From Saturday 7 May to Sunday 22 May, get excited for a myriad of epic events, large scale exhibitions and powerful artist panel talks, alongside a massive workshop program that has something for everyone to delve into the richness and diversity of Brisbane's public art community. The two-week program kicks-off with the Festival launch party May 7, where BSAF will introduce a new art precinct Superordinary Northshore as the central hub for this year's event.

This repurposed industrial space in Northshore will host BSAF’s finest art events and will sit amongst 12 mural activations from the festival program. A unique hub that inspires creatives to push limits and invite audiences to engage with the local arts communities through workshops, performances, exhibitions, and events.

This year’s event will showcase several Live Murals, various Events, and “Within these walls” exhibitions as well as welcome international artists for the first time since 2019, who are ready to share their stories through public art on the canvas of Brisbane. Artists will travel from countries such as Spain, Hong Kong, Russia, USA, Thailand, and Indonesia to connect with the local community in a melting pot of energy that creates opportunity for culturally rich and diverse experiences.

Brisbane Street Art Festival continues its efforts to place Brisbane as one of the world’s most significant street art cities, attracting International Artists such as Miss Birdy, Iñigo Sesma and Fivust to paint on our walls for 2022. They will join significant local artists such as Sofles, Lisa King, and Rachael Sarra to take this year’s festival to the next level. The live mural sites will spread across iconic locations in the city - Howard Smith Wharves, Queen Street Mall, RNA Showgrounds, The Valley Mall, and Southbank to name a few.
