A huge street art festival is taking over Subiaco next month

After successful events in Mount Lawley and South Headlands, the ‘No More Blank Walls’ (NMBW) street art festival has its spray cans set for Subiaco next month!

From October 17-27, Subi will be transformed with an art and culture takeover that includes over 10 murals, a pop-up gallery exhibition, community events, workshops, street art tours, mural battles, a festival hub and live art activities throughout.

A true celebration of street art culture, this year’s fest will showcase a fantastic lineup of world-renowned artists, including Sofles (QLD), and Curtis Hylton (UK) and Wild Drawing (IDN).

All have a diverse range of styles and techniques, bringing creative flare to the Subiaco precinct, which in case you missed the memo, is well and truly back.

The event is run by Perth-based international street art company Blank Walls, founded by Jerome Davenport, Will Clark and Alex Harvey.

“Our first two festivals in Mount Lawley and South Hedland were incredible experiences, and they’ve paved the way for this massive event in Subiaco,” said Clark.

“We’re so proud to showcase some of the amazingly talented creatives we’ve had the opportunity to work with over the years. It’s an honour to bring this event to life in our home city.”

“This year’s festival in Subiaco will be the biggest we’ve ever done, showcasing a lineup of incredible talent from both Western Australia and beyond,” added Davenport.

“We’re committed to highlighting a diverse selection of mural artists, giving opportunities to up-and-coming talent, and featuring established artists who bring something unique to the area.”

City of Subiaco Mayor David McMullen is also excited to welcome the artists.

“No More Blank Walls Subi’ will enhance our City’s aesthetic; elevate our reputation as a hub for culture and creativity; and inject moments of interest and curiosity into everyday life – as all good street art should,” he enthused.

“Subiaco’s walkability, village-like atmosphere, thriving hospitality scene, unique heritage, and special blend of western suburbs and inner city character, makes Subi the ideal destination for this celebration of street art.”

Along with the art-related activations and workshops, Pirate Life will be launching a special festival beer at the festival hub, while local art supply store The Butcher Shop, in collaboration with MTN, will be the exclusive spray paint partners.
