During her tenure as Artistic Director, Edel oversaw 70 artists producing over 250 large scale art murals in eight years.
“Edel has created such a major impact on the city and its sense of place which will have a long-term impact on the attractiveness of the city as a place to invest, visit, work and live,” said the ex-President of Waterford Institute of Technology, Professor Willie Donnelly
Edel Tobin is a schoolteacher and native of Waterford City and has had the honour of showcasing her social enterprises in Waterford City to President Michael D. Higgins and King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
