How long does a typical after-school graffiti session last?

Our after-school workshops in Darwin usually run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives the kids plenty of time to learn the basics, practice their can control, and complete their main masterpiece without feeling rushed. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and creativity flowing before they head home for dinner!

Is it safe for kids to use spray paint?

Safety is our number one priority. All participants are provided with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep clothes clean. Our professional artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-odour, professional-grade paints and conduct all workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas to ensure everyone breathes easy while they create.

Do the students need any previous art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, especially beginners. Our Darwin artists are experts at breaking down complex street art techniques into easy-to-follow steps. Whether your child is already a budding Picasso or hasn't picked up a brush since preschool, we'll guide them through the process so they walk away with something they are truly proud of.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We've got you covered! Graffitifun provides everything needed for the ultimate street art experience. This includes all the spray cans in a huge range of colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear, and the surfaces we'll be painting on (usually large boards or canvases). You just need to make sure the kids show up in comfortable clothes and shoes they don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on.

What is the minimum age for participants?

We generally recommend our workshops for kids aged 8 and up. At this age, they usually have the hand strength to operate the spray cans and the focus to follow the creative instructions. However, we are very flexible! If you have a slightly younger group or a mix of ages, just let us know and we can adapt our teaching style to suit.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

Darwin's weather can be unpredictable, but the fun doesn't stop for a bit of rain! We always have backup plans. We can move the workshop to a sheltered outdoor area or, if necessary, reschedule to a better day. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we are very reliable and almost never have to cancel a session entirely.

How do we book and when do we pay?

Booking is super easy. You can use our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate, or simply send us an enquiry through our contact form. We don’t require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is completed and everyone is happy. Once we confirm the date and location in Darwin, we handle all the logistics from there!

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your Darwin after-school program? It's more than just a bit of paint; it's a game-changing experience for the kids!

🔥 Unmatched engagement: Let's be real—nothing beats the excitement of using a spray can for the first time. It keeps even the most restless kids focused!
🎨 Confidence boost: Seeing a massive piece of art come together gives students an incredible sense of achievement and pride.
🤝 Teamwork in action: Our collaborative murals require communication and planning, teaching kids how to work together toward a massive goal.
🛡️ Safety first: We handle all the "scary" stuff. We're pros at managing groups and ensuring everyone stays safe and clean.
🌟 Zero stress for you: We bring everything, set it all up, and clean it all up. You just provide the space and the kids, and we do the rest!

Step by step

Intro and safety chat: We start with a high-energy intro and a quick rundown on how to use the gear safely and respectfully.
The tag creator: Students learn the history of 'tags' and use our techniques to design their own unique street art alias.
Can control basics: Our pros demonstrate how to hold the can, swap nozzles (caps), and manage pressure for different line widths.
Sketching the masterpiece: We move to the big boards where everyone sketches out their main design using 'ghost lines'.
Filling in the colour: This is where the magic happens! Kids learn how to fill large areas smoothly and create cool gradients.
Outlining and details: We teach the trick to 'cutting' sharp edges and adding those final pops of detail that make the art stand out.
Character and flair: Students add bubbles, shines, or background patterns to give their work that authentic street vibe.
The final reveal: We step back for a group photo session with the finished wall—perfect for the school newsletter!
Pack up and clean up: We handle all the messy bits, leaving the site exactly as we found it (except for the awesome art, of course).

Local culture

Darwin might be famous for its incredible sunsets and crocs, but its street art scene is absolutely kicking! From the world-class murals of the Darwin Street Art Festival that decorate the CBD to the hidden gems in the Northern Suburbs, the city is a tropical canvas. Our workshops tap into this local 'Territory' spirit—bold, adventurous, and unique.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Darwin hosts one of Australia's biggest annual street art festivals? Many of the massive murals you see on Austin Lane were painted by international artists, and our instructors draw inspiration from these very walls! 🐊🔥

We love including local Darwin motifs in our workshops, from magpie geese designs to tropical floral patterns, ensuring the kids feel a real connection to their home city while they spray.

Pricing

We believe in transparent, fair pricing for our Darwin workshops. Our rates generally range from A$40 to A$90 per person.

The final price depends on a few factors like the number of participants, the amount of paint required, and whether you want individual canvases for the kids to take home or one giant collaborative mural. The best part? No upfront payment is required—we only invoice you once the workshop is done and everyone is stoked with the result!
