Having finally recovered from the flash floods and icy weather now synonomous with a Cork Christmas & New Years, The Space has once again opened it's doors on the top floor of 7 South Mall with a new exhibition and would like to begin by extending an open invitation to the public and a huge thank you to everyone who attended the launch party for this month's Space project: The Boon Tea Room.
We received an overwhelming response to this January's open call and would like to thank all applicants for their interest and support in the show.

The Launch night featured battery operated trad experiment The Shmell, Corks finest guerrilla open mic regulars and a live acoustic set by Seamus O' Connor against a backdrop of snugs, chats and tea.
The show will be open to the public from Tuesday to Saturday between 11.30am and 5.30pm until the 30th of January and will host a series of events including, film screenings, artists talks, workshops, performances, poetry and much more. Details will be announced soon but join the mailing list above and check the blog regularly for details and updates on month's line-up.
