Per Cent for Art – Garreth Joyce Mural Commission
As part of its capital development programme and in recognition of the Per Cent for Art Scheme, Pallas Projects/Studios commissioned artist Garreth Joyce to create a large-scale mural in its main premises at The Coombe, Dublin 8, adjacent to the new Pallas Open Projects facility at Newmarket Yards. The commission celebrates the 30th anniversary of Pallas Projects/Studios (1996–2026), recognising three decades of artist-led cultural activity, the provision of affordable artists' studios and the development of contemporary art in Ireland.
This project has been part-funded by the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport under Project Ireland 2040.
