URBAN EXPRESSION IN NEWBRIDGE
There seems to be limited street art easily visible in Newbridge compared to other towns. However, there's evidence suggesting a recent surge in street art activity, particularly in the summer of 2023.
Recent street art additions:
George's Lane: The artwork in this photograph was likely part of this initiative. After some research I can confirm that this is by Holly Pereira and it could be described as being on Eyre Street.
Eyre Street: Murals by Holly Pereira and others were created here. I will visit again as I did not explore this street.
Military Road: Paul Woods contributed a mural on the Council Machinery Yard Wall.
Reasons for limited visibility:
New initiatives: The recent projects indicate a budding street art scene, so it may take time for more works to appear and gain visibility.
Location: Some murals might be in less prominent locations, making them harder to discover without specifically seeking them out.
Temporary nature: Street art can be ephemeral, with works painted over or removed over time.
