On August 1, Australia will host its 5th annual Melbourne Stencil Festival, featuring works by established and emerging artists from Australia and around the world. The 10-day long festival will showcase a wide variety of colorful exhibitions, artist live demonstrations, artist talks, panel discussions, workshops, master classes and street art related films.

Over the past four years, Stencil Festival has featured some 800 works by 150 artists including Logan Hicks, Kenji Nakayama, Broken Crow, Mephisto Jones, Sixten, and Australian artists Anthony Lister, Meggs, HaHa, Vexta amongst others. For many artists, it has been their first major exhibition and a launching point for their career.
