Street art does not traditionally go hand in hand with school. Nor do railway operators often embrace the fine mist of a spray can or the stroke of a paintbrush on their lines. Yet, despite the unlikely match, Queensland College of Art has partnered with Queensland Rail to take art out of the classroom as part of a new new fine art elective.
Led by Simon Degroot, the first cohort of the elective – known as The Street – has transformed 34 metres of wall in Brunswick Street into contemporary street art in conjunction with Queensland Rail’s Positive pARTnerships community art program.
