When:
Sat Feb 6, 12-6pm
How much:

Description:
St. Ali is the St Jerome's of the south these days - but don't let that put you off. Aside from the name association and the Cheers-esque drop-in factor, they are way more serious about their coffee and maintain clean, functional bathroom facilities. On top of all that, they've only gone and organised their own laneway party with live mural painting, DJs, BBQ and beer.

Description:
Miso is quite a girl. Out and about sticking it to the man all night, defacing the streets of our fair city, then back to the studio all day making more art, thinking about what it was like back in Kharkov where she's from, painstakingly recreating her Eastern European homeland using only paper, fabric and wood.

Description:
Croft Alley has got to be one of Melbourne's grimiest. Like something out of a dystopian sci-fi movie. Proper disgusting. In other words, it's the ideal location for a street art festival. Don't Ban the Can and Croft Institute (hidden down the very end) have joined forces to showcase the best in laneway art to a soundtrack of hip-hop, afro-funk, soul and dub-step.

Description:
It's Bad News Bears time: Marker Gallery has been 'deaded'. It's going to that great art space in the sky where it can hang with Basquiat and smoke beer bongs with wealthy benefactors. Mind you, it's not going out without a party. Before the doors are shut for realz, Marker Gallery is hosting The Winter Set.
Event: Exhibition

People get so uppity about graffiti. They are cool with bovines with pixellated genitals on billboards, but as soon as they see a tag on a bench, it's the end of the world. I always thought I was above all that, until some guy spray-painted my dad's fence and I was confronted with my own hypocrisy.
Style Wars delves into this subject and illuminates it in a well-rounded way that has never been topped since its release in 1983.

Description:
Look, what's up with this honestly? WorkSafe Victoria has hired internationally renowned sculpture and stencil artist D*Face to perform his signature 'sticking two fingers up at the establishment' schtick in order to promote their new campaign. This is the kind of WTF scenario that Naomi Klein was trying to warn us about, but we didn't listen because her book was too long.
