What should I wear to the graffiti workshop at a food festival?

We suggest wearing old clothes and comfortable sneakers that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. Although we provide high-quality protective gear like ponchos and gloves, it’s a food festival and a graffiti workshop—things can get a little messy when you're having this much fun! Check out our Sydney or Brisbane locations for similar dress code tips, but for Melbourne, definitely bring an extra layer for that 'four seasons in one day' weather.

Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our team of professional Melbourne street artists is there to guide you every step of the way. We start with the basics of can control and lines before moving on to filling and detail work. Most people who join us at food festivals have never touched a spray can before, and they always walk away amazed at what they've created. It’s all about having a go and enjoying the creative vibe.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival-goers?

Safety is our top priority. All participants are provided with masks, gloves, and protective clothing. We use professional-grade spray paint in a well-ventilated outdoor setting, usually within the festival grounds. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying to ensure a fun and secure environment for everyone, from kids to adults. We've run safe, successful activations in Perth and Adelaide with the same high standards.

Can we customise the graffiti theme to match our food festival?

Definitely! We love tailoring the workout to the festival's theme. Whether you want a giant mural of a burger, a stylised coffee cup, or a specific brand logo, our artists can prep the canvases or walls to match. This makes the graffiti station feel like a seamless part of the event rather than just an add-on. It's a great way to boost your festival's brand identity.

How long does the graffiti experience take?

A standard session for a single participant usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes, allowing for high turnover and making sure as many festival guests as possible get a turn. However, for larger murals or dedicated VIP sections, we can offer longer, more in-depth sessions. We’re flexible and can adapt the timing to suit the flow and foot traffic of your specific Melbourne event.

Is there an age limit for the workshop?

We generally recommend our workshops for ages 6 and up. It’s a fantastic way for families at food festivals to engage in something creative together. For the younger kids, we focus on simple shapes and bright colours, while the older bunch can get stuck into more complex lettering and shading. It’s a hit with the kids’ party crowd and families alike!

Do I need to pay anything upfront when I book?

No stress there! We don't require any payment upfront to secure your booking. We believe in our service and want you to be 100% satisfied. You can settle the payment after the workshop is completed at the festival. This makes the booking process easy and risk-free for event organisers who are busy juggling a million other festival logistics. Just request a quote to get the ball rolling!

Local culture

Melbourne isn't just a city; it's a living, breathing gallery. From the iconic Hosier Lane to the hidden corners of Fitzroy, street art is in our DNA. By bringing a graffiti workshop to your food festival, you're tapping into the very soul of the city. We celebrate the local "Burn City" style, blending it with the vibrant energy of our local markets and food scenes. It’s about more than just paint; it’s about the community coming together to create something beautiful while enjoying a snag or a fancy souvlaki.

Fun Fact: Did you know Melbourne was one of the first cities in the world to embrace street art as a legitimate cultural asset? It’s why people travel from all over the globe just to walk through our colourful laneways! 🎨
