Rua Red

The Board and Staff of Rua Red have been on a two-year, strategy making journey and we are delighted to share that we have launched our Strategic Plan for 2026—2032.

Rua Red is more than just a building; it is a living, breathing, evolving space rooted in our community, shaped by the people and this place. This strategic plan is a crucial step in articulating the vision and values that have guided us so far while setting out a bold and ambitious direction for the years ahead. Rua Red’s strategy frames our role as a relevant, relatable and radical contemporary arts centre that is directly informed by its location in Tallaght and its position as being an integral part of the wider cultural infrastructure in South Dublin County.

Relevant, Relatable, Radical Strategy 2026—2032 is available to view in print and online.

We're in the process of compiling a database of artists and creatives who form an important part of South Dublin County's vibrant arts scene. The network is free to join, and is for any practising creative across one or more artistic disciplines over the age of 18, full-time or otherwise, regardless of your background. Our only criterion is that you must be based in or working in South Dublin County (a bonus if you are interested in meeting and potentially collaborating with and networking with artists from diverse backgrounds). Through this, we aim to create space for artists to further engage with their careers, offering opportunities to develop their network and explore collaborations.
