The streets of Darwin will come to life with the return of the popular Darwin Street Art Festival, celebrating our talented artists who add colour and vitality to our outdoor lifestyle.
Now in its seventh year, the festival will highlight home-grown talent as well as showcasing national and international artists, including Dublin’s Aches, who is well-known for producing large scale psychedelic murals around the world. The Irish creative will join iconic Australian artists including Adnate, Filthy Ratbag, Jeswri, Gonketa, and Kitt Bennett.
Local Darwin artists featuring in the line-up include Jason Lee, Jesse Bell and Tisha Tejaya will also feature in the festival which runs from 28 August to 15 September.
This year’s action packed program includes many firsts for the festival such as an exclusive screening of ‘Girl Power’ – a compelling documentary that presents female graffiti writers from fifteen cities, exhibitions from Papa New Guinean street and contemporary artists, and the very first solo exhibition from emerging Darwin street photographer Migardo Ellaga.
The first release of the program is now live on the Darwin Street Art Festival website, with more exciting announcements to come.
The Darwin Street Art Festival is funded by the Northern Territory Government through Activate Darwin, and delivered by local business Proper Creative.
