Street Art in Melbourne
Melbourne street art was born around the 1970’s and 1980’s as a form of expression amongst the city’s disillusioned youth. Inspired by the graffiti art of New York, the young Melbourne ‘artists’ adorned the walls of many suburban neighbourhoods, tram lines and suburban train stations with their creations that represented frustrations, hopes, and dreams.
