Bailieborough Creative Hub: New Mural on the Shercock Road: The idea for our mural project ‘Where Past and Present Converge’ was conceived as part of the Town Regeneration plan. We collaborated with Bailieborough Heritage Society and Nomad Coffee, then engaged Steve O’Donnell, creative director from ‘All Out’ to create a ‘first of its kind’ mural for Bailieborough. Steve took our ideas and designed this stunning mural that encompasses Bailieboroughs’ unique history and environment. Over three days he transformed the building. By enhancing the streetscape, we hope it will lead the way, in showing the potential for future development of the town.
This mural is a positive feature that locals can be proud of and will have a feel good factor and a sense of wellbeing for Bailieborough. We are delighted with the finished mural …. remember Think it! Create it! Share it!
