The collection includes such street-art luminaries as Marcsta (Marc de Jong), Dlux (James Dodd), HaHa (Regan Tamanui) and Vexta (Yvette Bacina). Their designs will be the focus of an exhibition at the NGA late next year. The 300 stencil designs by more than 30 artists explore the explosion in Melbourne's street art between the 1990s and 2004, before Melbourne City Council undertook a widespread graffiti clean-up operation before last year's Commonwealth Games.

The Melbourne Stencil Festival is Australia's premier celebration of International street and stencil art. Since being its inauguration in 2004, Stencil Festival has become an annual art event and touring exhibition. Held for 10 days each year, the festival brings a colorful program of exhibitions, live artist demonstrations, artist talks, panel discussions, workshops, master classes and street art related films to the general public.
