DUN LAOGHAIRE ANSEO STREET ART PROGRAMME

Between 2021 and 2024 Dún Laoghaire Town has seen 30 stunning artworks installed throughout the town as part of the Dún Laoghaire Anseo street art project.

Last year I received the following information:

We’re looking for walls!

If you’ve seen a wall that you think would be perfect for inclusion in our Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Anseo Street Art programme for 2024 we’d love to hear from you.

Since 2021, DLR has seen over thirty artworks installed across the county. Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Anseo will continue this year when we hope to bring more specially created artworks to walls across the county.

We do have a few requirements though, which we’ve listed below – and not every wall will be suitable for painting, for a variety of reasons including access and the condition of the wall.

• It should be located in an area that has a level of commercial activity

• It should provide easy access for the artist

• It must be located in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown
