ALLYOURWALLS - Melbourne Graffiti & Street Art Now - brings together some of Melbourne’s finest graffiti crews/collectives and street artists in a major makeover of Hosier and Rutledge Lanes that celebrates the significant role street art and graffiti continues to play in the cultural life of this city.

 

Located in central Melbourne (between Flinders Lane and Flinders Street and running parallel to Russell Street), Hosier Lane, along with its cobbled ‘anabranch’ Rutledge Lane, first came to prominence as a venue for street art and graffiti in the 1990s. Since then, the walls of the lanes have functioned as an exhibition site for local and visiting international street artists.

 

With the generous support of the NGV and Ironlak, over a period of two massive painting sessions during November both Hosier and Rutledge Lanes will be completely transformed, top to bottom, by over 50 local graffiti and street artists - all of which will culminate in an event in Hosier Lane in homage to Melbourne graffiti and street art.

 

This event is proudly brought to you by Invurt.com, one of Australia's leading online underground art magazines, Just Another Agency, one of Australia's foremost creative management agencies and Land Of Sunshine, a notable Melbourne street art photo blog This team also has the kind support of The National Gallery of Victoria along with Hosier Inc, a community association comprising residents, property owners and artists.

 

To be held on Friday November 29th from 6pm-9pm, the ALLYOURWALLS event will feature live art, music, food and a large animated graffiti piece using 3D mapping technology as highlights of the night, with artists and the public invited to celebrate one of Melbourne’s unique cultural locations, as well as the artists who have made this city’s graffiti and street art a world class treasure.
