Kildare - Newbridge

In July Kildare Arts Service launched their Culture Night Mural Commission award. 

Those in Newbridge may have already spotted the beginnings of the project with pops of colour appearing around the town. It is now possible to observe the developing work of three artists at three separate locations in Newbridge. These new murals promise to add a splash of colour to unexpected places and bring vibrant new public art pieces to the town.

The three recipients of the commission are Paul Woods,  Kildare Art Collective with Holly Pereira and SOLUS.

The murals will be situated at the Kildare County Council Machinery Yard (Paul Woods), George’s Street (SOLUS) and Abbins House, Eyre Street (Holly Periera).

Paul Woods’ mural has been made possible with support from Kildare County Council Climate Action Office. The work of Holly Pereira (Kildare Art Collective) had been created in association with June Fest with support from Chris Pender.
