Over the weekend of 19 - 21 May, First Coat Intl’ Art Festival will bring a 30-strong line-up of artists to Toowoomba.

Arriving from across the country and the globe, artists will deliver a program of synergetic art experiences and each add their own mural to the already extensive First Coat Outdoor Gallery.

The gallery currently contains over 80 urban artworks. It is one of the largest galleries of its kind in Australia and is a growing hotspot for arts tourism. It’s a festival worth travelling for.
