NOIRIN’S GLOBE FOR GOAL

BRAY ARTIST Noirin Dodd is one of 100 artists selected to paint a globe for Goal’s ‘What on Earth’ project.

What On Earth is a unique collection of resin globe sculptures which are being painted and decorated by some of Ireland’s top artists and celebrities.

They will then be put on public display to form a series of public art exhibitions which will tour a number of key cities on the island of Ireland, in late summer 2018 before being auctioned off in late October to raise valuable funds for Goal, enabling them to continue their work to ease the plight of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

Noirin’s globe is called ‘’Who Shall Inherit the Earth’.

She has been involved in charity art initiatives for the past seven years with the Jack and Jill Foundation. Three of them were The Big Egg Hunt, Pigs on Parade and Hares on the March. The past two years have been Incognito.

Goal is an international humanitarian and development agency dedicated to the alleviation of suffering amongst the poorest and most vulnerable people in the world. It was founded in Dublin in 1977.

The charity has responded to almost every major natural and man-made disaster and catastrophe in the past 40 years and our priority is to bring life-saving assistance to people affected by emergencies by providing food, healthcare and other basic requirements.

Goal is currently operational in 13 countries in the developing world: Ethiopia, Haiti, Honduras, Iraq, Malawi, Niger, Sierra Leone, Sudan, South Sudan,
