Anti-Littering Mural Final Piece
What is our mural about?
Our mural is made up of two images.
A large bin and a bird.
The bin is to represent the message of
keeping our centre clean and binning
our litter.
The bird painting is filled with images from
Doorly Park and it symbolizes our green environment.
Within the image of the bird we can see
trees, clean water, blues skies, animals, birds and insects.

Sligo CTC Anti-Litter and Graffitti Awareness Project
Anti-Litter and Graffiti Awareness Project
The project has a number of elements.
1. A creative art mural wall piece that draws our student’s attention and awareness to littering. Visual Artist Catherine Fanning is working with the students to develop the imagery, design layout and will assist with the painting of our anti-litter mural. The site for the mural is situated at the rear of the CTC building.
2. A clean up walk around our community centre and local area. The walk area will be focused around the CTC which is situated between Doorly Park and the Sports Complex.
3. Over the duration of the project students will document all aspects of the work. This documentation will form part of our anti-litter awareness blog. Our blog will also display daily anti-litter and graffiti awareness posters designed by the computer students.
4. An anti-litter and graffiti awareness stand in our centre.
Aim of our project
The project aims to educate and build awareness with the assistance of a creative interactive approach. It is during the designing and creation of the mural that the subject and focus on positive anti-litter/graffiti dialogue can take place. Once the mural is completed it will be a permanent and constant anti-litter/graffiti message. Littering is a habit; it has been learnt and can be with positive reinforcement unlearnt. To get across the anti-graffiti message the project will focus students creative flare in a more positive and socially acceptable creative outlet, students will learn to appreciate and value the pursuit of artwork that enhances their surrounding rather than that such as tagging which defaces wall and buildings.
Our project received funding from Sligo County Council and the ALAG Scheme 2016.
