Your name can be part of GAA history with this new initiative from Croke Park

As part of the Gaelic Athletic Association’s work to mark the 140th anniversary of the founding of the GAA, members have an opportunity to be a part of a historic new art installation dedicated to Michael Cusack.

The theme of the Cusack Stand refurbishment is the vibrant spirit of volunteerism that has driven the Association since 1884 and now supporters from Tipperary and across the country have a unique opportunity. .

One of the flagship pieces envisaged is a mosaic made up of hundreds of photos of today’s volunteers coming together to represent an image of GAA founder, Michael Cusack, which will hang proudly in the Cusack Stand for many years to come.

If you or someone from your club would like to be involved - here’s how.

• We’re looking for images of volunteers from our clubs at home and abroad.

• The image must be a head and shoulders shot of the volunteer against a plain, bright background.

• The image file size needs to be a minimum of 4MB (megabytes). A photo taken on a smartphone, for example, is sufficient.

• The person being photographed must be over 18.

• The person must give their consent for their image to be used in this piece of artwork. Consent is given by completing this document and submitting this together with the photograph to [email protected]

• The image will be used for inclusion in this montage and nothing else.

• Submitting a photo does not guarantee inclusion in the artwork.

• If you have any questions or queries, please email [email protected] directly.

• We hope to get a great response from clubs and create something unique that represents our

voluntary ethos and celebrates the contribution of our volunteers
