320 murals. 252 artists from more than twenty countries. A free, open-air gallery woven permanently into the city.
The Brisbane Street Art Festival (BSAF) ran for ten editions between 2016 and 2025, transforming walls across the city into a free, open-air gallery of large-scale public art. Over that decade it brought together 252 artists — and delivered 320 documented murals, alongside many more walls painted off-program, across more than 30 Brisbane suburbs.
From the start, BSAF set local talent shoulder-to-shoulder with leading international names — artists like Adnate, Fintan Magee, Guido van Helten, Sofles, DOES, Said Dokins and many more, drawn from over twenty countries. It hosted globally significant programming, from Meeting of Styles to international exhibitions, and reached millions of people at live events with tens of millions of media impressions each year.
BSAF was produced by Vast Yonder. After a decade of delivery, the festival is on hold while it seeks the partners and investment a free festival of this ambition deserves — but the team behind it is active and available for new commissions. This site preserves the full archive — every artist, artwork and edition — as a record of what a sustained, internationally significant public-art program can do for a city.
Public Art For Everyone.
The inaugural festival — 50+ artists across 25+ walls in the heart of Brisbane.
International cohort expands; the QUT campus mural program begins.
Live-streamed painting keeps the program alive through the pandemic.
Superordinary Northshore launches as an immersive arts precinct and festival hub.
A tenth edition caps a decade as one of Australia’s most significant street-art events.
Across the decade, BSAF was supported by all levels of government and leading Queensland institutions, alongside major property, brand and industry partners.
The archive also demonstrates our capacity to deliver public art at scale: a decade of councils, permits, property owners and production; 252 artists from 20+ countries curated and contracted; 320 murals delivered across the city, on time and on brief.
If you’re a council, developer, brand or funder — in Brisbane or beyond — with a wall, a precinct or a program in mind, we’d love to talk.
Public art, murals and activations — delivered at scale, the way BSAF was.
