artists, craftworkers and writers settling in the rolling hills around the
village and landscape of Roaringwater Bay. The focus was The Flower
House on the main street of the village, which became a gallery, shop
and meeting place for the influx of artists The Ballydehob Arts Museum
was set up in 2018 to celebrate the work of the artists’ community, and
to establish a museum collection and documentary archive of the arts,

Douglas Street, Cork City
June - July
The mobile bicycle parklet on Douglas St is a space for people
to sit, relax and linger. As an amenity combining elements of
seating, planting, bike parking, it offers an alternative experience
of the city and the street. It is an open and public space, that
invites residents and passers-by to interact socially, and to
foster a sense of place, community and environment.
This parklet is moveable and can be relocated to different areas
in the city centre. It is hoped that it will enhance whatever public
space it is placed in, bringing a pop of natural materials, green
planting and vibrant artwork to what might otherwise be a concrete, overlooked or neglected space.
