Do I need to have any artistic skills to participate?

Not at all! Our workshops at Newcastle food events are designed for everyone, from toddlers to grandparents. Our pro artists guide you through basic spray techniques and safety, so you'll be creating a masterpiece in no time. We focus on 'controlled' graffiti, ensuring a fun, successful result even if you’ve never held a spray can in your life. It’s all about the experience and having a blast!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for kids and food environments?

Your safety is our priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective ponchos to keep your clothes clean and your lungs happy. We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paints. For food festival environments, we can set up specialized extraction fans if we're in a semi-enclosed space, though outdoors is usually best. Our instructors are fully trained in workspace safety so you can focus on the fun.

Can you set up the workshop at any location in Newcastle?

Absolutely! We are fully mobile and love bringing the color to Newcastle’s iconic spots. Whether you are hosting a BBQ festival at Foreshore Park or a gourmet market near Honeysuckle, we bring everything we need: the boards, the paint, the gear, and the talent. We just need a flat area and a little bit of breathing room to get the creative juices flowing.

What is your payment policy for festival bookings?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexible payment policy. You don't have to pay anything upfront to secure your date. We believe in our service so much that you only pay after the workshop is complete and everyone is stoked with the results. This makes booking for large festivals or corporate-sponsored food events completely stress-free for organisers.

What happens if it rains on the day of the food festival?

While we love the vibe of a sunny Newcastle day, we’ve got you covered if the clouds roll in. We can set up under gazebos or move the activation to a well-ventilated indoor space. Our 'No Cancellation' guarantee means we have backup artists ready to go, and we always have a Plan B for the weather to ensure your festival entertainment doesn't skip a beat.

Can participants take their artwork home with them?

Depending on the festival format, participants can either work on a massive communal mural—which creates a stunning piece of 'live art' for the event—or they can spray individual canvases or trucker hats that they get to take home as a unique souvenir. We can even customise the designs to include the name of your food festival or your brand’s logo!

How far in advance should we book for a major event?

We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for popular Newcastle weekend events, but we are known for our flexibility. Because we have a large team of professional artists across the region, we can often accommodate last-minute requests. Just reach out via our cost calculator or contact form, and we'll get back to you with a quote and availability within 24 hours.

Local culture

Newcastle has always had a bit of grit and a lot of heart, and its street art scene is no different. From the iconic murals in Cooks Hill to the hidden gems around Wickham, the "Steel City" has transformed into a vibrant outdoor gallery. We love bringing our workshops to this city because Newcastle locals truly appreciate the raw, creative energy of the streets. Whether your event is overlooking the surf at Nobbys Beach or tucked away in the industrial-chic lanes of the West End, our graffiti activations fit the local aesthetic perfectly. ✨

Fun Fact: Newcastle is home to the 'Big Picture Fest,' an international street art festival that has seen world-class artists turn massive silos and city buildings into incredible works of art. By adding a graffiti workshop to your food festival, you’re tapping into a deep-rooted local passion for public creativity!
