Global Street Artists to Transform the City of South Perth in No More Blank Walls Mural Festival

The City of South Perth will transform into a vibrant outdoor gallery this April as it presents the No More Blank Walls Mural Festival – a nine-day celebration of street art, creativity, and community. 

Running from 10 to 18 April 2026, the festival will showcase murals across four key precincts by renowned local, national, and international artists. 

The artworks will be painted live across South Perth, Manning, Karawara and Kensington during the festival, allowing visitors to witness the creative process unfold. 

The project will deliver new murals across the City and transform everyday blank walls into striking public artworks that reflect the city’s local identity, diversity, and unique riverside culture. 

Among the artists confirmed for the festival is internationally recognised Irish muralist Aches, whose distinctive chromatic style has earned global attention. He will be joined by Western Australian artists Amok Island, Fieldey, James Giddy, Jarni and Rob Jenkins, alongside Australian artists Loretta Lizzio, George Rose and Justine McAllister. 

Alongside the murals, the festival will showcase a curated program of free community events including artist talks, hands-on workshops, guided tours and Blank Walls Live – a high-energy live art battle featuring DJs, food, drinks and artists going head-to-head in front of the crowd. 

City of South Perth Mayor Greg Milner said the festival reflected the City’s ongoing commitment to supporting arts, culture, and vibrant public spaces. 

“We’re excited to bring the No More Blank Walls Mural Festival to the City of South Perth. The strong track record of the team from Blank Walls International Pty Ltd shows how mural art can revitalise public spaces and bring people together,” he said. 

“Bringing a festival of this calibre to our City will create new reasons for people to explore our neighbourhoods and experience the City of South Perth in a fresh and creative way.”  

No More Blank Walls has enjoyed successful instalments in the cities of Subiaco and Stirling and the Town of Port Hedland. 

Blank Walls Co-founder, Alex Harvey said the City of South Perth program would bring together diverse artistic voices and styles. 

“Murals have the power to completely shift how people experience a place. A wall that people walked past yesterday suddenly becomes something they stop for, photograph and feel proud of. That’s the impact public art can have when it’s delivered at scale,” he said. 

Funded through the City Public Art Reserve the project will leave a legacy with the murals becoming part of the local public art collection and forming a mural trail for residents and visitors to explore year-round.
