Exhibitions: Join us on Culture Night to view a major show of works by Academician Una Sealy, Time Lines: Selected Works 2016 – 2026, a solo exhibition by Irish-Trinidadian interdisciplinary artist, Maïa Nunes, Lake Burst, a selection of works by twenty-one artists exploring perception, memory, structure and image-making from different perspectives showing in Cnuasach curated by Sinéad Ní Mhaonaigh PRHA, alongside new works by Fionn McCann, Deconstructing a Mountain, and Adrian Duncan, Buildings from a Novel.
With a broad range of artwork across five different exhibitions by both established and new artists, there will be something to peak everyone’s interest at the RHA!
Performance: Not to be missed – HELD is a poetic vertical dance performance exploring vulnerability, resilience and the experience of finding strength within ourselves by Aerial Cirque.
Suspended between earth and sky, a lone dancer moves across the RHA’s architecture, navigating moments of fragility, surrender and strength. Blending aerial movement with contemporary dance, HELD explores what it means to feel supported and what happens when we must learn to hold ourselves.
Transforming the building itself into a vertical stage, HELD invites audiences to experience the familiar architecture of the RHA from an entirely new perspective.
Following its world premiere at TheatAir International Street Arts Festival in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, HELD comes to the RHA Gallery for Culture Night on Friday, 18 September 2026.
Performances at 6pm and 8:30pm.
Live Portrait Painting: We also invite you to observe a live portrait painting session as exhibiting artist Una Sealy RHA works on a portrait in the main gallery, discussing her process from 6–9pm.
