Wall to Wall Festival, Australia’s most beloved regional street art celebration, returns this April for a vibrant weekend of colour, creativity, and community. Curated and produced by the renowned Juddy Roller—the team behind landmark projects like the Silo Art Trail and Collingwood Housing Project—this year’s event will see Mordi Village in Mordialloctransformed into a spectacular open-air art gallery from Saturday 5 to Sunday 6 April.
The 2025 program brings together ten of the world’s most exciting street artists, who will double the precinct’s existing mural count. These large-scale works will turn walls, laneways, and unexpected corners into captivating visual experiences, breathing fresh life into the bayside village. From abstract wonderlands to hyper-detailed realism, this year’s muralists promise a diverse and exciting showcase of global talent and local storytelling.
Festival-goers can look forward to headline artist Drez, whose immersive “portal” artwork invites viewers into dreamy, otherworldly dimensions. Internationally acclaimed Smug will deliver jaw-dropping, hyper-realistic pieces, while Minna Leunig—a Victorian artist and daughter of the late Michael Leunig—will present poetic, thought-provoking works. LA-based muralist and illustrator Lauren YS, celebrated for their bold exploration of identity and queerness, will turn a vintage 1980s Porsche 911 into a moving psychedelic artwork.
Joining the lineup are artists such as Bidju, a First Nations creative fusing traditional motifs with contemporary design, and Ellen Porteus, whose hyper-colour aesthetic blends illustration, animation, and mural art. Claudio Mantuano, a local Kingston favourite, adds a playful touch, while graffiti legend Sofles showcases his intricate and technically ambitious murals. Rounding out the list are Jason Parker, known for his vibrant, emotionally charged palette, and Jasmine Crisp, an emerging painter from Adelaide whose oil-based works explore identity, memory, and culture.
More than just murals, Wall to Wall offers an immersive cultural experience. Visitors can enjoy guided art tours, interactive workshops, market stalls, face painting, and live music, along with a community “paint-by-numbers” wall perfect for families. Mordi’s local art space Le Studio will also feature works by 12 local artists, and festival partner St Felix will launch a custom gin bottle designed by Drez. Held on the final weekend of daylight savings and the start of the school holidays, Wall to Wall is the perfect way to celebrate the transformative power of street art by the bay.
