The Benalla Street Art Festival 2024 welcomed talented artists who transformed 15 of Benalla’s walls and laneways into a vibrant alfresco gallery. Curated by Eddie Zammit, the week-long festival celebrated arts, culture, and creativity with talented Australian and international artists.

A diverse line-up of fringe events supported the festival, including live music, cinema screenings, immersive art experiences, workshops, and exhibitions.

Thank you to our sponsors, local businesses, volunteers, Advisory Committee members and staff for your hard work in supporting the return of this much-loved festival after a 5 year hiatus.

The Benalla Street Art Festival 2024 is supported by the Victorian Government through its Regional Events Fund.

2024 Benalla Street Art Festival - Curator message

I am thrilled to curate an event that promises a dynamic shift towards invigorating Benalla’s local economy.

Focused on Bridge Street East, our murals aim to breathe new life into the heart of the town. The diverse line up of 15 artists includes international, interstate, regional and Melbourne-based talents, marking a fresh era for our Festival. Witness the transformative power of art as we bring energy, colour, and inspiration to Benalla. Join us in celebrating a new chapter in our town’s cultural journey.

Thank you for the generous support of our partners including the Benalla Rural City Council who have been instrumental in making this event happen, and the government via Visit Victoria.
