Cork is richly provided for in the fields of academic training and education for classical music, visual arts, theatre performance, photography, dance, singing, film making, musical composition etc. Where the city is weak is in the areas of studio space, rehearsal space, and especially space for emerging art forms and activities that celebrate the city's multi-cultural population.

By providing space for all of the above, Camden Palace Hotel Community Arts Centre supports emerging talent, and people who benefit from the collaborative atmosphere of a centre that heaves with creative talent.​
