Joe Moynihan of Tralee Tidy Towns with Jean Foley, Tralee MD officer and Colm Nagle, Tralee MD engineer, launching the new mural initiative.
MURALS are to be installed in strategic locations around Tralee town centre after funding was secured for Tralee Tidy Towns through Creative Ireland.
A call out has been issued to artists to apply to paint the murals. Artists may apply as individuals, or as a group of artists submitting collaborative proposals.
“The power of public art to transform a community is undeniable,” said Joe Moynihan of Tralee Tidy Towns. “We hope to ignite conversation, foster community respect and create an atmosphere that is warm and inviting and I would encourage artists to get involved.”

Artists will be selected based on artistic design, craftsmanship, quality of design and how well the design reflects the stated theme of each mural.
