EASTWAY WALL ART PROJECT

3D Fun: Quirky images inspired by community engagement
as ‘knee-high fun art’: Pictures of the launch of the Eastway Wall Art Project in Derry - A re-imaging communities programme funded by the Arts Council.

The £48,000 ‘Eastway Wall Art Project’ brought together professional artists, with members of the community. The ceramics and panels replaced a dilapidated 150m wall, overgrown and covered in graffiti.

The local artist, Tom Agnew, said: "The ceramic murals are an attempt to reflect the strong sense of community identity while at the same time meeting my creative needs."

Conal McFeely, of Creggan Enterprises, described it as "an exciting expression of a sense of place and a celebration of the talent and skills of a creative community".
