DUBLIN CANVAS PAINT-A-BOX PROJECT

Dublin Canvas is a new innovative community based art project which offers a range of benefits and opportunities for enhancing the urban environment, increasing the use and enjoyment of public space and building social cohesion through art. The aim of Dublin Canvas is to add colour to the city making Dublin a more beautiful place to live, work and visit.

This stage of the project will be using traffic light control boxes. These boxes, previously designed to go unnoticed will now become canvases for artwork. Dublin Canvas is currently seeking participants for the project which will now consist of a further 60 traffic light control boxes located within the Dublin South East area and Dublin North Central Area.

A BIRD VIEW

PAINT-A-BOX STREET ART

This example of paint-a-box street art by Ingrid Nolan is inspired by Bull Island and some of its inhabitants. The North Bull Island just 10kms northeast from Dublin City Centre. From Clontarf you can walk over on foot via either the wooden bridge or Causeway Road. In case you are concerned the causeway crossing isn’t tidal, so you won’t get stuck on the island.

TRIBUTE TO FREDERICK DOUGLASS

PAINT-A-BOX STREET ART IN CORK

I included this photograph because of the following news item [31 July 2023] "A striking bronze statue of author, anti-slavery campaigner and early champion of women’s rights Frederick Douglass has been unveiled in Belfast city centre." The lifesize statue was created by Scottish figurative sculptors Alan Beattie Herriot and Hector Guest. It is located beside the historic First Presbyterian Church in Rosemary Street where Douglass delivered lectures during his time in Belfast. I plan to photograph this memorial when I next visit Belfast.
