‘Within These Walls’ is a group showcase of exhibitable works by local street artists, along with a number of interstate and international artists with connections to the Brisbane Street Art Festival. The exhibition will run from 4th of May until the 19th of May, with an opening night to be held on Saturday, 4th of May. If you haven’t been able to experience the Brisbane Street Art Festival in previous years, this exhibition will open eyes and minds with the amazing talent that resides both locally and international. There will be paintings, photographs, drawings, sketches, works of all different shapes and sizes, placed throughout West Village.

The launch event on Saturday May 4th will also feature a combined performance piece by Brisbane-based string group Luminescence, and designer Chris Mangos. The project seeks to encapsulate the mood and tone of Luminescence’s performance through interactive lighting, creating a harmony of sight and sound. The night will wrap up with a DJ set from Glasshead.

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
