The new Urban Dance Zone in Solitude Park Banbridge

The designs were based on the theme of 'music through the ages' and featured heavy stencil work, lettering and characters created by the groups. Now installed, they form the back panels of a youth shelter which features built-in speakers where anyone can access their music remotely through a text number. This is then relayed through the speakers. By involving the young people at every stage of design and creation, it gives them ownership of the area and provides a facility for an age-group, who historically, hadn't been engaged by the council. Indeed this is the first time that anything like this has been done in Northern Ireland to my knowledge.
