Plant It, Paint It: Pump Lane creative weekend

This project is a community-led creative event in Galway’s Westend that combines street art, urban greenery, and climate action. Over a weekend, artists will transform the walls of Pump Lane with site-specific murals that reflect the area’s identity, while community workshops will invite people of all ages to take part in sustainable planting initiatives. These hands-on activities aim to promote environmental awareness while improving the visual appeal and biodiversity of the space.

Set in a safe, accessible, traffic-free outdoor environment, the event will encourage interaction between residents, visitors, artists, and local businesses, fostering a sense of connection and community pride. By blending creative placemaking with climate-conscious design, the project seeks to revitalise an underused laneway, increase footfall, support local businesses, and enhance the Westend’s cultural and tourist appeal. Through collaboration with stakeholders, it also aligns with wider goals of urban regeneration and public space improvement, leaving a lasting environmental and artistic legacy.

Please note that the details of events listed above are provided by the relevant Local Authorities.
