Introducing Creative Cabinets

An initiative funded by Ards & North Down Borough Council

Boom Studios is delighted to manage the Ards & North Down Creative Cabinets project - transforming the Borough’s utilities cabinets in to vibrant works of art for all to enjoy.

Following the success of similar initiatives in other council areas, these junction boxes will be painted by local artists with the assistance of a volunteer support crew, and we look forward to partnering with Cabinet Guardians in the local community to help us keep them looking their best. Get involved by visiting a public engagement session, and follow our project blog for all the latest updates!
