Big Picture Fest

The Big Picture Fest 2024 will feature 6 new large-scale murals, attracting visitors and communities to watch acclaimed street artists painting in real time, over 3 days. It's not just big murals - this year the Big Picture Fest will also feature evening projections in the NuSpace corridor during New Annual's First Night on Saturday 27 September, in partnership with University of Newcastle.

The festival attracts high calibre artists from the local to global stage. During the festival, attendees will watch large scale murals being painted in person transforming unused walls in high profile locations in the CBD, the audience will also view massive projections, be a part of community activations and join street art walking tours. 

The Big Picture Fest brings an exciting splash of colour to Newcastle, humanising the city and making an indelible mark on the art, culture and tourism landscape - putting Newcastle on the map as a place for visitors to discover unique street art all year-round.
