The Temple Bar traders association has created a project where all the traffic signal boxes will be covered with work from various artists. According to this clip on RTE it’s all thanks to people tagging the boxes. So if it wasn’t for graffiti the boxes would still look dull and grey. Most of the art work is shit so I’d love to see the entries that didn’t make the grade. Read more from the traders association here.

Taking place this Saturday in Smithfield. Features live music, art and dance as well as workshops. Various graffiti writers and street artists will be there too. Check it out.
