Is it safe to have spray paint near food stalls?

Absolutely! We use water-based, low-odour spray paints for indoor setups and provide high-quality ventilation masks if needed. However, since Wellington's food festivals often celebrate the great outdoors, we usually set up in high-traffic open-air spots. Our artists manage the 'overspray' zones strictly to ensure no one's gourmet burger gets a neon makeover—only the canvas gets the art!

How long does the graffiti activation last?

We’re flexible! For food festivals, we typically recommend a 'drop-in' style where people can paint for 10-15 minutes, or a live demo that lasts the duration of the event. If you want a structured workshop, those usually run for 90 minutes. We tailor the timing to match your festival’s schedule and flow.

Do festival-goers need any previous art experience?

Not at all. Our professional artists are there to coach every participant. Whether they are five years old or eighty, we show them the basics of nozzle control and shading. Most people are shocked at how good their work looks after just a few minutes of guidance. It’s all about having a go and having fun.

What materials do you provide for the festival?

Everything is on us! Graffitifun provides the boards or canvases, a massive range of premium spray paint colours, gloves, masks, and protective ponchos. We also bring our own drop-sheets to keep the Wellington pavement pristine. You just provide the space and the hungry crowd, and we bring the creative heat.

Can you theme the graffiti to match our food festival?

We definitely do! If your food festival has a specific theme—like 'Sustainable Seafood' or 'Spicy Fiesta'—we can pre-sketch a massive mural that matches. People then help fill it in, or we can create a custom logo wall for your sponsors. It’s a brilliant way to make the event feel cohesive and 'Insta-ready'.

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

Wellington weather is legendary, so we always have a Plan B. We can move the activation under a marquee or use mobile indoor walls if the wind gets too wild. Our 'no-cancellation' policy means we have backup artists ready to roll, so the creative vibes keep flowing regardless of what the clouds are doing.
