The Irish charity GOAL has announced a new public arts initiative to raise funds.

The 'What on Earth' project has seen top Irish artists from all corners of the country paint or decorate 100 resin globe sculptures.

The globes are touring the country and will be on display in Dublin at the CHQ Building from Tuesday October 16th until Saturday.

The globes are currently open to bidding online - with bidding due to close in late November.

All proceeds from the project will go towards GOAL's work.

Many of the globes are based on themes and subjects like migration, climate change, gender equality, sport, music and animals.
