freely throughout the night, so come on down!

Sometimes it can be difficult to see all of Brisbane’s new murals on foot, so this year BSAF 2019 will host a Street Art Cycling tour! Led by local artist, Jackson Hambridge, the mobile audience will be taken past a number of artworks across the city, from this year’s program and past years. Winding along the river and Brisbane’s beautiful bicycle paths, Jackson will explain who the artists behind the mural was, and give insight into how the work came to life.

There will be two rounds of the art battle project; one on the second Sunday of the festival and the second at the Festival Closing Party on Friday 17th of May. We’ll see the iconic Scribble Slam return in Ric’s Backyard and the Toombul Centre. The event showcases two artists battling against each other, working with a 90 minute time limit, and each creating their own artwork on a large canvas. The first Scribble Slam will host the incredible talents of Zurik and Kristopher Ho, while the second will be an incredible battle between the duo Sheep Chen and SorTwo. Each will be hosted by Shani Finch, who will give attendees an unmissable blow by blow of the street artists in action.
The two artists can use whichever medium they like to create an artwork, and will be completely unaware of what they are going to paint until the timer begins! This element of ‘unknown’ lends Scribble Slam a sense of intensity and shows a unique perspective into the artists creative process that draws a diverse crowds of art appreciators

This exhibition is a recollective artistic representation of Climate Change and its effects on Patan, Kathmandu and Nepal. Immerse yourself in a small corner of Nepal through interactive and transportive urban works. A group exhibition by Jordache, Jaybeez, The Zookeeper (The Brightsiders), Lara Furst and Sarah Sculley.

Join us on Sunday 5 May for the Brisbane Street Art Festival Launch Party, a night celebrating public art and the culture surrounding it. Generously hosted by our sponsors Howard Smith Wharves and Felons Brewing Co, the launch will feature a smorgasbord of sensory delights throughout the vibrant riverside setting.

Also on offer will be performances from Theatre of Thunder and the opportunity to rub shoulders with artists from around the world.

People of all genders, sexual orientations, ethnicities, cultural backgrounds, abilities and artistic interests are invited to attend this celebration of our city’s arts and culture.

To celebrate another successful BSAF, we present you with the perfect closing party, set to take place at the Toombul Centre rooftop carpark! Toombul will not only be the location of BSAF’s Pop-up Studio, activating numerous street art workshops across the festival’s duration, but it will also be home to a number of significant new murals. So of course, it’s the perfect place to watch the sun go down on the festival that was. Come along and enjoy an evening of entertainment, including live music, live painting and more, to celebrate with organisers and artists alike. This event will feature live performances from Salmon and the Peaches, Desmond Cheese and Feelsclub along with roving performance and the live street art battle; Scribble Slam.

An event run by women, for women. ‘Female Frontline’ is designed solely for females to engage and network with other female artists, producers, directors, performers, and all around creatives. All women working within the creative industries are invited to gather, have a couple of beers, and get to know each other before the official ‘Within These Walls’ exhibition opening at West Village.
This event is inclusive to all who identify as female.

This one night only exhibition held at ‘Artists Alike’ in Albion, will showcase the work of local photographer, Toks Ojo, alongside a variety of other Brisbane artists. With artwork available for purchase, this event will also celebrate the launch of Toks’ official crowdfunding campaign to release his upcoming photography book, documenting Street Art in Brisbane. Come have a drink, support local artists, and celebrate the launch of Toks’ campaign!

On Thursday May 9th, Howard Smith Wharves will transform into a hub for all artists involved in the festival program to take a break, put down the spray cans and pick up a beer. With everyone welcome, it’s the perfect opportunity to put a face behind the freshest murals across the city. Celebrate the people that give life to BSAF 2019, with a killer view of Brisbane Story Bridge to boot.

BSAF is making it easy to see some of the latest and greatest murals of Brisbane with Street Art Cycling Tours! Led by self-proclaimed “your Nan’s favourite artist”, Tervo, you’ll be taken on a guided ride along Brisbane’s beautiful bike paths – exploring new works from BSAF 2021 and the iconic murals of past years. Journeying through the CBD, West End, Fortitude Valley and wider, Tervo will give you the rundown of the artists and inspirations behind these great works.

Leave the lycra at home for this leisurely afternoon – despite the aerodynamic look of his mullet, until beer drinking enters the Olympics, Tervo is no athlete.
