Meath Canvas – A new callout for submission of artwork for County Meath - Summer/Autumn 2026
Dublin Canvas is a public art project that transforms traffic signal boxes into vibrant works of art, helping to brighten up Dublin and make it a more beautiful place to live, work, and visit. Launched in Summer 2015, we began with our initial goal to 'Colour in the City' - turning the streets of Dublin into a walking gallery of public art. Following the success of that first phase, the project expanded in 2018 to encompass South Dublin, Fingal, and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Councils, extending our ambition to 'Colour in the County'.
Now, as we approach the completion of our thousandth piece, we are excited to take the next step. In partnership with
Meath County Council we are delighted to announce the launch of Meath Canvas, our next step in 'Colouring in the Country'.
Historically, Meath held the status of the fifth ancient province of Ireland. This makes it the next logical step in our journey. Meath Canvas will see eleven traffic signal boxes painted by local artists throughout Summer and Autumn 2026—four in Ashbourne and seven in Navan. These once-neglected grey boxes will be transformed into vibrant works of art, turning traffic junctions into an open-air gallery of public art.
