Join the artistic legacy, leave your mark on the iconic Bondi Beach Sea Wall

Since the late 1970s, the Bondi Beach Sea Wall has been a vibrant canvas, showcasing a lively mix of street and contemporary art with powerful social and political messages. Over the years, this iconic spot has become a home for some of the world’s most renowned street artists. The Sea Wall has featured everything from painting and stencils to pop art, love notes, and touching memorial portraits.

Two murals have been especially cherished by the community and are preserved for the long term with the support of Waverley Council. These include “The Girl with a Frangipani in Her Hair,” dedicated to local girl Chloe Byron who tragically lost her life in the 2002 Bali bombing, and a moving Anzac commemorative mural.

To keep Bondi’s spirit alive and ever-evolving, the Sea Wall art is regularly refreshed. Each panel is given a six-month window to shine. The best part? The Bondi Beach Sea Wall is open to artists of all backgrounds and from all corners of the globe. If you’re feeling inspired and want to contribute, you can apply online to paint your own mural here.

Full terms and conditions are available here.

Applications are open year-round and assessment panels are convened to review applications every six months for painting permits.
