Flare Ōtautahi Street Art Festival is a bold and vibrant celebration of public art in the heart of Christchurch, proudly produced by ARCC (Action, Reaction, Christchurch City) — a creative collective dedicated to reimagining our city through arts and culture. Each year, Flare transforms streets into living galleries — working with local and international artists to create large-scale murals, graffiti jams, exhibitions, workshops, and activations that are free and accessible for all. Our kaupapa is rooted in storytelling, community, and representation. We believe street art can connect people, energise spaces, and shift perspectives — bringing life, pride, and creativity to Ōtautahi. From alleyways to rooftops, Flare champions creativity in unexpected places, amplifying the voices of artists who reflect the diverse communities that call this city home.
