Where To Find Sydney’s Best Street Art

As if Sydney wasn’t pretty enough already, a bunch of talented street artists went and made it even prettier with their creative masterpieces. From Newtown, through to Bondi Beach and out to Liverpool, Sydney is covered in glorious street art that makes us swoon.

In celebration of all that art, We have partnered up with Niark1, a French graphic designer, illustrator and artist who creates ah-mazing surreal and psychedelic artworks, who has created some incredible canopies for their strollers. Babies are so cool these days. 

To get in the spirit we’ve scoured the streets to bring you some of Sydney's best street art, so open Google Maps, plan the perfect route and seek out some eye candy, stat!

Newtown

Walk around near Marrickville side of Newtown, find the encore theatre, and behind the street alley ways you’ll find a pot of gold where its legal to paint, and a gallery of anyone keen on finding inspiration through street art.

Jenny Munro Mural On Harbour Street

Chinatown 

A striking mural of Aboriginal rights pioneer and elder, Jenny Munro, was erected last year and she’s been looking over our city ever since. ICYMI, you’re looking for the one with the reflection of a mountain sunrise painted in her eyes. It’s located in the heart of the CBD, so you’ll be spoilt for choice in terms of mid-walk sustenance. Our top recommendations and all of the dumplings in Chinatown, because dumplings are always a good idea. 

Bondi Sea Wall

Bondi Beach

The wall of murals on the boardwalk is a huge drawcard for Bondi Beach, you know, besides the popular coastal walk and the fact that it’s one of Australia’s most beautiful beaches. Local artists travel for two reasons—to make their mark on Bondi or spread a message. Our fave is the world map by Em Carey, followed closely by a dog on a surfboard and hot chips, for obvious reasons. We recommend that you grab a coffee from the window in Bronte before hitting the boardwalk—which is 100% Bugaboo friendly, BTW—to check out the art and try to spot someone from Bondi Rescue (never gets old).

Work-Shop

Redfern 

Work-Shop in Redfern is a revolving door for street artists, both local and international, most recently pulling Nychos to paint one of his huge masterpieces. Work-Shop is also super conveniently located around the corner from Henry Lee’s, who serve up a mean smashed avo and delicious coffee. All that leaves you to do is settle in for a tasty feed before strolling by to check out who’s popped up on the walls of Work-Shop.
