In 1997 the government decided to include in the budget of publicly funded buildings an addition allowance for an art project. As part of the process we formed a sub-committee which included Board of Management members/parents, teachers, two practicing artists and an arts co-ordinator. Artists were invited to submit a portfolio of their work and a short-list was drawn up. It was decided that artists, Maree Hensey and Mark Ryan would be commissioned to create an art piece for our school. This was installed on Saturday last (Sept 26th).
