Waterford
In 2022, ReThink Ireland, a social enterprise organisation, contacted the Street Art Ink team to commission an artwork launching a national campaign on the importance of social enterprise efforts in the community. Waterford was chosen as the first artwork to launch this campaign. The artist who painted this was ADW (Ireland), installed in July 2022.
In 2022 Street Art Ink worked with local business and wall owner Fitzgerald Power to paint an artwork launching its national Floating Voices program. This artwork highlights the rich heritage of Waterford and its shipbuilding and maritime history. The artist chosen to paint this piece was David Maker (Spain) and this artwork WAS being installed in tandem with the launch of Street Art Ink’s Maritime guided tours in April 2023.
In June 2024, The Reg contacted Edel and the Street Art Ink team to commission two artworks. The first artwork in the outdoor terrace area upstairs was to touch up a previous artwork that got damaged over the years. Edel advised that it would be better to create a new artwork design since they had built a pergola and its position compromised the existing mural, splitting it into two. The second artwork was downstairs in the smoking area and followed the same theme. The two artists MJ Jacob and Juliette were the artists who collaborated very successfully on this project. Juliette did the design and MJ installed the artworks.
