Survey for proposed N5 Mayo art project

MAYO County Council Arts Service is planning an arts project for the region along the new N5 Westport to Turlough road project.

They are seeking the public's help in creating a profile of their area and community interests, with a survey now underway.

This is your chance to tell them about what your area means to you and what types of creative encounters and experiences you are interested in.

Mayo County Council have commissioned a wide range of public art projects in the past. Artists have worked with communities using a variety of art forms including music, theatre, visual arts, dance, film, literature, photography, multi-media and more.

The survey results will give artists an insight into your area, i’s character and the interests of the community. It will help shape what form the project will take and what type of community engagement will happen.

An artist brief describing the project will be developed and advertised. Interested artists will submit proposals which will be reviewed by an independent selection panel. Mayo Arts Service will manage the project and support the artist/artists selected and encourage community engagement.

Survey answers are anonymous and it can be done at https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=j3lqnmagm02NZTKwjqLDk61q_8hylJBJlv654U0ilD5UNVBWVDMxQkdVVVQ0TFY2SUc1NkhYQjdRSy4u. You can contact publicart@mayococo.ie if you would like the survey in hardcopy form.
