Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival-goers?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your festival gear clean. Our professional artists supervise every session to ensure everyone uses the spray cans correctly. We choose well-ventilated outdoor areas for our festival setups, making it a safe, breezy, and enjoyable environment for everyone from kids to adults to get stuck in.

Do I need to be artistic or have spray painting experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our local artists will guide you through the basics, from how to hold the can to mastering 'fats' and 'skinnies' (different nozzle widths). By the time the beat drops on the main stage, you'll have created something you're proud of. It's all about having a go and expressing your unique style in the heart of Palmy.

How long does a typical festival workshop session last?

We’re flexible! For music festivals in Palmerston North, we usually run 'drop-in' style stations where people can paint for 15-20 minutes, or scheduled 60-90 minute deep-dive workshops. This ensures a high turnover so plenty of punters get a chance to spray. We can tailor the timing to fit your festival's schedule, whether it’s a one-day gig or a weekend-long event.

What do you actually paint on at a music festival?

We’ve got you covered. We can provide massive temporary wooden walls, mobile canvases, or even cool objects like old cars or shipping containers to paint on. After the festival, these can be displayed as a legacy of the event, or we can arrange for eco-friendly disposal. We bring everything including the paint, so you don't have to worry about the logistics.

What kind of materials do you provide?

We use premium, low-odour professional spray paint that offers incredible coverage and vibrant colours. We also provide a huge range of 'caps' (nozzles) that allow for different effects. Because we care about the Manawatū environment, we aim to use lead-free paints and ensure all empty canisters are recycled properly after the event. Quality gear makes for a much better artist experience!

What happens if it rains during the event?

Rain doesn't stop the creativity! If the Palmerston North weather decides to play up, we can set up under gazebos or marquee tents. Spray paint actually adheres quite well in various conditions, and our artists are pros at adapting. We always have a backup plan to ensure the 'fun' part of Graffitifun stays true, no matter what the clouds are doing.

How much does it cost to book Graffitifun for a festival?

Because every festival in Palmy is unique, our pricing is bespoke. It depends on the number of expected participants, the duration of the festival, and the amount of paint and wall space required. We offer a 'pay after the workshop' peace of mind policy and provide instant quotes via our cost calculator. We're committed to providing a high-value, high-energy activation for your event.

Local culture

Palmerston North—or "Palmy" as we locals call it—has a sneaky-good street art scene that’s been growing for years. From the hidden gems in the laneways near George Street to the massive murals that celebrate our Māori heritage and student culture, the city is a canvas waiting to be explored. We love bringing our workshops here because the Manawatū community has such a 'can-do' (pun intended!) attitude. Music festivals here, like the Festival of Cultures or local uni gigs, have a unique energy that perfectly matches the spontaneity of graffiti.

Fun Fact: Did you know Palmerston North was once the site of some of NZ's earliest legal graffiti jams? The city has a deep-rooted respect for urban art that makes festival-goers here extra keen to get involved!
