Howth Junction and Donaghmede Station transformed by new street art

A major community-developed art installation has been completed at the north Dublin station of Howth Junction and Donaghmede.

Five major new artworks were created by a group of young people from the area through Trinity Youth Services, and which have captivated station customers as they have progressed under the guidance of artists.

The creative and educational collaboration between Trinity Youth Services, Iarnród Éireann, public art consultancy Fresco and their network of artists promotes themes identified by the youths participating, including:
• the local community, past and present
• Love of family
• Local biodiversity and activities
• The importance of positivity and belief in what you can achieve.

Trinity Youth and Iarnród Eireann, with the assistance of artists Artur Oner and Arububu held workshops with young people from the local area to discuss their ideas and thoughts. A total of 15 young people, ranging in age from 10 to 16 years have worked on the project from first discussions, concept ideas and planning, to creation and site works.
