Street Art Covered on the Tour
Melbourne Street Art:
This post is always being updated! Keep checking back for more.
Melbourne is increasingly getting a reputation as having some of the best street art in the world! Here I want to tell you some of the best places to check some of it out, as well as introduce you to a few of the best artists!
Hosier Lane: Hosier Lane is arguably one of the most famous places in all of Melbourne. Located between Flinders Street and Flinders Lane, just a two minute walk from Flinders Street Railway Station it is very easy to get to. There is a bit of an unwritten rule that artists will not paint over each other unless they think they can do a better job, so you tend to see a really high quality of artwork here. My particular favourite is the piece by Matt Adnate of a young Indigenous boy looking out over the city, up very high on one of the buildings.
ACDC Lane/Duckboard Place: Another very high quality street art laneway combo. ACDC Lane and Duckboard Place connect up so it is a bit of a horseshoe around. Much of the street art is musical, and ACDC Lane is home to the (in)famous Cherry Bar.
Croft Alley: Like everything good in Melbourne this is incredibly well hidden away.
Union Lane: Considered a beginner street art laneway, the art is not as high quality as some of the others. However it is a very dynamic place and there are always people painting in there! Most likely place to see artists doing their thing!
Sniders Lane: Great mural up on the wall and keep an eye out for the hidden bar at the end of the laneway!
Meyers Place: Mike Macatron as part of the 'Green Laneways Project' of Melbourne has painted an amazing jungle mural. Definitely check it out!
