The Complex can still be saved.
The opportunity is still open for the Department of Finance to resolve it by committing the primary tranche of funding towards its purchase. This funding will unlock the remaining budget to allow The Complex in partnership with an Irish developer to convert the building on Arran Street East into a permanent home for The Complex, embracing a 500 capacity venue, a contemporary arts gallery, a 100 seat jazz club to house the Improvised Music Company and 16 artist studios.
The Complex is a client of the Arts Council and Dublin City Council and is renowned for its inclusive and diverse multi-disciplinary programme of work in a space that is not replicated elsewhere in the city.
There is time to save it and ensure that this vital part of cultural infrastructure is not lost.
