Dublin Canvas applications open as artists urged to apply

This is an exciting opportunity for artists.

Dublin Canvas is a public art project intended to bring flashes of colour and creativity to everyday objects and utilises traffic light control boxes.

These boxes previously designed to go unnoticed will now become canvases for artwork.

Dublin Canvas is now seeking submissions of artwork for a range of boxes located throughout the Fingal County Council area for 2024.

This is a fantastic opportunity to have your artwork displayed to the public in prime locations.

Completed artwork will brighten up and turn these once dull, heavily tagged boxes into beautiful works of art, transforming each area into a walking gallery of public art.

Lead participants will be provided a small fee and materials to complete the work to the required standards.
