FUNDING for Australias innovative annual street art event, Wall to Wall Festival, has now been assured and the festival will once again be brought to Benalla. Jaclyn Symes (MLC, Northern Victoria) has confirmed $125,000 in State Government funding for the world class street art festival running from March 9-12. The festival will bring together a dynamic combination of local, national and international artists to create new murals across four lively days over the 2018 Labour day long weekend. Ms Symes said the Benalla Wall to Wall Festival has now become the regional street art capital of Australia, thanks to the support of the local township and the amazing artworks by leading street artists, and renowned international artists. The festival brings thousands of people to my beautiful home town, boosting the local economy and supporting local jobs, she said.Licensed by Copyright Agency.
