Clear Channel has donated 10 bus shelter ad spaces to talented artists working in Lucan and Clondalkin

Clear Channel has donated 10 bus shelter ad spaces to talented artists working in Lucan and Clondalkin. Young artists who worked with professional artist Jessica Tobin via the online space of NOISE South Dublin (http://www.noisesouthdublin.com/) will get to showcase their work, which focuses on social issues of importance to young people, this August throughout Dublin. Issues covered in the poster project, entitled Listen to the NOISE discourage stereotyping, alcohol abuse, and following the crowd.
The artwork will appear on bus shelter ad spaces from August 10th through the 23rd. Via workshop sessions in real time and on the space of the NOISE South Dublin website, young people discussed social issues that mattered to them. They then looked at literature, poetry, song writing and visual art that touched a chord with their particular social issue. By examining both writing as well as visual imagery that sparked ideas, the young artists then designed their posters. Clear Channel supported the idea of exhibiting the artwork after seeing some of the poster designs in their initial stages.
The announcement of which posters will appear throughout Dublin was made on Friday, July 31st at a DVD Launch Party event which celebrates work created on NOISE South Dublin since its launch on October 28th 2008. The DVD called NOISE Soundation also celebrates work created by young people in the Soundation, a digital media and music group within Lucan Youth Centre in Lucan/North Kildare Youth Service.
