We are a passionate group of volunteers and street art enthusiasts who have come together to document, celebrate, and share Dunedin's vibrant street art scene.

While we are not officially affiliated with any government organisation or the city council, our love for Dunedin's urban art landscape drives us to create resources that help others discover and appreciate these incredible works.

Dunedin holds a special place in New Zealand's art history as home to the country's first public Art Gallery and first Art Society. This pioneering spirit continues today through our evolving street art scene. The transformation began when Belgian artist ROA brought his distinctive style to Bath Street, creating his now-iconic tuatara. This was followed by UK artist Phlegm, whose mythical creature with Kakapo-like features and historical maritime scene—complete with sailing ships and waka—captured our city's essence and history.

What started as individual works has grown into something much bigger. Local enthusiasm has turned our streets into an open-air gallery, with international artists now seeking opportunities to leave their mark on our city walls. Our focus has naturally gravitated toward the Warehouse Precinct, where art and heritage buildings create a unique urban tapestry.
