The BIG Picture Street Art Festival, Australia 2018

Frankston city centre’s skyline has just been transformed, thanks to the first Big Picture Fest, that took over the city from 23rd until the 25th March 2018.

Frankston is an outer-suburb of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia, in the local government area of the City of Frankston. It is located 55 km south-east of the Melbourne city centre, above the Mornington Peninsula. Due to its geographic location, it is often referred to as “the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula”.

The three day festival brought Australian street artists, Loretta Lizzio (Victoria), Dvate (Victoria), Lucy Bonnin (South Australia), Tristan Kerr (Victoria), Zedr (Victoria), Order55 (South Australia) and Glaswegian artist Smug to transform drab walls in high profile locations across Frankston’s city centre.
