It’s almost fully demolished, but a new exhibition celebrates Cork’s still-iconic R&H Hall

By Yay Cork April 19, 2024April 30, 2024

Demolition is in its final stages.

But as the R&H Hall building is deleted from the Docklands skyline forever, local artists have found a way to celebrate the iconic structure as it’s replaced with a new sustainable landmark building.

Artists and photographers, both professional and amateur, have joined forces to host an exhibition of work featuring the imposing building which will run at the Marina Market for a month.

Every piece has been donated, with work from Jason O’Gorman, Jean-Francoise (Tropic of Cork) Noel Sweeney, Ciara McSweeney, Leanne Harty, Melaine McGrath, Jillan O’Herlihy, Hilary Quinn, Michael Meade, Darrgah Kane, Brian Mac Domhnaill, OLIVIA Coleman, Fergal Downey and more.

The R&H Hall Gallery is now open at the Marina Market in Ballintemple and you can check it out free of charge.
