Wicklow Wander Walls
The murals and art works installed around Wicklow Town in 2023 were commissioned by Wicklow Town Team following a successful funding application under the Town & Village Renewal scheme, operated by the Department of Rural & Community Development. Together with Wicklow Municipal District the Town Team recognised the need for placemaking and to revitalise the important links between Main Street and South Quay. Following a public procurement process, The Walls project from Waterford were chosen to work with the Town Team to develop and manage the project. Community workshops were held in the July 2023, following which the theme of Wicklow Maritime Heritage Past & Present was selected to include contemporary style artworks and murals with vibrant bright colours.
