The Bogside Artists are the soul creators of the World Famous Peoples Gallery. The twelve large scale murals are a main visitor attraction. Our business is to provide a unique tour by the Artists themselvesand a visit to our Art Gallery also called the People's Gallery.
Tom Kelly, Kevin Hasson and Tom's brother William are the three men who created all of the twelve murals that constitute The People's Gallery® in the Bogside area of Derry in the North of Ireland. They have been working on their murals project since 1993 when the group first formed. Their work represents the Bogside and its people's troubled history. It is their story that fills its walls.
The artists themselves are part of the story they have narrated, making the gallery totally unique and entirely reflective of the spirit and character of the people it depicts. The Bogside Artists hold the site to be sacred and inviolable as it was the scene of much tragedy during the Troubles. That is why they took the name by which they become known worldwide - "The Bogside Artists".
