Brisbane Street Art Festival 2017

Overview

When it comes to taking to the streets, spraying some paint around and stencilling up a storm, Banksy isn't the only artist worth celebrating. In fact, street art is thriving in Brisbane — so much so that there's now a returning festival dedicated to it.

That'd be the Brisbane Street Art Festival, which unleashes its second iteration around the city from February 11 to March 3. If you're wondering just what it involves, let us throw a few numbers your way: 61 artists, more than 30 venues, and one satellite mini-fest in Nambour, just for starters

Everything from live graffiti to projections in public spaces to plenty of parties are on the bill, and at places as varied as Red Hill's old Skate Arena, the Queensland Museum and many a street around the city, too. If that all sounds rad — and it really does — then you have no excuse not to take part. Did we mention that performances, classes, pitch sessions, workshops and even sonic cinema are on the bill too?
