RUA change of location for drop in

The venue for delivering artwork to the RUA Annual Exhibition in Belfast on Sunday 22 August has changed from the Northern Bank to River House. This will also be the location of the RUA office from Tuesday 17 August.



While the main entrance to River House is on 48 High St, on Sun 22 August we will be using the back entrance on Waring Street only (10am – 4pm). To gain access you will need to go through the building carpark, the entrance to which is directly across the road from the Premier Inn Hotel and on the left of the RUA’s former office (or old War Memorial Building). We will have signage in place so you will know you are at the right location. There will be limited car parking available for the purpose of delivery only (see attached map).



When you enter the building you will see a service lift to your left which you will need to take to the 12th Floor to deliver your work. The door to the lift measures 203cm(h) x 90 cm(w). Internally the lift measures 210cm(h) x 138cm(w) x 216cm(d) and has a weight capacity of 1600kg. If your work is larger than the lift dimensions please call the RUA mobile on 07725316583 to make alternative arrangements.



To prevent long delays we would ask submitting artists to deliver their work during the following time slots (based on your surname) where at all possible:

A-D 10am – 11am

E-K 11am – 12.30pm

L-Q 12.30pm – 2.30pm

R-Z 2.30pm – 4pm



If you are in touch with other artists submitting to the RUA Annual exhibition (Belfast delivery venue) in the coming days I would appreciate if you could make sure they know the new arrangements.



Please note that during our relocation our landline will be out of order until after the 24 August. If you need to phone the office in the interim please call our mobile number which is 07725316583.



Finally – don’t forget to remove all hanging attachments form your work before delivery on hand-in day.
