When graphic designer and local billboard magnate Al Dalton issued a call out for a mystery project on Instagram earlier this week, the city's arts community went quietly abuzz.
Throughout the course of the lockdown, his Notes to Cork agency has used its some 200 billboard sites, dotted around the city and suburbs, to help foster community and care at a time when business from mainstream advertisers went quiet. The agency has worked/ working with the likes of RedFM, the Crawford Art Gallery and Cork Midsummer Festival to create walking trails and public art campaigns, in an intriguing new use of the former Poster Displays Cork slates.
