New mural of Balor added to DRAWDA Drogheda Urban Art Trail, Embracing our mythological past The newest addition to DRAWDA, Drogheda's iconic Urban Art Trail, the world-renowned Spanish urban painter Moxaico will showcase his incredible work on the side of Scotch Hall on the Marsh Road. Balor was the king of the Fomorians, the dark or evil deities who were eternally at odds with their light or good counterparts, the Tuatha Dé Danann. He was a giant Cyclops-like king who was really a deity of the sun in its destructive or harmful aspect. An ancient prophecy suggested that Balor would be killed by his own grandson, a prophecy that was fulfilled in the second battle of Moytura, when Balor was slain by his grandson, Lugh Lámhfada. Drogheda’s newest large-scale mural that pays homage to key figures and moments from Ireland's mythological past, adding a touch of magic to the town. The project is a collaborative effort by Droichead Arts Centre, Love Drogheda BIDS, and Louth County Council, curated by Dee Walsh in association with mythologist Anthony Murphy. This outstanding project is made possible through the support and funding of several entities, including Louth County Council, Failte Ireland Urban Animation Fund, the Arts Council In the Open, Faoin Spéir Initiative, Love Drogheda B.I.D.S., and Town & Village Accelerated Measures funding.
