The Melbourne of Queensland – well that’s Toowoomba. Its Victorian Era laneways are rife with a gritty urban scene personified by a myriad of coffee shops, eateries and of course bright urban art. Indeed Toowoomba’s laneways provide a canvas for renowned local, national and overseas street artists to showcase their skills.
A regional city in the heart of a rich agricultural area Toowoomba often is associated with rural themes, yet inner city urban grunge is more characteristic of the cities CBD. No where is this more personified in the cities laneways, many of which are lined with the art of the inner city – graffiti / street art. Over 80 street art murals can be found in the cities laneways, many, a legacy of the hugely successful First Coat Festivals that ran in Toowoomba last decade (TRC Let’s bring it back).
Spray Paint Murals, Graffiti, 3D wall graffiti, Stencil art, are but some of the street art genres visible when you stroll Toowoomba’s laneways.
