Turas Public Art Transition Year Project
The Turas Public Art Project under the guidance of artist Marie Barrett came to Carndonagh Community School in 2002.
The result was an impressive collection of presentation work carried out by a selection of Transition Year students.
Originally, the project set out to incorporate a study of historical sites in and around Carndonagh with black and
white photography. The quality of the final product inspired project co-ordinator Seán Beattie to produce a postcard
edition of the photographs, which are now on disply in the school. There are four postcards in the collection which
are available from the school priced €2. [Preview the postcards]
