Marina Market Celebrates a Month of Creativity with January Graffiti Battles

A look at some of the finished pieces from each of the artists.

Marina Market came alive with colour, creativity and community throughout January as we hosted the much anticipated Graffiti Battles, a month long celebration of street art talent featuring some of Ireland’s most exciting graffiti and urban artists.

Each weekend in January, artists went head-to-head in a series of live battles, transforming the Marina Market into a vibrant, high energy creative arena. A total of 16 artists competed across six battles, with the strongest performers advancing to a highly anticipated final held on 2nd February.
