Brimming with Street Art, Ennis is a must see this summer. Thanks to the Wallcandy street art project, the narrow meandering medieval streets have been given a beautiful new lease of life. Wallcandy has drawn together artists and designers with diverse skills to create pieces of art on walls and buildings around the town of Ennis.
The aim of Wallcandy is to give artists the opportunity and freedom to conceive and create a piece of art that uses a particular site in an interesting and quirky way. Before you visit this gem check out Wallcandy.ie for more photography, a detailed map and Artist bios.

We’re usually not fans of posting commerical work on IrishStreetArt.com but the latest graffiti art influenced stop motion piece directed and edited by ‘Stitch That’ for Bulmers Berry is definitely worth a look. Created by the lads at Monorex and DiscoTeck ”An Undergrowth Movement’ stars UK beat box champion ‘Reeps One’.

Karma’s ‘Dreams and Dedication are a Powerful Combination’ is the final piece in this year long exhibition from the country’s finest street artists. Since Noone Casey donated their office door to Twelvdoors.com to use, abuse, deface and delight IrishStreetArt.com has been covering the regular installations. The street art collection also comprised of work by John Bowes, Konk, Able, Fink, Canvaz, Jeff Aerosol, ADW, Maser, Will Saint Leger and Sums. Ranging from hard hitting protest pieces and satirical political observations to colourful easy to digest works of art, Dublin‘s Dame Street Location has now firmly set its mark in the story of Street Art in Ireland.
Taaffes – Galway 15 April 2010

Baqs R and Dust have given one of Galway‘s Shop Street’s landmark premise a facelift. Since its closure, Taaffe’s, once an iconic shop had been painted a dull grey. Other than the odd drink fueled tag that popped up, the disused store had become a nasty focal point. The newly painted tribute to Taaffe’s is now the perfect backdrop for the street performances that will no doubt be enjoyed by the hordes of people who flock to Galway this summer.
A busy Maser 1 April 2010

2010 has been another productive year for Maser to date. From his challenging work with the likes of Damien Dempsey to his public commissioned pieces, Maser has been churning out a constant flow of new material. To be honest, if we were to do a post on every project Maser took on, this could become a glorified fan-site.
Recently Maser worked with Livestrong, the Lance Armstrong Foundation project to unite people to fight cancer believing that unity is strength, knowledge is power and attitude is everything. The finished piece represents Unity and people coming together (the handshake), the Livestrong logo breaking the wall of ignorance down and some positive and negative symbols on each side. For more photos from the busy Dublin based artist visit Maser on Flickr.

More Graffiti from a Growing Limerick Scene 10 March 2010

add a comment
In the last year or so, Limerick‘s Dock Road has been completely transformed. The long, drab, grey road had become a grave yard for petrol stations and the Celtic tiger did little in the way of architectural enhancement. However, thanks to a group of committed Limerick based graffiti artists, the city now has a new focal point in the most unlikely of places. From it’s modest beginning, Limerick‘s beautiful graffiti spot now is decorated with the letters of Ireland’s leading graffiti writers. Long may it last!
