Dunedin Street Art Trail
DunedinNZ
As a UNESCO Creative City, Dunedin has a rich history in the arts and making it freely available to enjoy. Home to NZ’s first public art gallery and art society, it was only a matter of time before Dunedin jumped on the street art movement, taking art out of the galleries and into the streets.
The Dunedin Street Art Festival kicked things off in 2014 when local and international artists were invited to add some colour and culture to ten city walls. Now, murals are popping up all over the city, with more than 50 pieces of commissioned work in Central Dunedin alone.
Venture down laneways, past heritage buildings, find hidden microbreweries, boutique shops or grab a coffee (or two) along the way. Tackle the trail in sections, do it in loop, or pick out a few of your favourites – either way, it’s a great way to soak up the stories of Dunedin, or simply admire the abstract.
