The Brisbane Street Art Festival is coming to Ipswich this year! Seven walls will be painted in the CBD from July 27 to August 23. Public viewing opportunities to meet the artists at their walls will be held between 10am and 2pm on August 8 and 9.

There will also be workshops for budding creators to learn from the nationally recognised artists taking part over August 8 and 9 and a live stream broadcast from Studio 188 on Saturday August 8 from 5pm-8pm featuring live artist interviews, local music performances and a live scribble slam battle!
