320 murals across 34+ suburbs — the most complete record of Brisbane street art, photographed, mapped and documented by the people who painted the city.
Brisbane holds one of Australia’s largest street-art collections. Between 2016 and 2025 the Brisbane Street Art Festival (BSAF) delivered 320 documented murals by 252 artists from more than 20 countries — building-scale walls spread across 34+ suburbs, from the CBD’s laneways to Northshore Hamilton. All of it is free to see, year-round, on public streets.
This guide is built from the festival’s own archive: every wall photographed, geolocated and credited to its artist. Pick an area below, follow a walking loop, or open the interactive mural map and chart your own route.
Brisbane’s nightlife precinct doubles as one of its densest open-air galleries — laneway walls and building-scale murals turn over faster here than anywhere else in the city.
Street art in Fortitude Valley →The CBD hides large-scale works in its laneways and on its campus walls — including the QUT mural program that began with BSAF in 2018.
Street art in Brisbane City →Between the Valley and the showgrounds, Bowen Hills’ industrial walls carry large festival works you can catch on the way through.
Street art in Bowen Hills →Around South Bank and the Fish Lane arts precinct, murals sit between restaurants, galleries and theatres — the easiest place to fold street art into a day out.
Street art in South Brisbane →Northshore Hamilton became the festival’s home ground: Superordinary launched here in 2022 as an immersive arts precinct, surrounded by some of BSAF’s largest murals.
Street art in Hamilton →South of the river, the Gabba’s warehouses and rail corridors gave BSAF some of its biggest canvases — including walls painted around the Cross River Rail build.
Street art in Woolloongabba →No tickets, no tours required — these three loops cover the densest stretches of Brisbane street art. Each suburb links to its own page with every wall and directions.
Start in the CBD’s laneways, cross to South Brisbane for the Fish Lane precinct, then wander into West End’s backstreets. Flat, walkable, and dense with walls.
Fortitude Valley’s laneways into New Farm via the Powerhouse and Howard Smith Wharves — nightlife walls, heritage graffiti and riverside murals in one afternoon.
Hamilton’s Northshore precinct — the festival’s 2022+ home — holds some of the biggest walls in the archive, with more scattered through the northern suburbs.
Most of the large-scale walls in this guide were delivered by the Brisbane Street Art Festival — ten editions between 2016 and 2025, produced by Vast Yonder and backed by Brisbane City Council, Arts Queensland and partners across the city. The festival is currently on hold, but the walls — and this archive — remain.
Street art is spread across more than 34 Brisbane suburbs. The densest clusters are Fortitude Valley, Brisbane City, Bowen Hills, South Brisbane, Hamilton — and the BSAF mural map plots every documented wall with directions to each one.
The Brisbane Street Art Festival archive documents 320 murals painted across 34+ suburbs between 2016 and 2025 — alongside council programs like Artforce’s painted signal boxes and many independent works, Brisbane has one of the largest street-art collections in Australia.
Yes. Almost all of it is painted on public and street-facing walls — laneways, rail corridors, riverside precincts — so the whole city works as a free, open-air gallery, accessible year-round.
Through the Brisbane Street Art Festival the city has hosted major international and Australian names including Adnate, Fintan Magee, Guido van Helten, Sofles, DOES, Said Dokins, Claire Foxton and Drapl — 252 artists from more than 20 countries across ten editions.
The Brisbane Street Art Festival (BSAF) ran for ten editions between 2016 and 2025, delivering 320 documented murals by 252 artists. The festival is currently on hold; its producer, Vast Yonder, maintains this archive and remains active on new public-art commissions.
