Cnoc Buí community arts centre for visual and performance art in Union Hall, West Cork


About Cnoc Buí
Cnoc BuÍ Community Arts Centre was established in 2023 as a volunteer-led, community-based organisation devoted to the promotion of the arts, and particularly the visual arts.
It is also a facility where a range of local community groups can meet and organise events related to culture, history, heritage and the environment. It provides an important venue attracting visitors from the region, as well as drawing national and international visitors to Union Hall.
From March to October each year a series of exhibitions are hosted in the 1800 sq ft of renovated space, providing artists largely based in West Cork with a low cost venue to display and sell their work. Currently fourteen local groups use the centre to hold regular meetings or periodic cultural and fundraising events.
Cnoc Bui Community Arts Center CLG has been established as a company, and our application for charitable status is under review by the Charities regulator. Our governance structure is in place, and we are currently able to meet our recurrent costs from a small income generated by exhibitions, and lots of support from the community.
Cnoc Buí provides a centre within which there is a focus on arts, culture and heritage. In this, it serves artists, cultural advocates and the general public. It also provides a venue that promotes community participation, inclusion, and community development.
Cnoc Buí will enrich its local community and region by bringing people together to celebrate the arts, and particularly the visual arts. It will promote local and regional culture and heritage and cultivate social, recreational, and educational activities relevant to the arts.
