We put out an open call for mural artists in April and got so many fantastic applications. It was very hard to make a selection, and we discussed and debated the artists many times, until we made our final choice.
The standard of all the artists who applied was fantastic, and we’re very excited to share the artists who will be working on their murals.
Dove Street will become an open-air art gallery this summer, filled with beautiful and vibrant art… we’re so thrilled!
