Frankston's Street Art Tours Engage Locals With Growing Mural Collection

Frankston's Street Art Walking Tours earned gold in the Australian Street Art Awards for three consecutive years from 2021 to 2023 and entered the Awards Hall of Fame in 2023. This record draws continued local attention to the tours as a way to experience the suburb's public artworks.

Established Murals and Festival Additions

The suburb hosts over 100 murals by local and international artists. The annual Big Picture Fest, also called the Frankston Street Art Festival, has added roughly 10 new monumental artworks every year since 2018. These steady additions provide fresh points of interest that residents reference when discussing accessible arts experiences in the area.

Broader Arts Institutions

Major arts institutions include the McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park, founded in 1971. The gallery and park complement the street-level murals by offering another established venue for viewing large-scale works, giving locals multiple options within the same creative network.

The combination of the award-recognised tours, the yearly festival output and the long-standing sculpture park creates a stable set of reference points for conversations about Frankston's arts offerings. No new timelines or attendance figures appear in current records, yet the pattern of annual additions since 2018 keeps the topic active among residents who follow public art updates.

Those interested can check the Imagine Frankston site for current tour details and festival dates. The McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park maintains its own schedule for visitors seeking indoor and outdoor sculpture experiences alongside the street murals.
