Brisbane murals
Created by both local and national artists, Brisbane's murals enliven our public spaces and celebrate our city's vibrant creative scene.
Murals have been delivered by Council's Brisbane Canvas program and Village Precinct Projects, and in partnership with Brisbane Street Art Festival. They introduce a rich range of innovative and imaginative commissioned street art to walls, pillars and bridges across the city.

Street art walls
Street art or legal graffiti walls are public spaces where street artists can showcase their talent.
We provide street art walls to foster local artists and help reduce graffiti on public and private property.
You’ll find street art walls in:
- Ekibin Park East, Greenslopes - north-west wing walls of drainage culvert, Ridge Street
- Ekibin Park South, Annerley - north-western wall of drainage channel, beneath the South East Freeway
- Stanton Road Park, Tingalpa - walls of drainage culvert, beneath the Gateway Motorway
- Caroline Street, Paddington - within Paddington Skate Park in Neal Macrossan Playground Park.
The street art walls are freely available for artists to express their creativity and develop their skills.
Guidelines
Make sure you follow the guidelines when working on the street art walls.
- Street art that’s offensive in nature and has the potential to upset, disturb, threaten or insult people may be removed.
- All spray cans and rubbish must be cleared away. Littering is an offence.
- Artists must respect everyone's right to use the site and respect each other's artwork. Where possible, artists are encouraged to paint over older or damaged sections of the wall.
- Council reserves the right to change the status of the legal sites and these guidelines at any time.
