Calling all Artists - Dublin Canvas is Open for Submissions - Paint a Box

Calling all artists! Dublin Canvas is now open for submissions for 2025. 

This inclusive public art project started in 2015 with aims to make Dublin pretty by painting utility boxes all over the county, from Balbriggan to Killiney.

There are 80 boxes in Dublin City, 15 in Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown and 12 in Fingal and, unlike 2024 when there were no boxes in South Dublin in the artist call, there are 15 in SDCC for 2025.

Dublin Canvas will supply materials such as paints, brushes and €300 to cover travel expenses and food etc. for the day, or they will pay €350 if you supply your own materials.

The call for artists is now live, and closes on Monday 2nd of June 2025.
