This year’s artists and themes have been announced, and excitement is building to see what they will create, and just how they will do it. The line-up is as follows;

Roesia de Verdun by Studio Giftig from the netherlands; Setanta by South African street artist Mister Copy; Joe Biden / An Irish Emigration Story by French artist Creaero; Railway Heritage Blueprint by Irish artist Cormac Dillon and keep an eye out for a bonus mural by returning artist Arthur ‘OnER’.

Town Centre Commercial Manager, Martin McElligott said “Over the past four years we have all witnessed the transformation of Dundalk Town centre and the pivotal role this creative festival has played. Street artists from here at home, and around the world, have embraced stories from Dundalk’s rich history and heritage, and they have worked with us and our vision to reawaken these incredible stories.”

On Saturday 1st of July an array of creative activities, including Spray Painting workshops for children and young people, will take place at Market Square from 11am to 4pm. These workshops are free, but booking is essential www.seekdundalk.ie
