Dublin Canvas returns to Fingal this summer!
Are you an artist or a community group who would like to get involved with Dublin Canvas?
Dublin Canvas is a public art project that brings flashes of colour and creativity around Fingal every year! It uses everyday objects which previously go unnoticed - traffic light control boxes – as canvases for new artworks. Dublin Canvas is now seeking submissions of artwork for a range of boxes located throughout the Fingal County Council area for 2026
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.
The opportunity is open to Artists, creatives and community groups who wish to participate and paint one of this Summer’s available boxes. Applicants are asked to carefully read the guidelines below on how to enter and then forward on their correctly prepared submissions to [email protected]
- Callout Commences – Monday 4th May 2026
- Submission Deadline – Wednesday 10th June 2026
- Selection process – Thursday 11th June – Tuesday 30th June 2026
