The artwork depicts a female nomadic character complete with literal beehive hairstyle. She is set amid lush vegetation\, symbolising new begin nings and the growth of start-up businesses within Liverpool.\n\nThe Tempe st building has attracted young and creative businesses\, something that C apital&\;Centric has encouraged as a disruptive and creative property d eveloper. The developer has also provided a co-working space on the entire top floor of the building with charity Launch22\, this space mentors entr epreneurs with free offices for people from disadvantaged backgrounds.\n\n The artwork features a number of themes\, from the image of a poised fema le nomad entering the city of Liverpool to the bees that represent the bee hive of 180\,000 bees located on the buildings roof. The developer install ed to beehive to assist with the UK’s falling bee count.\n\nNomad Clan i mmersed themselves in the challenge\, saying\n“We are extremely proud o f what we’ve produced and hope the people of Liverpool like the mural as much as we’ve enjoyed producing it\, in our signature Nomad Clan style. It has a playful nod to the beehives on the Tempest building and city wit h the Liver Bird and sea holly\; which is Liverpool’s native flower embl em”\n\nAdam Higgins\, co founder of Capital&\;Centric said:\n“We s pent the past year renovating this derelict building in Liverpool to becom e a focus for innovative and creative new business\; the artwork is the fi nishing touch by using the building as a canvas for everyone to appreciate .”\n\nTempest - Tithebarn Street Liverpool\, Merseyside L2 2DT\n\nhttp:/ /capitalandcentric.com/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2015/11/tempest-building-mural.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20151025T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
