Street Art

Take a walk through central Timaru and discover a vibrant outdoor gallery that transforms the city’s walls into living stories. From bold contemporary works to deeply symbolic murals, our CBD has become a canvas for some of Aotearoa’s most talented artists.

Each artwork reflects Timaru’s unique identity – its people, its history and its deep connection to the natural world. See The Shelter by Flox, a striking tribute to Te Maru (the shelter), rich with native flora and fauna. Pause at Kaupapa by Toothfish, a thought-provoking piece connecting our oceans to everyday life. Discover nostalgic blooms in Wall Flowers and the breath of nature in Breath of Life.

These artistic treasures are made possible thanks to the ongoing support of the Timaru Civic Trust, a passionate group dedicated to celebrating and preserving our town’s heritage, stories, and cultural identity. Their vision and funding have helped bring this public art trail to life, blending history and creativity in the heart of our city.

Whether you’re an art lover, a curious explorer, or simply enjoying a stroll through town, Timaru’s street art trail invites you to see the city with fresh eyes. It’s free, it’s inspiring, and it’s proudly ours.

Wander. Discover. Be inspired.
