Do we need to be 'artistic' to host a graffiti fundraiser?

Our graffiti workshops are designed for everyone! You don't need any prior art experience or 'talent' to participate. Our professional artists guide your donors and guests through the basic techniques of can control, fading, and outlining. By the end of the session, even those who have never touched a spray can will have contributed to a vibrant piece of art for your Johannesburg charity.

How do you handle safety and protective gear?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every participant to ensure nobody gets paint on their clothes. We use professional-grade spray paint that dries quickly. Our artists also provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying, ensuring a controlled and secure environment for your Joyannesburg event.

Can we auction off the artwork created during the event?

Absolutely! Whether you want to auction off individual canvases created by guests or create one massive collaborative mural that represents your organisation's mission, we tailor the output to your goals. Many charities in South Africa use the final mural as a permanent installation in their offices or sell the pieces during a live auction to raise additional funds.

Where in Johannesburg can we hold this workshop?

We are flexible with locations! We can host the event at your charity's headquarters, a rented community hall, or an outdoor space. If you don't have a venue, we can help suggest locations in Joburg that allow for graffiti activities. We use floor protection and mobile 'graffiti walls' (cellophan wrapped or wooden panels) to ensure we leave the venue exactly as we found it.

How long does a typical charity graffiti session last?

A standard charity workshop usually lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This allows enough time for the intro, practice sessions, and the final creation of the mural or canvases. However, we can adapt the timing for 'drop-in' style events where guests participate for shorter periods throughout a festival or gala day. We work around your specific event schedule.

What exactly is included in the workshop package?

We provide everything needed for a successful creative session. This includes a wide array of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear for all participants, and the surfaces to paint on (canvases or temporary walls). You just need to provide the enthusiastic crowd! We even bring backup artists to ensure everything runs smoothly without a hitch.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next charity drive? It’s more than just paint on a wall—it’s an engagement strategy that works. Here is why Jozi charities love working with us:

🔥 High engagement: Unlike silent auctions, this gets people moving, talking, and laughing together.
🎨 Tangible results: You end up with a stunning piece of art that can be auctioned off or displayed in your facility.
💪 Inclusive fun: It doesn't matter your age or skill level; anyone can learn to spray a basic tag or fill in a stencil.
📸 Social media gold: Street art is incredibly "Instagrammable," helping your fundraiser go viral and reach more donors.
🎤 Unique branding: We can incorporate your charity's logo and colours into the mural design for a professional finish.

Step by step

Consultation: We chat about your charity's goals, the cause you're supporting, and the vibe you want for your Joburg event.
Theme design: Our artists help you choose a theme or message that resonates with your mission and will inspire your donors.
Setup: On the day, we arrive early to set up the mobile walls, lay down protection, and prep the spray cans and safety gear.
Intro & demo: We start with a high-energy demo, teaching your guests the basics of 'can control' and graffiti techniques.
Practice round: Everyone gets a chance to test the cans on a practice wall to get their confidence up.
Main creation: Participants work together, guided by our pros, to create a stunning mural or individual street art pieces.
Fine tuning: Our lead artists add the professional finishing touches to ensure the final product looks incredible for your auction or display.
Reveal: We take a big group photo with the finished masterpiece—perfect for your social media and donor newsletters!

Local culture

Johannesburg is a city with street art in its DNA. From the world-famous murals of Maboneng to the vibrant alleys of Newtown, graffiti has always been a way for Joburgers to express hope, resilience, and change. When you choose a graffiti charity event here, you're tapping into the authentic heartbeat of the Golden City. We celebrate this local grit and creativity in every workshop we host.

Fun Fact: Did you know Johannesburg is home to some of the largest street art murals in Africa? The "City of Gold" uses public art to tell stories of its complex history and its bright, diverse future. 🎨
