Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Not at all! Our Palmerston North food festival workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of spray painting, from how to hold the can to creating cool effects. It’s all about having a go and enjoying the vibey atmosphere while you wait for your next snack. Most people are surprised by how quickly they pick it up!

Is it safe to spray paint at a crowded food festival?

Safety is our top priority while you're enjoying the festival. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your festival outfit fresh and your lungs safe. Our artists are trained in site safety and will ensure the workshop area is well-ventilated and secure. We handle all the setup and pack-down, so you can just focus on the creative fun without any worries.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

For food festival environments, we usually run "drop-in" style sessions that last between 15 and 30 minutes, allowing for high turnover so everyone gets a turn. However, we can also host longer, dedicated masterclasses if your event schedule allows. We’re flexible and can tailor the duration to fit the flow of your Palmerston North event perfectly. Just let us know what works best for your festival's timeline.

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

Absolutely! Our workshops are a fantastic way to draw a crowd and keep them engaged. We can even customise the graffiti wall to include your festival branding, specific food themes, or social media hashtags. It’s a brilliant way to create 'Instagrammable' moments that get your event trending online across Manawatū and beyond. It adds a gritty, urban edge that complements the modern street food scene perfectly.

How much does it cost to book a workshop for my event?

Don't sweat the cost! Because every festival in Palmy is different, we provide tailored quotes based on your expected crowd size and the duration of the event. We offer a "pay after the workshop" policy, so there’s no stress about upfront costs. Use our online Cost Calculator for an instant estimate, or get in touch for a detailed proposal that fits your specific festival budget.

What happens if the Palmerston North weather doesn't play ball? Africa?

We’ve got you covered. For outdoor festivals in Palmerston North, we bring our own pop-up tents or can work within your existing marquees to keep the creative fires burning even if the Manawatū weather turns a bit grey. If things get really wild, we can often relocate to an indoor area. Plus, with our backup artist guarantee, your entertainment is secured regardless of minor hitches.
