Indian-Canadian artist Fatspatrol is already about halfway through her mural for the festival located on Stephen Street, Waterford.





After a quick stopover in Dublin to catch up with some family and friends over a few coffees at the ever-excellent Clement &Pekoe we then took the short two-hour train journey from Dublin’s Heuston Station along the east coast to Waterford’s Plunkett Station.A short 5-minute walk across the River Suir, which flows through Waterford City and we located our riverside hotel. A friendly Irish welcome at check-in, we dropped our bags and hit the streets with our cameras. What with the festival already in full swing many of the invited international and national street artists have begun working on their murals across the city with a few artists such as Curtis Hylton having already finished not one but two new murals in the city.Check out some of the scenes from the streets of Waterford in our series of photos below. Waterford Walls festival will continue across the city all weekend with workshops, art jams, expert panel talks, art, and music trails accompanying the street artists at work on their murals.
