Street Art
From the ‘lady on the wall’ at Honeysuckle to some epic multi-story pieces by well known artist Matt Adnate, the street art scene is not only alive and well but mature and sophisticated. Loved by locals, visitors and with the public support of the City’s Lord Mayor, it will only grow over time. We’re excited to see what will pop up next.
The ‘Woman on the Wall’ at Honeysuckle
woman on the wall
On the back of a hotel down in the Honeysuckle precinct (near the Corner of Workshop Way and Merewether Street) you can find one of the best known works of art in Newcastle, the ‘Woman on the Wall’. The intensity of the eyes draw you in. Who is the woman and what is on her mind?

Matt Adnate
The Bolton Street carpark in Newcastle East was not much to look at until Matt Adnate came along. The Melbourne born artist has a passion for painting Indigenous culture through his own lens and has made a dramatic impression on the City of Newcastle.
Heart Shaped Box
Heart in a brick
Walk down a dead-end laneway off Pacific Street in Newcastle East and you will find even in the smallest ways and expressions, Newcastle is full of Heart!
Mr Monopoly
Beresford Street
You can find this interesting character in Beresford Street just East of the Newcastle Interchange in Wickham. Artist unknown but his face is full of character, a smile, he’s clearly intelligent and well his ear piercing is well, very Newcastle.
