Is the graffiti workshop safe for primary and high school students?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep everyone safe and clean. Our instructors are professional artists who supervise the group at all times, ensuring the spray cans are used correctly. We also choose outdoor or well-ventilated spaces to ensure there's plenty of fresh air while the kids are busy creating their masterpieces. You're in safe hands with us!

Do the kids need to have any previous art experience?

Not at all! Our Gold Coast after-school workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total newbies to budding young artists. Our instructors break down the process into easy, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques like shading and highlights. By the end of the session, every student will have created something they are truly proud of.

What do we need to provide for the workshop?

Everything is included! We provide all the professional-grade spray paint, caps, safety gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the canvases or surfaces for painting. We recommend that students wear comfortable 'old' clothes and closed-toe shoes, just in case a little bit of 'creative sparkle' misses the apron. We bring the entire studio to you, so you don't have to worry about a thing!

What is the minimum age for participants?

We generally recommend our workshops for children aged 8 and up. At this age, they have the hand strength to operate the spray cans and the focus to follow the safety instructions. However, we can adapt our teaching style for slightly younger groups or older teenagers to ensure the content is engaging and age-appropriate for everyone involved. It's all about making art accessible to everyone!

Where in the Gold Coast do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible! We can host the workshop directly at your school, a local community centre, or at one of our pre-approved street art locations around the Gold Coast. If we are coming to your school, we just need an outdoor area with a bit of space, like a basketball court or a paved quadrangle. We take care of covering the ground to ensure we leave the site exactly as we found it.

How much does an after-school graffiti workshop cost?

The cost typically ranges between A$40 and A$90 per student. The final price depends on the number of participants, the duration of the program, and whether we are painting on individual canvases or a large communal mural. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is complete! For an accurate figure, simply request a custom quote via our website.

The experience

Why choose Graffitifun for your next afternoon session? We make sure every student walks away feeling like a rockstar. Here’s why we are the top choice for schools and youth groups on the GC: 🔥

Pro artists only: Learn from real-deal street artists who live and breathe the culture.
Total safety: We provide top-tier respiratory protection and eco-friendly practices.
Confidence boost: Graffiti is a great equaliser—even kids who "can't draw" find their flow instantly.
Zero stress: We handle everything from setup to clean-up, leaving your venue spotless.
Flexible vibes: We can do one-off "taster" sessions or multi-week programs that end in a massive school mural.
No risk booking: With our backup artist guarantee, your event will never be cancelled! 🏆

Step by step

Safety briefing & gear up: We start by fitting everyone with masks and gloves while explaining the golden rules of spray paint safety.
Intro to street art history: A quick, high-energy talk about how graffiti evolved from underground tags to world-class gallery art.
Can control basics: Students learn how to hold the can, swap nozzles (caps), and manage finger pressure for different effects.
Sketching the design: Before hitting the wall, we help students sketch their ideas on paper or directly onto the surface with light ghost-lines.
Filling and fading: The fun part! Kids learn how to fill in large areas and create cool colour gradients and 'fades'.
The power of the outline: We teach the secret to making art 'pop' by adding sharp, clean outlines around their shapes.
Adding highlights & 'shine': A few white dots and flicks to give the artwork a 3D, glossy professional finish.
The final reveal: We step back as a group to admire the collective work, snap some photos, and celebrate the new skills learned.

Good to know

Duration: Sessions typically run for 1.5 to 3 hours, perfect for afternoon time slots.
Group size: We cater to groups from 10 to 100+ students (we bring extra artists for large groups!).
What's included: Professional spray cans, various nozzles, canvases or boards, masks, gloves, and protective suits.
Location: We are mobile! We come to your school, club, or a local outdoor spot across the Gold Coast.
Safety: Full risk assessments provided; all artists hold valid Blue Cards (Working with Children Checks). 🛡️

Local culture

The Gold Coast isn't just about world-class surf and theme parks; it's home to a rapidly growing street art scene! From the hidden gems in the Southport laneways to the massive murals gracing the walls of the Miami Marketta, the "GC" is a canvas for urban expression. We draw inspiration from the bright, coastal palettes seen at the Surface Gold Coast street art festival to show students how local culture influences art. 🌊🎤

Fun Fact: Did you know the Gold Coast hosts several legal 'Street Art Walls' where artists are encouraged to paint? Our workshops teach kids the crucial difference between illegal tagging and the professional mural art they see around Nobbys Beach!
