West End will be transformed by some of Brisbane’s most talented street artists in an effort to raise the profile of street art painting several buildings along Boundary Street with large murals.

The festival will also include an arts and design market, live music and a live painting exhibition, showcasing the best Brisbane has to offer in art, design and handcrafted wares.

Bustard (1894 – 1973) was an artist, illustrator and stained-glass window designer, whose work continues to portray an optimistic view of a changing city. On arriving to Brisbane in 1921, he became captivated by the brilliant Queensland light and depicted this unique characteristic of our landscape through his multi-faceted art practice.

Bustard was also acclaimed for his stained-glass designs – a craft which literally captures the light – with many of his detailed hand-drawn designs included in the exhibition.

With more than 70 original works on show, William Bustard: Painting with light offers a new look at this important and much-loved artist.
