Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival-goers?

Absolutely! Everything we use is professional-grade but totally safe for beginners. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your festival threads clean. Our artists take safety seriously and will give everyone a proper briefing before the first spray can is even shaken. It’s all about having a good time while staying safe in the Darwin sun. Proprietary water-based options are also available for indoor setups.

What kind of space do you need at the festival?

We’re pretty flexible! We can set up a large-scale temporary 'wall' using stretch plastic or wooden panels, or provide individual canvases for a 'paint and take' style experience. All we need is a bit of space and some fresh Darwin air. Whether it’s a grassy patch at Mindil Beach or a paved area near the Waterfront, we bring everything required to create a pop-up urban art studio.

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

We’ve got you covered. For outdoor festivals in the Top End, we always plan for the heat and the occasional tropical downpour. We can set up under marquees or use quick-dry techniques. Plus, we have backup artists ready to go, so if someone gets caught in a 'big wet' delay, the show will definitely go on. We’re locals at heart and know how to handle the NT climate!

Can we customise the art to match our food theme?

Of course! That’s actually one of our specialties. People love seeing a giant mural of a laksa bowl or a stylized mud crab come to life. We can pre-sketch a food-themed design that attendees help fill in, or create a completely custom piece that features your festival's branding and sponsors. It’s a brilliant way to make the event feel cohesive and super Instagrammable.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

We usually recommend sessions between 1.5 to 3 hours for the best experience, but for festivals, we often run 'drop-in' style stations that last the whole day. This allows hundreds of people to contribute to a single masterpiece or spend 15 minutes making their own small tag. We’re happy to tailor the timing to fit your specific festival schedule and flow.

Do I need to book in advance for a festival workshop?

While we do take walk-ins at festivals, for larger groups or specific corporate hospitality tents within the festival, it's best to book ahead. This ensures we have enough paint and instructors to give everyone a great experience. For event organisers, get in touch a few weeks out so we can sort the logistics, permits, and custom designs to make your Darwin food event truly legendary.

Local culture

Darwin is a city that lives and breathes outdoors, from the bustling stalls of the Mindil Beach Sunset Markets to the hidden gems in the CBD. The street art scene here is exploding, with massive murals already decorating our laneways and reflecting our mix of Indigenous, Asian, and Aussie cultures. Bringing a graffiti workshop to a Darwin food festival feels like a natural extension of our laid-back, creative lifestyle. Imagine painting a vibrant tropical scene while the smell of charcoal-grilled satay wafts through the air!

Fun Fact: Darwin hosts one of the biggest street art festivals in the Southern Hemisphere, turning the city into a giant open-air gallery every year. We love keeping that spirit alive at every local event we touch! 🐊
