Fremantle is about to get a lot more colourful. From 28 November to 13 December, PIAZZA Fremantle at 36 South Terrace will host artists from the US, Poland, Spain, Germany, the UK, Colombia and France. They will paint alongside Western Australian talent, and you can watch the murals take shape live.
The works will cover 925 sq. m. of walls, laneways and gathering spaces. After the festival ends, they will remain as PIAZZA Walls, a permanent public art trail in the middle of Fremantle.

The international lineup includes El Mac and Jeks (USA), Bezt (Poland), Dulk (Spain), James Bullough (Germany), Aylo (UK), Erre (Colombia) and Remi Tournier (France). Several of them will create art in Australia for the first time.
Smug (Scotland-based) and Stormie Mills (Italy-based) return to Australia for the project. Local artists Hayley Welsh, James Giddy, Hope and Starsan complete the lineup.
Their walls join existing pieces in the precinct by Bordalo II (Portugal), Aéro (France), Ketones6000 and ArtbyRow.
Each artist has been asked to respond to five themes: human connection, rebellion and expression, moments of joy, people and legacy, and place and identity.
What you can do
The festival is free and open to people of all ages and abilities. Beyond watching the artists at work, the public program includes artist talks, workshops, and guided tours.
The centrepiece is the PIAZZA Walls Block Party, with live painting, music, entertainment, and food and drink.
“PIAZZA Walls is much more than a festival. It’s an investment in Fremantle’s creative future,” said PIAZZA owner Bronwyn Owen. The precinct has been building its creative community since September 2025.
Blank Walls, the street art studio behind No More Blank Walls, produced the festival with PIAZZA. Founder Jerome Davenport calls it the organisation’s most ambitious festival to date. Previous editions usually featured one or two international headliners, while this one brings one of the largest international lineups the studio has assembled. “We’re not simply filling blank walls, we’re helping shape the next chapter of a precinct that has already committed itself to creativity and culture,” he said.
