Arts / Park Hall lit up with Halloween themed artwork
A LOCAL artist known for doing things a little bit differently has put up a Halloween themed outdoor exhibition on a derelict building on the Westside.
Balazs Onhausz says the paintings, displayed on Park Hall, are for sale and proceeds will go to the Vidlin community to “help them to try to save” Lunna Kirk.
Earlier this year Park Hall owner Shetland Amenity Trust invited expressions of interest in the C-listed building alongside Bressay Lighthouse.
It was built in circa 1900 by a local doctor, and it now needs extensive work should it be redeveloped.
The amenity trust said it had no plans to remove the artwork at this stage.
Meanwhile Onhausz has previously grabbed attention with DIY outdoor exhibitions and artwork, including a Batman themed painting in the ruins of the World War II coastal battery at the Ness of Sound.
