How does a festival graffiti workshop differ from a regular one?

A music festival workshop is all about high energy and freedom! Unlike our private sessions, these are designed for high-traffic flow. We use large custom-built walls and plenty of spray cans so festival-goers can drop in, learn a quick technique, and leave their mark on a massive collaborative masterpiece. It’s less about a structured lecture and more about the raw, creative 'vibe' of the event.

Is it safe and do we get messy?

Safety first, always! Graffitifun provides high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective ponchos to keep your festival outfit looking sharp. Our professional artists oversee every spray to ensure everyone stays safe. We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paint, but we always recommend doing the workshop in an open-air environment—which is perfect for Queenstown’s outdoor festival scene!

Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely not! Whether you are a seasoned sketcher or haven't picked up a pen in years, our artists will guide you. We start with the basics of 'can control' and simple lettering. You’ll be surprised how quickly you can create something that looks epic. It’s all about having a go and enjoying the rhythm of the music while you paint.

How long does a typical session last?

We are quite flexible! A standard drop-in session for a festival attendee usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes to learn a tag or a fill-in. However, the workshop area remains active throughout the festival day. For organisers, we recommend scheduling 2 to 4 hours of active workshop time to maximise engagement and ensure the mural gets fully completed.

What equipment is included in the workshop package?

We provide everything! This includes a massive range of premium spray cans in every colour of the rainbow, nozzles (caps) for different effects, protective gear, and the 'canvas' itself—usually a large wooden wall or a heavy-duty film set up. All we need from the festival organisers is a flat space and a crowd ready to get creative. No hidden costs or extra gear required.

What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?6

We aren't afraid of a bit of 'Southern Man' weather! If there is light rain, we can often operate under marquees or gazebos. However, if the weather turns truly wild, we have backup plans including indoor 'canvas-based' workshops or rescheduling options. Because we have backup artists on standby, we are incredibly reliable and rarely have to cancel an event due to scheduling conflicts.

The experience

Why settle for the same old food trucks and merch stands? A graffiti workshop brings a unique edge to any Queenstown music festival. Here is why you should get us involved:

Massive Engagement: It’s a hands-on experience that keeps the crowd buzzed between sets. 🔥
Epic Social Media Content: A giant, colourful mural is the ultimate 'Instagrammable' moment for your festival hashtag. 📸
No Stress for Organisers: We bring everything—from the cans to the cleanup. You just provide the space!
Inclusive for Everyone: Young, old, seasoned pro or total beginner—everyone can contribute to the wall. ✨
Unbeatable Reliability: With backup artists and years of experience, we guarantee we’ll be there, rain or shine.
Professional Vibe: Our artists aren't just talented; they are entertainers who know how to work a festival crowd. 🎤

Step by step

The briefing: Grab your gear and meet our pro street artists at the graffiti zone. We'll give you a quick rundown on safety and how to handle the cans like a pro.
Concept & sketches: We look at the festival theme. Whether it’s 'Alpine Vibes' or 'Electric Beats', we’ll help you sketch out a design that fits the mood.
First lines: Pick your base colour and learn how to 'outline' your piece. This is where you get the feel for the pressure of the spray nozzle.
Fill-in fun: This is the best part! Use bold colours to fill in your shapes. Our artists will show you how to layer paint for a solid, vibrant look.
Shadows & 3D: Learn the tricks of the trade to make your graffiti pop off the wall. We’ll teach you how to add shadows and 3D effects for that professional finish.
The highlight: Add those final 'power lines' and highlights. This is what makes your art stand out under the festival lights.
Signature move: Every artist needs a tag. Finish your work by signing your name or pseudonym in true street art style.
Group photo: Step back and admire the massive collaborative mural. It’s the perfect backdrop for your festival photos!

Good to know

Duration: Flexible sessions from 1.5 to 3 hours, or full-day festival activations.
Group Sizes: We can handle anything from small groups of 10 to rotating crowds of hundreds throughout the day.
Included: All spray paint, specialized nozzles, masks, gloves, overalls, and professional artist guidance.
Safety: We strictly follow NZ health and safety guidelines. All artists are trained in crowd control and eco-friendly paint disposal.
Location: We are mobile! We come to your festival site in Queenstown, Glenorchy, or Arrowtown.

Local culture

Queenstown isn't just about bungy jumping and skiing; it’s a melting pot of global culture and creative energy. From the hidden gems of street art in the CBD alleys to the vibrant 'Luma' light festival, Queenstown loves a bit of visual flair. The local scene is inspired by the dramatic alpine landscape, often blending natural themes with gritty urban styles. Painting here feels different—the crisp mountain air and the backdrop of Lake Wakatipu provide an inspiration you won't find in Auckland or Hamilton.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Queenstown has several 'legal walls' where local artists are encouraged to express themselves? Our workshops respect this culture, teaching the difference between 'tagging' and the respected craft of 'street art' in the Otago region. 🏔️
