Art in the public realm
Goal
Animate our city centre and our neighbourhoods with art that reflects and celebrates who we are.
Outcome 3.1
Perceptions of public art have been transformed though the quality, inventiveness and range of Cork City’s commissioned projects.
Action
Commissioned and produced Island City - Cork’s Urban Sculpture Trail, a trail of five contemporary sculptures in the city centre island. The largest single investment in public art in Cork city to date. Funded by Fáilte Ireland under Urban Animation Scheme. Launched December 2023.
