Your Chance to Comment on Ancient Connections Art Projects
Five artists have been shortlisted for the €175,000 St Davids and Ferns Public Art Commission to create two new pieces of public art, one for St Davids, Pembrokeshire, and one for Ferns, Wexford. The two pieces of artwork should be linked to one another and help tell the stories of connection between these two ancient regions. The artwork in St Davids will be installed in the grounds of St Davids Cathedral. In Ferns, the location is yet to be decided.
The public’s views are wanted on the five proposed designs. You can see the artists’ proposals online and take part in the online consultation. Your responses will contribute to the artists’ final scores and your comments will be reviewed by the evaluation panel.
You can also view the proposals in a physical form in the St Davids Room at Oriel Y Parc until 1 June and then afterwards complete the online consultation.
