Fremantle is set to become an open-air gallery this summer, with PIAZZA Fremantle preparing to host the PIAZZA Walls x No More Blank Walls Festival from 28 November to 13 December 2026.
The festival will bring together 18 Australian and international street artists, who will create 15 large-scale murals across the walls, laneways and gathering spaces of the PIAZZA Fremantle precinct at 36 South Terrace.
The project will transform the precinct into a large-scale open-air gallery and permanent public art destination, with visitors able to watch the artworks take shape in real time and meet the artists behind the works.
Global artists, local stories
PIAZZA Walls is being presented as a celebration of creativity, culture and community, bringing internationally recognised street artists together with the distinctive character of Fremantle.
Featured artists include Australian-born, Glasgow-based artist SMUG, known for his monumental freehand photorealistic aerosol murals; French artist Rémi Tournier, whose large-scale figurative works explore everyday people, places and moments; and Spanish artist Dulk, recognised for vibrant, dreamlike works inspired by wildlife and nature.
The full festival program will feature live mural painting, artist talks, workshops, guided tours, an outdoor cinema and more.
A program for the community
Alongside the murals, a number of events will give visitors opportunities to engage directly with the artists and the creative process.
The Artist Panel on Friday 4 December will provide an opportunity to hear from artists involved in transforming PIAZZA Fremantle, including insights into their practices, inspirations and the stories behind their work.
A free, family-friendly Festival Block Party will take place on Saturday 5 December from 3pm to 9pm, featuring DJs, live murals, food stations, kids' activities and an art battle.
Visitors can also take part in Guided Walking Tours from 30 November to 6 December, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the festival and the opportunity to see murals in progress and meet the artists.
Supporting Fremantle's creative and visitor economy
For Fremantle businesses, events such as PIAZZA Walls provide another reason for locals and visitors to spend time in the city, explore its precincts and experience the creative culture that makes Fremantle distinctive.
The festival's combination of public art, live events, food, workshops and entertainment is expected to add to the city's vibrant summer atmosphere and provide another attraction for people visiting Walyalup/Fremantle.
PIAZZA Walls x No More Blank Walls runs from 28 November to 13 December 2026 at PIAZZA Fremantle, 36 South Terrace, Walyalup/Fremantle.
