Brisbane appears to be brimming over with street art. Depending on where you are in the city, it seems that on every street corner, there’s a wall mural or a street sculpture, artworks that double as benches or seating, and a whole variety of small to medium installations.
‘The fun part about doing a street festival is the ability to paint murals that then become permanent. So, after seven years, we now have a program of artworks throughout Brisbane that’s been growing since 2016. And the majority have survived and are still existing in public spaces. We’ve delivered something like 300 works in total over those seven years,’ Savage adds.
