Work continues on Una
Bhan mural
Preparatory work is
presently ongoing in relation to the gable end mural of Una Bhan on Quarry Lane
in Boyle. An additional, smaller mural is being undertaken further down the
Lane. The project is being led by well-known artist ‘Friz’ who works in both
traditional and digital mediums, focusing on spray painting. A number of local
groups are assisting Friz with the project. The Street art project was one of
the eight point plans announced by Boyle Town Team following the town’s win in
the Enterprising Town’s competition. If this project is deemed a success, the
Town Team will look to extend it to other areas of Boyle. Parking restrictions
are currently in place on Quarry Lane and the public are asked please adhere to
them. Special thanks to Brian and Jacqueline Kelly and Sean Carroll for their
cooperation in facilitating the project. Thanks also to Roscommon Co Co, Linda
Shevlin Roscommon Arts Office and Linda Sice Roscommon Integrated Development
Company along with the members of Boyle Town Team who have made the project
possible. (And wait until you see the great use Friz makes of the chimney on
the wall!)
