Caledonian Walls

Graffiti was a huge part of the St. Jerome’s. Once the bar became busier, each wall became more and more a spider web of tags and scrawls. As street art in Melbourne blossomed, so did the talent on the walls surrounding the bar. Over the years, dozens of artists were invited to add to collection; Everfresh (Rone, Reka, Meggs, Sync, Makatron, Wonderlust) were in constant rotation, as were Two One, Bonsai, Phibs, Kid Monkey, Dirtee Sanchez III, Kab101, Mic Porter, Drew Funk, Pets (Tai Snaith), Aeon, Deb, Itch and the Awol Crew.
