This wonderful made video by Rón Maguire highlights how integral The Complex has been for DCAF's growth #SaveTheComplex

Have you written your reps? Please take 5 minutes to do so. €6 million saves The Complex, one of the last remaining arts venues in Dublin and the home of @dublincomicarts.bsky.social !

It’s an obvious easy win, which means we need to drag our government over the line kicking and screaming!

Honestly it’s Not Ideal to have to rework my webshop like this during the Christmas season but #savethecomplex is essential to the stability of Little Deer, @dublincomicarts.bsky.social and the Dublin arts scene in general!

So please take a moment:
