‘A Per Cent for Art’ Commission has been awarded to two Cork based textile artists as part of the reopening of Douglas Library. Artists Carmel Creaner and Anne Kiely were awarded the commission by Cork City Libraries and Cork City Council Arts Office. Their proposal takes its inspiration from the historic textile industry of the Douglas and includes a strong community engagement element as its basis.
Carmel Creaner and Anne Kiely will engage with the community by reaching out across the generations through schools and nursing homes to discover the importance of the industry to the area in the past. The finished product, a textile wall hanging, will be installed in March 2021.
