A new mural has been completed in Monkstown, the collaborative work of local and professional artists.
The majestic mural is in the ‘Cut-and-Cover’ Tunnel in Monkstown, where the iconic underpass has been upgraded with colour and imagery, in an homage to the town’s rail, industrial and maritime heritage.
The project was commissioned by Cork County Council and completed by artists from ‘The Walls Project’, who have experience in delivering large-scale, impactful murals that aim to improve community spaces through artistic expression.
