Visitors and residents can enjoy a public art display in Dublin while meeting social distancing guidelines through Labor Day.
The project, a collaboration between Dublin Arts Council and the Dublin Convention & Visitors Bureau, showcases a total of eight, 6-foot-long decals that have been affixed to sidewalks in Historic Dublin, the Bridge Park development and on the east and west sides of the Dublin Link pedestrian bridge.
The project is a component of an initiative to promote health and safety in Dublin. Walkers can enjoy the gallery while staying three paintings apart. The photos represent artworks in varied mediums and subject matter many of which have ties to Ohio people and places.
