Dismaland was an amusement park/art show built on a 2.5 acre site in Weston-Super-Mare in the UK which previously was the home of The Tropicana swimming baths which I often visited as a child. There was 58plus artists carefully handpicked to show their controversial works. Damien Hirst, Jenny Holzer and Darren Cullen are just a few to mention. Banksy gave them all an exciting opportunity to showcase their work in a truthful, emotional and shocking way. Don't worry we will go into a lot more detail later in future posts.

Not only has Dismaland given well known artists and up and coming artists a new platform, Banksy also produced new art pieces himself. These included the little Mermaid at the center of the bemusement park and the giant Dismaland castle. It didn’t stop their once inside the amazing castle he has created Cinderella in her carriage, which had crashed and was surrounded by evil paparazzi.
