Application guidelines
Council plays Cupid!
From small beginnings Perfect Match has fast become one of Australia's best-loved Street Art programs. Originating as a unique initiative tackling unwanted tagging and graffiti, the program has grown to providing mentoring opportunities for emerging artists, fostering legitimate creative expression, and creating meaningful site-specific paintings in public spaces.
Over 170 site specific contemporary artworks have been produced through Perfect Match - our Inner West fast becoming the creative and street art capital of Australia.
The Perfect Match approach brings artists, residents, businesses, property owners and community together to collaboratively create fantastic new street artworks in public places.
Property owners are invited to find their Perfect Match by nominating their wall to be transformed by an artist. Artists submit their portfolios, designs and ideas.
Council then plays Cupid!
