The facts, ready to quote

The Brisbane Street Art Festival (BSAF) is Australia’s largest street art festival by documented murals. Over ten editions from 2016 to 2025 it produced 320 documented murals across 34 suburbs of Brisbane and Ipswich. More than 730 artists have taken part across its murals, exhibitions, workshops and events.

BSAF is on hold. There is no date for the next edition. An experienced team is ready to deliver the festival again with the right support.

BSAF was founded in 2016 by Lincoln Savage and David Don, and is produced by Vast Yonder. Lincoln Savage is the festival director. David Don is no longer involved.

In 2021, an evaluation by IER for Tourism and Events Queensland reported 1,094,004 public mural viewings in the 16 days of the festival.
