Market Day

Loretta Lizzio x Writer's Block Murals
All the way from ‘Down Under’ to Leeuwarden! Artist Loretta Lizzio painted this striking mural on the front of Hotel Post-Plaza. It’s a true Loretta painting, characterized by a feminine perspective and aesthetic. The mural features several elements from the surrounding’s past and present. Even more impressive in real life, so be sure to visit!

Loretta: “The mural ‘Market Day’, painted entirely with brushwork, depicts a young woman in traditional Frisian dress, set against the backdrop of the historic markets once held in the very street where it now lives. Framed by arching trees that reflect those lining the street and shaped to mirror the door and window forms of the former post office, now the Post-Plaza Hotel & Grand Café. The work connects past and present, honoring local heritage while blending seamlessly into the city’s architectural landscape.”
