The No More Blank Walls street art festival is back, bigger and better than ever. It’s set to take over Subiaco this October with the aim of beautifying the city and bringing people together in celebration of street art culture.
No More Blank Walls will hit Subiaco streets this October
From October 17th to 27th, Subiaco will be transformed with an array of arts and culture including more than ten murals, a pop-up gallery exhibition, community events, workshops, street art tours, mural battles, a festival hub, and live art activities throughout.
Run by Blank Walls, an international street art company founded in Perth by Jerome Davenport, Will Clark, and Alex Harvey, the festival will showcase an incredible lineup of world-renowned mural artists. Think Brisbane’s Sofles, Indonesia’s Wild Drawing, and Curtis Hylton from the United Kingdom. With a diverse range of styles and techniques, these artists will bring a new creative flare to the precinct, solidifying its status as a cultural hotspot, and attracting art enthusiasts from near and far.
“Our first two festivals in Mount Lawley and South Hedland were incredible experiences. They’ve paved the way for this massive event in Subiaco,” Will Clark said.
“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,” lead festival curator Jerome Davenport added.
“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.”
A hub of culture and creativity
“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,” City of Subiaco Mayor David McMullen said.
“Subiaco’s walkability, village-like atmosphere, thriving hospitality scene, unique heritage, and special blend of western suburbs and inner city character, makes it the ideal destination for this celebration of street art.”
Long-standing event partner and brewery, Pirate Life will support the festival with a dedicated festival beer available at the festival hub. Local art store, The Butcher Shop, will also be the exclusive spray paint partners, providing artists the best tools for their craft.
