The ‘No More Blank Walls’ (NMBW) street art festival is back, bigger and better than ever. This October, NMBW are taking over Subiaco with the aim to beautify the City and bring people together in celebration of street art culture.
From 17-27 October, 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 the festival.
The Subiaco festival will showcase an incredible lineup of world-renowned mural artists, including Fintan Magee (NSW), Sofles (QLD), and Curtis Hylton (UK). With a diverse range of styles and techniques, these artists will bring a new creative flare to the precinct, further solidifying its status as a cultural hotspot, attracting art enthusiasts and visitors from near and far.
Run by Blank Walls, an international street art company founded in Perth by Jerome Davenport, Will Clark, and Alex Harvey. Will Clark said, “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. 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. Together with the City of Subiaco and our fantastic sponsors, we’re set to make this the best No More Blank Walls festival yet!”
Jerome Davenport, lead curator of the festival, added, “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. 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 said, "I'm a great supporter of arts and culture, and I am thrilled that Subiaco will become a canvas for some incredibly talented muralists.
“'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.
“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.”
Long-standing event partner and brewery, Pirate Life will support the festival with a dedicated festival beer available at the festival hub.
Local art supply store, The Butcher Shop, in collaboration with MTN, will be the exclusive spray paint partners, providing artists the best tools for their craft.
‘No More Blank Walls Subi’ is presented by See Subiaco, an initiative by City of Subiaco.
