In response to the area\u2019s lack of natural resources, a Magical Woods theme is proposed for the mural (see attached rough sketch). If funding is granted the artist will include local landmarks such as blackberry bushes, referencing the area\u2019s traditional name, Blackberry Fields. The final design will be subject to approval by the City and County Librarian.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":40617,"template":"","class_list":["post-40615","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>A Mural for Carrickphierish Library - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Carrickphierish Library has previously benefited from Creative Ireland artwork, Restoration by Denise McAuliffe, which generated strong engagement from adults and children in the community, highlighting the appetite for further creative activity.\" \/>\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\/a-mural-for-carrickphierish-library\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"A Mural for Carrickphierish Library - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Carrickphierish Library has previously benefited from Creative Ireland artwork, Restoration by Denise McAuliffe, which generated strong engagement from adults and children in the community, highlighting the appetite for further creative activity.
