Pat Allen was a very special part of Cork City. Arriving at protests
in outlandish costumes, he became well known in the city for
illustrating in a special way the uniqueness of this creative city.

The exhibition is a celebration of the life and times of Pat Allen
(1953-2010). It will feature studio photographs of Pat in various
costumes as taken this past summer by NY portrait photographer Doug
DuBois . Pat's numerous costumes and other effects will be on display
as well as a collection of photos and press clippings collected from
Pats friends and protesting allies. To this end, we invite these
people to submit any photos, press clippings, artwork, etc. they may
have of Pat for possible inclusion in the exhibition. Any submissions
can be brought to the 1st floor office in Camden Palace Hotel before
the end of January (we will still take submissions during the
exhibition as well).

Please come out at 7PM 2nd of February to celebrate the life of Corks'
most famous and colourful protester, Pat "The Picket" Allen
