Street art encompasses large-scale spray-painted murals, stencil works, wheat-paste posters, paste-up and site-specific public interventions. Blue Mountains street artists bring painterly skill, conceptual depth and a strong sense of place to walls and public surfaces across the mountains, with work appearing in Katoomba, Springwood and surrounding towns.
Commissioned street art can transform a building facade, laneway or outdoor space into a destination and a community asset. When commissioning street art, discuss the artist's design process, surface preparation requirements, paint durability in weather conditions, and any permit or council approval requirements for the wall you have in mind.

Are street artists available for indoor projects as well as outdoor walls?

What's the difference between street art and graffiti artists?
While the terms overlap, street artists listed here typically work on commissioned pieces, legal murals, and public art projects rather than unsanctioned tagging. They bring fine art training and commercial professionalism to large-scale painted works, often combining traditional graffiti techniques with illustration, typography, and contemporary design. Many have formal backgrounds in visual arts and run established creative businesses.
