Wall to Wall Festival Benalla 2017
We're back!
What an amazing journey 2015 and 2016 has taken us on!
This year Benalla Street Art Committee along with Juddy Roller have a HUGE Wall to Wall Festival 2017 planned for you. Our mission is to make Benalla the Street Art Capital of Australia - but we need your love and support to get there!
For all the up to date happenings for 2017, check out our dedicated festival website here. You can see the program, all the amazing artists that are coming up, and book tours. You should also come like us on Facebook so that you can hear the latest festival news.

Why do you need more money?
We have action-packed plans and ideas that we want to bring to life, and even though we've had more luck with funding grants this year, we are dreamers and we want this festival to be amazing!
This year we want you to enjoy a festival vibe with live music and DJ to help you get in the groove, with live music going through the day and until 11pm Saturday night. This year we have given our support to FREEZA to put on a youth event with musicians rocking the skate park where we have multiple murals happening. We have covered the cost of workshops for the community, and have a professional street art tour guide coming up from Melbourne (bookings essential, click here for more information) to give you the best tour experience and update info on our amazing and talented artists.
And the Artists! Such a PHAT line up! We are going to have more artists than ever before which means more walls being painted, as well as the inclusion of sculpture and pavement art. We've got artists from all over the world, and a few incredible local artists representing too.
In short, it's going to be massive.
We've asked a lot of favours from the community over the last two years of the Wall to Wall festival, and we've had some amazing musicians come and play for free, but this year we're trying to pay our way to ensure that the festival can be sustainable.
Want to be even more involved?
There are heaps of volunteering opportunities over the weekend if you have some free time and want to be up close and personal with all the action - just send us a message on our social media platforms.
How The Funds Will Be Used
We are balancing our fundraising with a strong desire to give you the best value rewards we can think of, and we have some great quality merchandise and unique experiences to offer this year.
Of course we also have to factor in the fees from crowdfunding, so we think our end result is going to look a little like this.
The Challenges
After two incredibly successful festivals in 2015 and 2016, we are pretty confident that we can pull this off and make it amazing. Of course there are always speed bumps along the way, but no matter what the 2017 Wall to Wall festival will be back bigger and better than ever, with an incredible community wall project.
Let's make this happen together!
With thanks to Streamline Media for our great crowdfunding video, and griff for the music.
