South Dublin County Council invite artists to submit proposals for commissions in the District Centre Enhancement Programme at locations: Rosemount Shopping Centre (Rathfarnham) and Castletymon Centre (Tallaght).

The council invite expressions of interest from artists with experience of community collaboration, for the commissioning of artworks that creatively explore public spaces. The outcomes of the public art commissions may take the form of street art, art installation or event. A willingness to enter into a working partnership with the community and key stakeholders in the process of creating the commission is a core consideration in this brief.

Led by South Dublin County Council Roads Services, the programme will celebrate the importance of the District Centres and will involve ten commissions in total.
