Get ready to look up — a huge citywide street art festival is taking over the city.
Brisbane's streets are about to look a whole lot brighter — and sport a lot more paint, feature giant murals aplenty and showcase a heap more art in general. The reason: the returning Brisbane Street Art Festival, which'll take over the city from Saturday, May 6–Sunday, May 21 for its sixth event.
When it comes to splashing art across the streets, spraying some paint around and stencilling up a storm, this festival offers a firm reminder: no, Banksy isn't the only artist worth celebrating and never has been. Indeed, the street art scene has been thriving in Brisbane for years, which is why this fest even exists.
(That said, this year's BSAF will arrive around the same time as a huge Banksy exhibition hits the River City, so it's basically street art Christmas.)
2023's Brisbane Street Art Festival lineup hasn't dropped yet, but expect international and local artists to show off their skills. In 2022, the roster of talent help put up 50 new large-scale murals around the place — even if only temporarily — and BSAF does love topping its feats each year.
The festival's 16-day run will also be complemented by a range of art events — last year's included Scribble Slam, a Brisbane-themed photography exhibit, a big party at Felons Brewing Co, workshops, and using Northshore as its headquarters. Read More…
