Paint a Box
Dublin Canvas is an inclusive public art project. The project is open to anyone over the age of 18. If you can pick up a brush and paint, we want you to submit an entry. All you need to do is submit an idea and if selected be willing to give up the amount of time it will take you to paint the box. Interested artists and community groups should carefully read below guidelines and criteria and submit their artwork on time and in the correct format to info@dublincanvas.com
