Open Call for a temporary Public Art Commission for Dolphin House
Dublin City Council is delighted to announce an open call for a temporary Public Art Commission for Dolphin House. This is the first of 3 mini temporary Public Art Commissions which are part of a wider programme of work, culminating in a larger scale public artwork that will be commissioned in 2027.
Since September 2025, DCC, through its Arts office, has been working with Create, The National Development Agency for Collaborative Arts and artist Evelyn Broderick and the community of Dolphin House on a Public Art programme which places the community at the heart of the Public Art Commissioning Process.
The local community has participated in weekly workshops and discussions about the Public Art Commissioning Process, led by Evelyn Broderick. These workshops raised local awareness of the nature and benefits of contemporary public art and how the community can have ownership and leadership within the commissioning process. Crucially, this deep engagement allowed for the interests and ideas of local communities to be heard and to learn how the community identify themselves and their neighbourhood. This active research directly feeds into the artist brief, with the local community providing the following information which should guide the artist as they develop their proposal.
For more information, please download the artist brief below.
Closing date for submissions: April 10th @ 5pm
