We have long sought to secure a space for a major exhibition. RUA RED is a tremendous
opportunity for us—close to our roots in Rathfarnham. RUA RED offers the
scale and quality of a venue to display the work of our 400+ Senior and Teenage students
in a fabulous setting.
