Is the workshop held right in the middle of the mosh pit?

While we love the vibe of a live set, the spray cans don't! To keep things safe and ensure everyone can hear the artist's instructions, we usually set up in a dedicated 'creative zone' slightly away from the main stages. This gives punters a chance to catch their breath, get creative, and still hear the bass thumping in the distance while they work on their masterpiece. It's the perfect chill-out alternative.

Do I need to be a good artist to join in?

Not at all! Our Melbourne workshops are designed for everyone from absolute beginners to closet Picassos. Our pro artists will walk you through the basics—from how to hold the can and control the pressure to creating sick fades and sharp outlines. You'll be surprised at what you can achieve in just one session. We're all about having a crack and enjoying the process, so don't be shy!

Will I get spray paint all over my festival outfit?

We’ve got you covered. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and disposable ponchos to keep your festival threads looking fresh. However, graffiti is a bit of a messy business, so we always recommend wearing clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of 'art' on. If you're wearing your brand-new designer gear, maybe tuck it under the poncho extra carefully or come back when you're in your dancing shoes!

Is spraying paint safe in a crowded festival environment?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including P2 masks and gloves. Our instructors are seasoned pros who supervise the area at all times to ensure the cans are used correctly. We also make sure our activation area is well-ventilated, so you can breathe easy while you’re busy creating your next street art legend.

Can I take my graffiti art home with me?

Depending on the festival setup, we offer two main options. You can either work on a massive collaborative mural wall that stays on-site as a piece of festival history, or we can set up individual canvas stations where you can paint a smaller piece to take home. If you're heading back into the crowd, we can even mind your artwork at our stall until you’re ready to head for the gates!

How long does a typical festival workshop session last?

Our festival sessions are usually 'drop-in' style, lasting anywhere from 20 minutes for a quick tag to an hour for a full piece. We keep the energy high and the rotations moving so as many legends as possible get a go. For festival organisers, we can customise the duration to fit your set times and crowd flow perfectly, ensuring there’s never a dull moment at the creative hub.

Do you travel to festivals outside of Melbourne?

While we're locals in Melbourne, the Graffitifun crew is ready to hit the road! We regularly bring our workshops to major events in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. Wherever the music is playing and the vibes are high, we can bring the paint. Just let us know where your event is happening, and we'll hitch up the gear and meet you there for a massive weekend of art.

The experience

Why settle for just another food truck when you can offer a core memory? Bringing a graffiti workshop to your Melbourne festival is a total game-changer for the crowd. Here’s why it works:

Epic Social Content: Your punters will be snapping and sharing their creations instantly, giving your festival massive organic reach on the 'gram. 📸
The Ultimate Chill Zone: It provides a much-needed creative break from the mosh pit, keeping people engaged and on-site longer. 🔥
Authentic Melbs Culture: Pay homage to our city’s iconic street art heritage with a workshop run by actual local legends. 🎤
Inclusivity Plus: Music brings people together, and so does art. Our workshops are designed for all ages, abilities, and skill levels. 🌈
No Stress for You: We bring everything—the paint, the boards, the safety gear, and the talent. You just provide the space! 💪

Step by step

The layout: We scout the festival grounds to find the ultimate spot for the graffiti zone, ensuring high visibility and plenty of airflow.
The gear up: Our crew arrives early to set up heavy-duty floor protection, sturdy easels, or our famous mobile mural walls.
The safety brief: Before anyone touches a can, we give a quick 'Graffiti 101' on how to use the gear safely and respect the art form.
The first lines: Participants grab a can and learn 'can control'—practising dots, lines, and flares to get a feel for the pressure.
The fill-in: This is where the colour happens! Punters learn how to blend shades and create those iconic street art gradients.
The outline: Once the colour is down, we show you how to 'cut' the lines to make the piece pop against the background.
The highlights: Adding those final white glints and 'shines' that give the artwork depth and that professional 3D look.
The photo op: Strike a pose with your creation! It's the perfect content for your socials before you head back to the main stage.
The pack down: We handle the cleanup, ensuring the festival site is left spotless and all materials are recycled or disposed of responsibly.

Good to know

Duration: Flexible sessions from 20-minute 'taster' tags to full 3-hour deep dives.
Group Sizes: We can handle anything from small VIP groups to hundreds of punters throughout the festival day.
Included: High-quality spray paint, P2 safety masks, gloves, ponchos, and professional artist tutoring.
Safety: Full risk assessments provided; we use low-VOC paints and prioritize site cleanliness.
Customisation: We can theme the artwork to match your festival’s branding or line-up.

Local culture

Melbourne isn't just a city; it’s a living, breathing canvas. From the world-famous bluestone cobbles of Hosier Lane to the hidden gems in Fitzroy and Collingwood, street art is in our DNA. We bring that authentic Melbourne 'laneway vibe' to every music festival we attend. Our artists are locals who have grown up watching the city's walls transform, and they bring that deep respect for the craft to your event. We love incorporating local references into our murals—whether it's an iconic W-class tram or a tribute to the local music scene. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know Melbourne was one of the first cities in the world to have a designated 'street art precinct'? This helped us earn the title of one of the street art capitals of the world, right alongside NYC and Berlin! 🏆
