Do participants need previous art experience to join in?

Not at all! Our Napier food festival workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists guide you through every step, starting with basic can control and moving into layering techniques. You’ll be surprised at what you can create in just one session. We provide all the tips and tricks so you can focus on having a blast and making your mark on Art Deco city.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival attendees?

Safety is our top priority while we’re busy having fun. All participants are provided with high-quality gloves, masks, and protective overalls to keep those clothes clean. We use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to control and provide better results for beginners. Our artists are trained in site safety, ensuring the workshop area remains a safe and vibrant environment for all festival-goers.

Is this activity suitable for kids and families?

Absolutely! Our food festival entertainment is designed to be inclusive. We have smaller cans and simpler techniques for the little ones, while adults can dive into more complex shading and letter styles. It’s a fantastic way for families in Napier to create something together between tasting local delicacies. We just ask that younger children are supervised by an adult for the best experience.

How long does a typical session at a food festival last?

The beauty of our food festival setup is its flexibility. We can run rolling 'drop-in' sessions where people join for 15-20 minutes, or scheduled 1.5-hour workshops for those who want a deeper dive into the art form. We’ll work with your festival schedule to ensure the flow is perfect and matches the lunch and dinner rushes of the event!

What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?

We’re pretty hardy, but heavy rain and spray paint don’t mix well! For festivals in Napier, we always recommend having a marquee or sheltered area as a backup. If the weather looks truly 'choice' (in a bad way), we can discuss rescheduling or moving to an indoor space. Don't worry—we have backup plans and backup artists to ensure the show goes on.

Are the materials used environmentally friendly?

We try to be as eco-conscious as possible. We use high-quality paints and ensure all empty cans are collected for proper recycling. We also offer canvases or mobile walls so that the art can be moved, kept, or auctioned off for charity rather than being a permanent fixture. It’s all about creating a positive, sustainable impact on the Napier community and art scene.

What do we need to provide for the workshop setup?

We provide everything! This includes premium spray paint in a rainbow of colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear, and the painting surfaces themselves. You just need to bring your creative energy and maybe an old pair of kicks you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on. We handle the setup, the cleanup, and all the messy bits in between!

Local culture

Napier is world-famous for its incredible Art Deco architecture, but there's a growing appreciation for modern street art that complements our historic aesthetic. From the stunning 'Sea Walls' murals that adorn the CBD to the hidden gems in Ahuriri, Napier has become a canvas for global talent. Our workshops tap into this local passion, giving residents and visitors a chance to contribute to the city's evolving visual story. We love bringing the urban grit of street art to the sophisticated palate of the Hawke's Bay food scene.

Fun Fact: Napier is home to some of the largest street art murals in New Zealand, many of which carry powerful messages about ocean conservation! 🌊
