T?his month’s cover was inspired by the lack of accessible creative spaces in Dublin, and the decline of small retail in the city.
As an artist, it’s sad to see a city so well-known for the arts struggle to support its own creative community, and to see beloved businesses such as Waltons music shop on George’s Street move out of town. With better city council planning, maybe we could use all the disused spaces in town more effectively.
