What exactly is live painting for events?

Live painting is an engaging performance where a professional graffiti artist creates a large-scale mural from start to finish during your event. It’s a dynamic way to entertain guests, providing a focal point that evolves throughout the day or night. It’s perfect for adding that 'cool factor' to corporate launches, weddings, or private parties in Wellington.

Is live painting messy or smelly for indoor venues?

Not at all! Our professional artists use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and professional-grade ventilation or outdoor setups where possible. We are very experienced in working within high-end venues across Wellington and take every precaution to protect the surrounding environment with drop sheets and masking. We make it clean, safe, and stunning.

Can we request a specific theme or logo?

Absolutely! In fact, we love it when the artwork represents your brand or theme. You can provide us with logos, specific colour palettes, or a general concept, and our artists will design a bespoke piece that aligns perfectly with your goals. It’s a fantastic way to reinforce your brand identity at a Wellington product launch.

How much space does the artist need?

The beauty of live painting is its flexibility. We can create anything from a standard 2x3 metre canvas to massive hoardings. If space is tight at your Wellington venue, we can work on smaller panels or even custom objects. Just let us know your floor plan, and we will make it work.

How long does a live painting session usually take?

A typical performance lasts anywhere from 2 to 5 hours, depending on the complexity of the design and the duration of your event. We usually arrive an hour early to set up and stay until the piece is finished. We can pace the painting to peak during your keynote or main party hours.

What happens to the painting after the event is over?

The artwork is yours to keep! Many of our Wellington clients hang the finished canvas in their office, auction it off for charity, or give it away as a unique prize. We use high-quality canvases that are easy to transport and ready to be displayed immediately after the event.

We understand the local aesthetic—a mix of sophisticated design and grassroots grit.
