Camden Palace arts group pleads with Cork council to help find new home
The board of directors of Camden Palace Hotel Community Arts Centre, which was forced to vacate its second temporary base in just over a year last Friday, said while the city risks “losing a valuable resource”, it is still not too late for City Hall to allow it use one of its vacant buildings, with the Butter Exchange in Shandon top of the wish-list.
In an open letter to city officials, the directors said: “This was a collective of artists that stood for independence, community spirit, and, above all, creativity. The artists will disperse. Some have already left Cork, some have even left Ireland.
