Polestar – New Public Artwork in Letterkenny
Visitors to Letterkenny from this week, in particular those coming for the 2006 Fleadh Cheoil which is just getting underway, will be greeted by a new site when they come into the town.
The photo above shows the “Polestar” which has just been erected at the Port Bridge Roundabout (near the Mount Errigal Hotel, on the main approach road from Dublin, Derry, Belfast and Sligo directions). The sculpture is causing some debate locally, with people either loving it or hating it. Personally, I think it’s a stunning piece, and will make a great focal point on the entrance to the town. Full credit to the artist, Locky Morris from Derry, who has done some great work on it.
There’s not much information on the Internet about this new piece, so I’ve put some information about it here. If you have any questions, either send them to me or put them in the comments on this post.
I’ve put the rest of the information on its own page. Click here for more on the Polestar Continue reading
