Carlow County Councils Public Art Working Group wish to commission an artist to develop a public art work that marks the life’s work of John Tyndall.

Tyndall was a nineteenth-century climate scientist, educator and mountaineer born in Leighlinbridge, County Carlow. The permanent artistic feature will sensitively represent the pioneering work of John Tyndall in the designated location of his birthplace Leighlinbridge and be sited in close proximity to or in the Garden of Remembrance. Artists should consider the key linkage of John Tyndall to the current climate crisis, and the educational awareness Tyndall introduced to the world.
