Tall Ships Mural Belfast - Rotterdam Bar Belfast Harbour Video
A competition was held to create a wall mural to welcome back the Tall Ships to Belfast - and this is the winning entry! An impressive piece of work. This definitely adds to the collection of murals around the city that are worth checking out.
Back in 2015, when the Tall Ships returned to Northern Ireland (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKRbnKu6cVA), there was a competition held in order to celebrate this event and the competition was all about creating a mural that would be all about those tall ships - which could explain why this mural is given that name.
The interesting thing about this mural or piece of art - of course after the interest of watching the thing itself - is the fact that it was drawn by a 16 year old boy from Belfast who is named Daniel Hamilton. Daniel managed to succeed and compete with other five competitors who reached the finals of the Tall Ships Competition and succeeded at creating the newest design for Belfast's added piece of art.
A lot of people think that Daniel Hamilton was the one to draw this piece of art directly on the wall of Rotterdam Bar in Belfast Harbour, which is not true, because Daniel drew and created the design on paper and it was then transferred to the wall by the help of the local mural artist Danny Devenny, which took about 10 days in order to bring it to the street wall.
Who out there would not love the idea of walking down the streets and spotting different art pieces that are found on the walls of the streets? Almost no one out there would not be excited about such a thing and you will even find people staring, taking pictures, and even asking others to take pictures of them while standing beside that specific peace of art.
When it comes to those different murals that are taking their place in Belfast, Northern Ireland, we should never forget to refer to the "Son of Protagoras" mural which was done by the famous international graffiti artist MTO who was born in France and who have done it while visiting Belfast (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNPLOpHKOEE).
There are still other pieces of street art which one could come across but which could be also considered part of the whole place, not just like the case with the Tall Ships Mural which was done all on its own in that street. Those visiting Belfast could walk through the streets in Sandy Row and manage to see different pieces of art that are scattered there on the walls (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7mm-EbzfTM), people could also check the Peace Wall in Belfast which might now be considered one of the most famous attractions in Belfast since a lot of tourists come to check it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks6Xdhq8aag), and there is also some murals and graffiti work that is found in the Cathedral Quarter in Belfast and which is also found interesting for lots of passers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xpOSaxwqlA).
Coming outside Belfast, there might be other murals and art pieces which are scattered around the country, such as the Free Derry Murals located in Bogside-Derry/Londonderry which are those Irish murals done for the purpose of marking the troubles in the Bogside Derry (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjWpOv6O-S8).
In other cities in Northern Ireland, or even in other countries around the world, there might be artists who did not get the chance to be widely known and who have exerted some effort to create their murals and pieces of art in some streets without us knowing about - it is only those who might pass by it by coincidence or those who already know the artists who will know that there is something in a specific place or street which they have to go and check.
Since this is considered a piece of art that is found in Northern Ireland then it is important to mention some of the other places which one could go to and check, if they are placed in the list of "art lovers". There is the Island Arts Centre in Lisburn which is a leading multi-arts venue that is perfect for all the art lovers out there (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-aAO4AtMqY), there is also the Ulster Museum Art Zone in Belfast which is a gallery, a museum, and a place for exhibitions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phteeZfIpEE), and there is also "The MAC" which is the Metropolitan Arts Centre in Belfast that is located in the famous Cathedral Quarter and focuses on art, shows, plays, and is regarded as a theatre (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3zauoYi3uE).
There are lots of places that might be related to art in all its different types and which would be suitable for all the art lovers who are visiting Northern Ireland and want to spend part of their trip on the love they carry for art - these are some of the places which we would suggest and which we have already been to before.
