Have you seen our line-up for the festival? We are so excited that seven street artists from across NZ will be converging on our inner city to unleash their creativity on seven major walls & spaces across the CBD.

Its the premiere of FLARE - our new Annual Street Art Festival in Ōtautahi, brought to you by SALT District and ARCC - and we're super proud to present a hugely talented roster featuring Japan's KORYU, New Zealand's Elliot Francis Stewart, Kell Sunshine, Swiftmantis, IKARUS, Kophie aka MEEP and Wongi.
