Glentoran Community Trust

Mural Project

 

(Mural Updates Here)

 

The Glentoran Community Trust have “acquired” a site on Bright Street off the Newtownards Road, and agreement has been reached to replace an existing mural with a Glentoran Community Trust mural, also celebrating 125 years of Glentoran FC. We think it only fitting that one of the few remaining icons in East Belfast should have a lasting reminder proudly and prominently displayed in the area.

The project is at a fairly advanced stage with draft proposals and funding on the table from the Arts Council/Housing Executive.

 

Details were revealed at the recent GCT Annual General Meeting.

 

The initial draft (below right) has already  been submitted and approved by the relevant funding bodies, but a final design has yet to be confirmed with the artist - himself chosen from a list approved by the Council.

Plans are to incorporate portraits of a 'greatest ever' Glentoran 11, and we are in the process of polling members as to a final shortlist, before putting it to the wider Glentoran community for their final input.

 

Enquiries are also being made  with a view to securing sponsorship for the attached billboard, to coincide with the mural launch date - hopefully some time in the early New Year.

 

Updates on the progress of the Mural will be posted here when available.
