A NEW street art festival’s coming to cover the Mount Lawley’s cafe strip in murals next month.

The inaugural No More Blank Walls festival’s bringing a bunch of local artists together for live mural painting, street art tours, a gallery exhibition and artist talks.

It’s been organised by local street art company Blank Walls, and cofounder Will Clark says “putting on our own street art festival has been a goal of ours since we started Blank Walls back in 2019.

“With everything going on in the world right now, there’s no better time to turn some blank spaces into beautiful places.”

Stirling council’s helped fund 

it, and mayor Mark Irwin says he hopes “these murals will become cultural assets that will provide long-term benefits to the community and businesses in the area long after the festival”.

Paintings are planned across April 8 to 16 around the Mount Lawley.
