Frankston hosts street art festival showcasing local talent

Frankston has turned into an outdoor gallery for the 2025 Frankston Street Art Festival, running until March 23. The event features large murals and projection art from both local and international artists. Visitors can observe artists at work and take guided walking tours to learn more about their creative processes. One of the standout artists is Jasmine Crisp from Adelaide. Her mural, located in Park Row, reflects her share-house experience, showing beauty in everyday life. She describes Frankston as a unique place with a high concentration of quality street art. Another artist, Trent Downie, from the Mornington Peninsula, finds inspiration in local landscapes. He has returned to the festival as a full-time artist after previously working as an electrician. Downie's piece this year honors those who document street art and showcases the area's natural beauty. The festival also features various other talented artists, including Damien Arena and Tommy Day III. This weekend, a free block party will take place in Gallery and Stiebel Lanes, offering food, drinks, and music from DJs. The festival celebrates the growing street art culture in Frankston and invites everyone to enjoy the vibrant displays.
