How long does a live painting performance usually take?

Our live painting sessions in Christchurch are incredibly flexible! Depending on the complexity of the design and the duration of your event, a performance can last anywhere from 2 to 6 hours. We work with your schedule to ensure the masterpiece is completed right as your event reaches its climax, providing a steady flow of entertainment for your guests from start to finish.🎨

Is it messy or smelly to have live painting indoors?

Not at all! Our professional Christchurch street artists use high-quality, low-odour water-based spray paints and specialized markers for indoor events. We also bring professional ventilation equipment and protective floor coverings if needed. We’ve performed in high-end hotels, galleries, and corporate offices across New Zealand without leaving a trace or a smell behind—just awesome art!✨

What happens to the artwork after the event ends?

That’s the best part—you get to keep it! Once our artist puts the finishing touches on the piece, the artwork is yours to hang in your office, auction off for charity, or give away as a grand prize. It’s a permanent memento of your epic Christchurch event. We can even paint on multiple smaller canvases so different departments can take a piece home.🏆

Can the artist include our company logo or a specific theme?

Absolutely. We can incorporate your company colours, logos, specific slogans, or themes that represent Christchurch’s unique heritage. Our artists will chat with you beforehand to sketch out a concept that aligns perfectly with your brand identity while still maintaining that authentic, edgy street art vibe that makes live painting so engaging.🔥

What happens if the artist can't make it to the event?

We understand that plans can change. One of the biggest perks of booking with Graffitifun is our artist backup system. We have a network of professional muralists across NZ, so if your primary artist falls ill, we’ve got a talented backup ready to step in. You’ll never be left with an empty wall on your big day!💪 consultant

The experience

Why choose a live painting performance for your Christchurch event? It’s more than just "decor"—it’s a dynamic storytelling tool that connects your brand or celebration to the heart of the city's culture. Here’s why we’re the top choice for live art: ✨

Engagement Magnet: Guests naturally gravitate towards the artist, creating a central social hub at your event.
Customised Content: We weave your brand story, event theme, or Christchurch landmarks into the artwork.
Zero Stress: From 3D street art to indoor canvases, we handle all setup and cleanup.
Reliability: With backup artists on standby, your event entertainment is 100% guaranteed.
Shareable Moments: Live painting is "Instagram gold," ensuring your event trends on social media.
The Afterglow: You’re left with a high-value piece of art to display permanently. 🏆

Step by step

Initial kōrero: We start by discussing your event goals, the Christchurch venue, and the vibe you’re going for to ensure the perfect match.
Concept design: Our artist creates a mockup or mood board based on your brand, theme, or specific Garden City inspiration.
Logistics planning: We handle the boring bits—risk assessments, floor protection, and ensuring we have the right gear for the Christchurch weather.
Set up: Our team arrives early at your venue to set up the "stage," whether that's a large canvas, a mobile wall, or even a vehicle!
The performance: The magic begins! Our artist starts the piece, engaging with the crowd and turning a blank space into art in real-time.
Interactive moments: If you like, we can invite guests to add a few strokes or "tag" the background under professional guidance.
The grand reveal: As your event winds down, the final masterpiece is unveiled, providing the perfect backdrop for photos.
Pack down: We clean up everything, leaving your Christchurch venue exactly as we found it—plus one incredible new artwork.

Local culture

Christchurch is a city that literally rebuilt itself through the power of street art. Following the earthquakes, the city became a global hub for muralists, with the CHIHE festival and various street art trails turning broken walls into beacons of hope. At Graffitifun, we draw inspiration from the resilient creative spirit found in places like the SALT District and the iconic murals scattered around High Street. We love bringing that same urban energy to your private events, celebrating the unique blend of heritage and modern innovation that defines "Ōtautahi" today. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Christchurch was named one of the street art capitals of the world by Lonely Planet? Our live painting brings that world-class street cred directly to your function! 🎤

Pricing

We believe high-end event entertainment should be accessible. Our interactive live art experiences generally range from NZ$45 to NZ$95 per person, while solo performance packages are tailored to the scale of your project. We pride ourselves on transparency—no hidden fees, and you don't have to pay a cent until the workshop or performance is locked in! 💸
