Murals for Communities sees six mural artists facilitate workshops with community and businesses groups, resulting in artwork across three cities-Waterford, Heerlen in the Netherlands and Kaunas in Lithuania.
The chosen community groups from Waterford who will take part this year are Killure Bridge Nursing Home, Vita Community Hub which is part of the Rehab Group, and the Aiseirí Addiction Treatment Centre. One of Ireland's best known street artists Aches will be the Irish representative and he'll work remotely with the community groups.
