Is the graffiti workshop safe for food festival attendees?

Absolutely! We use water-based spray paint options and provide high-quality masks and gloves for all participants. Our professional artists lead every session with a safety briefing to ensure everyone has a blast without any worries. Whether you're in the Octagon or a local park, we make sure the environment stays as clean as your art is cool. It's all about responsible creativity!

What happens if it rains during the festival?

We're experts at 'pivoting'! If the Dunedin weather decides to get a bit 'Scarfie-ish' with some rain, we can set up under gazebos or move the entire activation to a ventilated indoor area. We always have a backup plan ready to go so the creative juices keep flowing, regardless of what the sky is doing. Your event's success is our priority!

How long does a typical session last?

Usually, our festival workshops run anywhere from 20-minute 'taster' sessions to full 3-hour deep dives. For food festivals, we find the 'drop-in' style works best, where people can contribute to a large mural for 10-15 minutes between snacks. We can customise the timing to fit your festival's schedule perfectly — just let us know what you need!

Do you provide all the necessary materials?

We handles everything from A to Z! We bring the spray cans, protective gear, canvases or boards, and even the inspiration. You just need to provide the space and the hungry crowd. We’ll even take care of the setup and pack-down so you can focus on enjoying the delicious food and vibrant atmosphere of your Dunedin event.

Can the graffiti art be themed to match our food festival?

For sure! We love it when festivals have a specific vibe or theme. Whether you want the art to reflect Dunedin's Scottish heritage, local wildlife like the Albatross, or the flavours of the festival itself, our artists can pre-sketch a design that matches your vision perfectly. It’s a great way to make the event feel cohesive and special.

What is the maximum group size you can accommodate?

We work with groups of all sizes! From intimate VIP sessions for 10 people to massive 'community mural' styles where hundreds of festival-goers add their own tag throughout the day. No crowd is too big or too small for us to handle. We scale our team of artists based on your expected attendance to ensure everyone gets a turn.

How do we book and what are the costs?

Getting a quote is super easy! Since every festival in Otago is unique, our pricing depends on the number of participants, the duration, and the amount of paint required. Just use our online Cost Calculator or send us a quick message with your event details. We’re known for being flexible and fair—plus, you don't have to pay a cent until the workshop is done!

The experience

Why settle for a standard food stall when you can offer an immersive creative experience? Adding graffiti art to your Dunedin food festival is the ultimate way to engage the crowd. Here’s why it’s a winner:

Social Media Gold: People can't help but film and share the process of a mural coming to life. It’s instant, organic PR for your festival! 📱
All-Ages Fun: From the little ones to the grandparents, everyone loves the thrill of spraying their first tag.
The "Stickiness" Factor: It gives guests a reason to stay longer, watch the art evolve, and grab another snack while they wait for their turn.
Zero Stress for You: We handle the setup, the mess, and the teaching. You just point us to your spot and let us work our magic. 🪄
Backup Security: We always have backup artists on standby, so your entertainment is 100% guaranteed, no matter what.
Community Connection: There’s nothing like a collaborative mural to bring Dunedin locals together over shared art and good food. 💪

Step by step

Initial shout: Get in touch with us to chat about your Dunedin food festival dates and what kind of vibe you're going for.
Design collab: Our artists work with you to pick a theme—maybe something inspired by the Otago Harbour or your festival’s signature dish.
Setup: On the day, we roll up early to set up the 'Graffiti Zone' with protective flooring, boards, and all the gear.
Safety first: We kit out every participant with masks, gloves, and ponchos so their festival threads stay fresh.
Artist demo: Our pros show off some basic spray techniques—lines, fades, and those essential 'can-control' tricks.
Get stuck in: This is where the magic happens! Your guests start filling in the mural or creating their own mini-masterpieces.
Pro touches: Our artists hover around to offer tips, help with tricky bits, and add those sharp outlines that make the art pop.
The big reveal: Step back and admire the finished wall—a massive, colourful community artwork made right in the heart of the festival.
Pack down: We clean up everything, leaving the site spotless and taking the finished art (or leaving it for you to display!).

Local culture

Dunedin isn't just the 'Edinburgh of the South'; it’s a massive canvas for some of the world’s best street artists. Walking through the CBD, you'll see towering murals that tell the story of Otago’s heritage and quirky soul. We draw massive inspiration from this local scene, and our workshops aim to bring that same street-level energy to your festival. Whether it's the student vibe of North Dundas or the coastal charm of St Clair, we understand the Dunedin 'flavour'. 🔥

Fun Fact: Dunedin is home to a world-renowned Street Art Trail with over 30 massive murals—we love incorporating that same 'city of murals' pride into every festival activation we do!

Pricing

Every food festival has its own unique flavour and scale. Because we tailor our setup to your specific crowd size and requirements, we don't do 'one size fits all' pricing. Instead, we offer bespoke quotes that give you the best bang for your buck.
