The Mayor of South Dublin County Council, Cllr. Cathal King was present in County Hall, Tallaght on Wednesday 18^th July to announce the launch of the new ‘Art Trax’ iPhone Application.
Art Trax takes you on a tour of South Dublin County’s rich collection of public art. It maps the locations where permanent artworks can be seen, and the locations where temporary works were presented. You can find information about artists, view artworks, and access film works.

This App provides a complete overview of the public art landscape that has emerged in the county since the first public art commissions in the 1980’s.

Project Manager Blaithín Keegan commented that “the Arts Office are very excited to be able to have this service available to the public. This highlights South Dublin County Council’s continued commitment towards the delivery of high quality customer service to our citizens through the innovative use of technology.”

The ‘Art Trax’ app is free to download from the Apple App Store and will also be available for Android devices in the future.

Art Trax is an initiative by the Arts Office in South Dublin County Council, produced with the support of IT Services South Dublin County Council, commissioned artists & commissioning agencies, with the software developed by AppKickr Ltd.
