The City of Melbourne is one of the world’s best cities for street art. Throughout Melbourne there are many different murals and stencil art pieces scattered on various buildings in the CBD and inner city area.
The City of Melbourne has strict rules about what is and isn’t acceptable ‘art’. Unwanted graffiti and tagging is not acceptable and is removed. Murals or artistic pieces that are done with permission on buildings are kept and promoted and street art changes on a regular basis.
Street art is now going from the streets into art galleries in Melbourne. The National Gallery of Australia is holding an exhibition of street art in October 2011. http://nga.gov.au/Exhibition/SPACEINVADERS/
Melbourne has many international and interstate guests who come to see Melbourne’s creative street art. Some of Melbourne’s best street art can be found on 21 Degraves St, Cnr Flinders Lane and Cocker Alley, 122 Palmerston St Carlton and Union Lane off Bourke St Mall.
Melbourne Street Art Tours do guided walking tours of Melbourne’s street art through Melbourne’s lanes and alleyways. These tours are ever changing and always different. The tours are led by famous local street artists. For more detailed information go to http://www.melbournestreettours.com/
