Do participants need previous art experience to join?

Not at all! Our professional New York City graffiti artists specialize in guiding beginners through the entire creative process. We start with basic safety and can-control techniques before moving on to sketching and fill-ins. Whether your donors are 'stick-figure' artists or seasoned painters, we provide the tips and tricks needed to ensure everyone walks away feeling proud of what they've contributed to the cause. It is about the fun and the impact!

Is the graffiti workshop safe and clean?

We take safety seriously, especially during high-energy NYC charity events. Graffitifun provides high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits for all participants to keep clothes clean and lungs safe. We typically host these events in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large studios. Our spray paints are selected for quality, and our artists supervise every single spray to ensure a secure, enjoyable environment for all of your guests.

How long does a charity graffiti session last?

Flexibility is key for successful fundraisers. A typical session lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. We can structure this as a 'drop-in' station where guests contribute to a mural throughout your gala, or as a timed, high-stakes 'graffiti battle' designed to drive up donations. We’ll work with your event timeline to ensure the street art experience fits perfectly between your speeches, auctions, and networking.

Can we auction off the artwork created during the event?

Absolutely! In fact, we recommend it. One of the best ways to raise extra funds is by auctioning off the completed canvases or the final collaborative mural at the end of the night. Because the art is created by the community or your VIP donors, it carries immense emotional and sentimental value, often leading to generous bids that go directly toward your New York charity's goals.

Where in New York City can we hold the fundraiser?

We bring the party to you! While we have partner locations across Manhattan and Brooklyn, we are fully mobile. We can set up at your chosen venue, a local park (with permits), or even your office courtyard. Our team handles the setup of mobile graffiti walls and protective flooring, making it easy to transform almost any New York City space into a vibrant, temporary street art gallery.

What is the maximum group size for a charity event?

Our graffiti workshops are incredibly scalable. We can accommodate intimate groups of 10 for a VIP donor experience or manage large-scale crowds of 200+ for community festivals or block party fundraisers. For larger groups, we bring in additional professional artists and set up multiple stations to ensure everyone gets a chance to pick up a can and make their mark without waiting in long lines.

Do we have to pay everything upfront?

We don't want anything to stand in the way of your fundraising goals. Unlike many vendors, Graffitifun doesn't require upfront payments or deposits to secure your date. You can book with confidence knowing that you pay after the workshop is complete. This helps your organization manage cash flow more effectively leading up to your big event. We believe in our service and your satisfaction is our top priority!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your New York City fundraiser? Because it’s more than just art—it’s an unforgettable experience that builds community and excitement. Here’s why we’re the perfect partner for your cause:

Unbeatable Engagement: Instead of watching a slideshow, your donors are actively creating. This hands-on participation creates a deeper emotional connection to your event. ✨
Social Media Gold: A vibrant graffiti wall in the middle of Manhattan is a magnet for photos. Your guests will be sharing their creations (and your hashtags) across Instagram and TikTok all night long!
A Tangible Legacy: The finished mural can be displayed in your office, gifted to a major donor, or auctioned off for a high-ticket price to boost your bottom line.
Stress-Free Planning: We handle all the logistics—from plastic flooring to protective gear—so you can focus on your donors while we handle the "mess."
Authentic NYC Vibes: Give your guests a real taste of New York street culture that feels edgy, modern, and purposeful. 🏆
Guaranteed Fun: Our "100% satisfaction focus" means we don't stop until your guests are smiling and your goals are met.

Step by step

Consultation & Vision: We start by chatting about your charity’s mission and the specific goals for your New York City fundraiser. We’ll brainstorm how to weave your cause into the art.
Setup & Prep: On the day of the event, our team arrives early to set up mobile walls, drop cloths, and all the gear. We ensure your venue stays pristine while we get messy.
Artist Demo: Our professional NYC street artists kick things off with a high-energy demo, showing donors the basics of spray painting—from 'fat caps' to 'shadowing.'
The Big Tease: We engage the crowd! We explain how their participation translates into support for the cause, getting everyone pumped to grab a can.
Collaborative Creation: Donors and attendees step up to the wall. Under our guidance, they add their unique touch to a massive, cohesive mural that represents your organization.
Final Refinement: While the guests mingle, our pros add "the glow"—clean outlines and highlights that make the artwork look gallery-ready and professional.
Photo Op & Reveal: We host a grand reveal of the finished piece. This is the perfect moment for social media photos and high-energy speeches about your fundraising progress.
Auction or Display: Whether you’re auctioning the piece on the spot or keeping it for your headquarters, we help prepare the art for its next destination.
The Wrap Up: We handle the entire cleanup process. You’re left with amazing memories, a great piece of art, and a boosted donation total!

Local culture

New York City is the indisputable birthplace of modern graffiti. From the legendary trains of the 70s to the world-renowned murals of the Bushwick Collective and the streets of the Lower East Side, street art is baked into the city's DNA. When you host a charity event in NYC with us, you aren't just doing a fun activity; you're tapping into a legacy of expression that has defined the Five Boroughs for decades. 🍎

NYC Fun Fact: The legendary 5Pointz in Queens was once known as the "Graffiti Mecca" of the world! While the physical building is gone, its spirit lives on in the vibrant street art scene that continues to thrive across the city today.

Our local artists live and breathe this culture, ensuring your fundraiser feels authentic and connected to the heartbeat of the city. We love bringing that gritty, beautiful New York energy to organizations that are working hard to make our city—and the world—a better place.
