Street Art can help to create a vibrant and lively city centre. Contributing to placemaking and urban living transformation.
With a growing presence - including commissioned pieces by world-renowned artists and local talents alike, such as ROA, HAHA, Fintan Magee, Lee Harnden, Kennie Deaner, and the RUN Collective - Street Art is becoming a 'must-see' when visiting the CBD.
The Street Art movement in Townsville provides local artists with exciting professional development and career opportunities and adds value to Townsville’s arts and culture product. Economically, Street Art helps to activate the CBD, encourage cultural tourism, and strengthen the city’s arts sector.
This wherigo will take you on a tour to view 18 Street Art Highlights. The 1km walk will take you approximately 30 minutes and requires you to answer questions about the art you will see. At the final stop you will be given the coordinates to the cache which is very close by.
As of December 2020, Augmented Reality has been added to many of the artworks. Check it out here.
This kind of art form has a limited lifespan. Please send me a message if you believe any of the the pieces have been replaced.
Congratulations to 9604mec for being the FTF.
