Street Art is exploding across the STA Region. While heaps have been created through the PAINT THE TOWN Festivals our region boast many other street art murals in obvious and hidden places everywhere.
Here is where you’ll find them and their stories.
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 goggle map to get to all the murals and be awed by the art

In late 2023 Yass High asked if STA could help get a mural painted at the entrance to the school. We brought in Eddie Mo, fabulous urban designer from Hilltops.
Eddie Mo completed this mural at the entrance to Yass High School. The design features the towns postcode in the centre surrounded by some of the most complex and fancy stencil work you are likely to find anywhere. Awesome.

PTT murals are co-designed by the community to reflect our experiences of the Black Summer fires.
In the lead up to the PTT Festival STA partnered with Stephen Carroll to run two Co-Design Workshops in Goulburn and Marulan. Fire affected community members shared their stories of the black summer fires and the journey of recovery since the fires. The workshop content was used to create briefs for all the artists to develop their PAINT THE TOWN murals. STA recognize the impact the 2019/2020 fires have had, and continue to have, on mental health.
More About Stephen Carroll –Stephen Carroll a qualified psychotherapist, credentialed mental health nurse & counsellor with 45 years experience of working in mental health.
