Street Art Festivals + Tour @stapaintthetown
With 50+ (& growing) street art murals across the STA region, PAINT THE TOWN is a ‘must do’ art tour you can do anytime with anyone.
Nationally established artists working along side local talent to create murals that reflect our recovery journey since the 2019 black summer fires. Murals represent the voices and insights of fire effected community members through co-design workshops held with fire effected community members. A celebration of art that brings colour, vibrancy and culture to our region.
PAINT THE TOWN is the brainchild of Wollondilly based street artist Joe Quilter, who brought his dream of a street art festival to STA and before you could say abracadabra PAINT THE TOWN became a reality. Our only addition was to say let’s do four street art festivals and really have some fun.
Get your crew together, hop in the car, put on your skates or jump on the horse and discover street art across our wonderful region on the STA PAINT THE TOWN Street Art Tour
Use our PTT google map to get to all the murals and be awed by the art
