Howard Smith Wharves
BSAF began its partnership with Howard Smith Wharves during the precinct’s revitalisation, delivering a curated program of large-scale murals by leading international and local artists, and bringing the festival program on-site through the annual Felons x BSAF Party at Felons Barrel Hall — a multi-arts celebration of live mural painting, music and performance.
The once-industrial site was reimagined with public art that became central to its distinctive identity and appeal. Together, the permanent works and recurring festival activations deepened community connection and helped elevate Howard Smith Wharves into one of Brisbane’s most recognisable and visited destinations — delivering long-term value for both the precinct and the city.
