How long does a typical graffiti cultural event last?

Our workshops usually go for about 2 hours, which is the sweet spot for learning the basics and finishing a masterpiece without getting 'spray finger.' We can adjust the timing for shorter festival slots or longer, more intensive masterclasses depending on your event schedule. We'll always work around your itinerary to make sure everything runs smoothly and fits the Queenstown pace.

Do I need to be artistic to join in?

Not at all! Our Queenstown artists are experts at guiding absolute beginners. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, nozzle control, and basic lines—before moving onto the creative stuff. Whether you're a stick-figure expert or a secret Da Vinci, you'll walk away with something you're proud of. It's all about having a go and enjoying the process!

Is it safe, and what gear do you provide?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective ponchos to keep your clothes clean. We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paints and always conduct a safety briefing before any cans are shaken. Our team ensures the workshop area is well-ventilated and that everyone follows the 'spray-safe' rules while having a blast.

What happens if the Queenstown weather doesn't play ball?

Graffiti is surprisingly weather-friendly! If there's a light drizzle, we can often work under cover or use gazebos. However, if Queenstown puts on a real Southern Alps storm, we have backup plans. We can move the event indoors using special low-pressure cans or large canvases, or we can look at rescheduling to a clearer day. We’ll never let a bit of rain dampen the creative spirit.

Can you host the workshop at our specific venue?

Absolutely! While we love the vibe of our outdoor spots, we can bring the workshop to you. We've held events at hotels, community halls, and private venues across Otago. We just need a well-ventilated space and permission from the venue owner. We take care of all the floor and wall protection to ensure we leave the place exactly as we found it—minus the new art!

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We're pretty flexible! We can cater to intimate groups of 10 or large-scale cultural festivals with hundreds of participants. For very large groups, we bring in extra professional artists to ensure everyone gets enough 'can-time' and guidance. Whether it's a small team-building session or a massive community activation, we've got the crew and the paint to handle it.
