Artwork description:

This piece depicts the ever-changing GALA building that was built in Ballyfermot in the 40s opening its doors as The Gala Cinema in 1955. The building shell remains, but the façade and purpose have varied considerably over the years, resting today as a ‘Home Savers’. I wanted to bring everyone’s mind back to when The Gala was the place to be, and to all the memories and fondness people reserve for it to this day.
