With a reference to local history and sail making mills, there were a series of painted sails displayed by schoolchildren from St Luke’s National School and Educate Together Secondary School. Artist Jane Hayes worked with St Luke’s National School resulting in 5 decorated sails which were installed across the Douglas Community Park trees. The Educate Together Sail was part of a collaborative project with UCC, and The Glucksman with artists Claire Coughlan and Helen O’Keefe in relation to designing their future city.
