The mural is inspired by the people, culture, heritage, new communities and natural hinterland landscapes of Rathdowney, as well as creative imagination and artistic license.<\/p>\n<p>This mural artwork is part of a series of murals planned for Laois. In 2019 ADW&#8217;s mural for Cruinni\u00fa na n\u00d3g Laois garnered local and national attention and was inspired by the 1992 Irish film \u2018Into the West\u2019 where some of the film&#8217;s iconic scenes where shot at the Savoy cinema in Portarlington. The mural has not just visually reanimated the old cinema but has becoming a talking point with local recollections and a new sense of pride in one of Portarlington&#8217;s landmark buildings.<\/p>\n<p>The artwork is commissioned by Laois Arts Office in consultation with members of Rathdowney community and in association with The Walls Project, a creative arts agency who specialise in the delivery of large-scale public and private commissioned artwork across Ireland and Europe. Special thanks to Cllr John King, Clodagh Kennedy (Art\/CSPE\/SPHE teacher at St Fergal&#8217;s College), Rev Richard Seymour-Whiteley, and Howard Coburn (Flynn&#8217;s Medical Hall) for their enthusiasm and contribution in realising this project.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":16181,"template":"","class_list":["post-16180","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Mural Artwork in Rathdowney - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A new mural artwork celebrating the people and spirit of Rathdowney is designed and created by Portarlington based artist ADW.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/mural-artwork-in-rathdowney\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Mural Artwork in Rathdowney - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A new mural artwork celebrating the people and spirit of Rathdowney is designed and created by Portarlington based artist ADW.
