WORKSHOPS

A series of socially distanced street art workshops will take place during the festival including:

AEROSOL MASTERCLASS

A respected street art professional will guide a group of participants through a collaborative wall work, introducing the attendees to advanced marking, spraying and conceptual techniques.

Beginner patrons will leave with a more comprehensive knowledge of the work required to complete a mural artwork, while more experienced attendees will have the opportunity to improve their technique.

These workshops are suitable for both people starting out with cans and those with experience hoping to tune their technique.

Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 August, 10:00am – 11.30am

COST: $10

BRUSHWORK THROUGH STILL LIFE

PUBLIC ART 101

This workshop will introduce artists and producers to the principles of public art. Hosted by muralist Ash Taylor and Lincoln Savage, the Director of the Brisbane Street Art Festival, you will hear from the artistic perspective and the logistical side of large-scale street art projects.

This will be a casual Q&A style workshop with plenty of room for responding to specific questions from attendees.
