Welcome to the 2024 Brisbane Street Art Festival (BSAF)! As the festival director, It is my great pleasure to invite you on this journey of experiencing the vibrant tapestry of creative expression to be contributed to the walls of our city. We embrace creativity, diversity and connection that resonates with our mission to foster a sense of community, celebrate our differences, and showcase the transformative power of public art.

BSAF has explored many formats and inclusions since its inception in 2016, this year (our 9th!), we are delivering 24 new large scale works across the city. Along with many other artists featured in our exhibitions and workshops program. The festival spans across Brisbane’s most iconic locations, presenting a mix of large-scale murals, live performances, and workshops that will engage, inspire, and captivate both first-time visitors and returning fans alike.

Diversity and inclusion are at the core of our festival. We are proud to present works that represent a myriad of artistic styles, cultural backgrounds, and perspectives. Our goal is to create a platform where artists can express creative freedom such as sharing their stories, challenging societal norms, and inspiring positive change. In our attempts to support underrepresented groups, we made a conscious effort to encourage artists from all walks of life to participate and share their unique voices.

Our dynamic and innovative new venue, Superordinary, will be the hub of the festival. This unique space boasts large-scale galleries, numerous artist studio spaces, live music, markets, and a diverse range of art-making programs, catering to both seasoned artists and budding creatives. It is specially designed to nurture artistic development, foster collaboration, and offer a vibrant cultural experience to the community. The space will further enrich Brisbane’s thriving art scene, as the base of operations for the festival again this year.

As we navigate these unprecedented times, the role of art in our lives has become more important than ever. BSAF is committed to fostering creativity, and unity within our community. We are grateful for the incredible support we have received from our sponsors, partners, artists, and, most importantly, you – the festival-goers.

On behalf of the entire BSAF team, we extend our heartfelt thanks and invite you to immerse yourself in the vivid colours, thought-provoking stories, and transformative experiences of public art.

Warm regards,

Lincoln Savage

Festival Director
