How does this program actually help prevent vandalism in Rotorua?

Our anti-vandalism program is specifically designed to shift the focus from illegal tagging to creative street art. We teach participants the difference between destructive vandalism and constructive public art. By providing a proper outlet and professional guidance, we empower youth and community members in Rotorua to respect their environment and express themselves through legal, beautiful murals instead of messy 'scrawls'. It’s about building pride in our local community.

Do I need to be a 'good artist' to participate in the workshop?

Absolutely! No prior artistic skill is needed to join a Graffitifun session. Our professional artists break down the basics of can control, lines, and shading into easy-to-follow steps. We find that many people who think they aren't 'artistic' are actually naturals with a spray can. Our goal is to make everyone feel like a pro by the end of the day while fostering a positive relationship with public art.

Is the workshop safe for teenagers and younger participants?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all necessary protective equipment, including high-quality FFP2 face masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. All our paint is professional-grade and used in well-ventilated outdoor or large indoor spaces. Our instructors are experienced in managing groups safely and ensuring that everyone follows proper handling procedures for the equipment at all times.

How long does a typical anti-vandalism workshop last?

Most of our anti-vandalism workshops in Rotorua run for approximately 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the theory of legal street art, practice basic techniques on plastic wrap or boards, and then move on to creating a larger collaborative project. We can adjust the duration to fit your specific schedule, whether it's an intensive afternoon or a shorter introductory session.

What do we need to bring with us on the day?

We've got you covered! All materials are included in the price. We provide the spray cans in a wide variety of vibrant colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear, and the surfaces we’ll be painting on. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little dusty, and we’ll handle all the logistics and cleanup afterwards.

Where in Rotorua do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible with locations! We can host the workshop at various outdoor spots around Rotorua, or if you have a specific venue in mind—like a school yard, community centre, or a private wall—our mobile team can come to you. If the weather looks a bit 'kiwi' (unpredictable), we have several indoor-friendly options and backup plans to ensure the creativity doesn't stop just because of a bit of rain.

How do we book, and what happens if we need to cancel?

Booking is easy and stress-free with Graffitifun. You can request a quote via our website without any upfront payment. We pride ourselves on reliability and have a professional team of backup artists ready to go, so you won't have to worry about last-minute cancellations. Once we agree on a date and group size, we take care of the rest, and you only pay after the workshop is complete.

The experience

Why choose our anti-vandalism project here in Rotorua? It's more than just painting a wall; it's about shifting mindsets and building community pride. Here’s why it works:

Pro artist mentors: Learn from real street artists who know the game and how to channel talent legally. 🎤
Practical skills: From can control to colour theory, we teach techniques that produce actual art, not just scribbles.
Community pride: Participants feel a sense of ownership over the legal murals they create, reducing the urge to tag.
Zero-stress booking: We handle the setup, the gear, and the cleanup. You just bring the enthusiasm! 💪
Safety first: We use top-tier protective equipment so everyone stays clean and safe while getting creative.
A local focus: We understand Rotorua's unique vibe and tailor our sessions to fit the local community spirit. 🏆

Step by step

Intro and theory: We kick things off with a chat about the history of street art and the impact of vandalism on the Rotorua community.
Design session: Grab a sketchpad and pen! Participants brainstorm ideas and learn how to plan a piece before the paint starts flying.
Safety briefing: We suit up in masks and gloves, learning the 'golden rules' of using spray cans safely and responsibly.
Mastering the lines: Practice makes perfect. We start with basic lines, dots, and 'fading' techniques on a practice wall.
Filling and backing: Learn how to fill in large areas efficiently and how to choose colours that pop against the background.
Defining the piece: This is where the magic happens—we add outlines and highlights to make the artwork look sharp and professional.
Collaborative mural: Everyone works together on a large-scale project, putting their new skills to use for a positive cause.
Reflection and wrap-up: We admire the finished work and discuss how legal street art can continue to benefit the local area.

Local culture

Rotorua is a city famous for its geothermal wonders and rich Māori culture, but it’s also becoming a hub for contemporary creativity. From the murals in the CBD to the hidden gems in the suburbs, street art is part of our modern landscape. We believe that by teaching our rangatahi (youth) the skills of professional artists, we're not just preventing property damage—we're encouraging a new generation of storytellers. This program respects the unique aesthetic of Rotorua, blending traditional influences with modern urban techniques. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Rotorua’s name comes from the Māori 'Te Rotorua-nui-a-Kahumatamomoe'? Just as those early explorers named the land, we help you 'name' your style through legal art! 🎨

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as unique as the art you'll create! Because every group in Rotorua is different, we don't do 'one-size-fits-all' pricing. Costs depend on your group size, the location, and the specific goals of your anti-vandalism session. The best part? No upfront payment is required—you only pay after the workshop is done and everyone is stoked with the results.
