Sign this petition to show we care about cultural spaces!

Dublin is running out of places to gather, create, and celebrate.

Now The Complex an arts space that is home to exhibitions, gigs, sober raves, storytelling events, over-the-top wrestling, and even an early Fontaines D.C. show is being forced out on 14 January 2026.

It’s one of the last large independent event spaces we have left.

And its eviction comes after more than a decade of losses:

Jigsaw, Block T, Mambos,the Tivoli Theatre, Hangar, OG Bernard Shaw and many others.

Each time a space disappears, so does a community. Dublin doesn’t just have a housing crisis it also has a culture crisis.

We’re losing the places where art happens, where new scenes form, where people come together....

Why is this important?

We need to save cultural spaces from closing down.
Without action we will lose all these spaces in Dublin.

How it will be delivered

Digital and by hand

Dublin, Ireland

Hello all, it's important to share this with any friends to get as much traction as possible. Broader media like RTE or Virgin will cover this too if we can get as many signatures as possible.
