Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

No artistic experience is needed at all! Our professional street artists specialize in helping everyone, from total beginners to creative pros, find their rhythm. We’ll show you exactly how to handle the spray cans, control the pressure, and layer colours like a pro. Music festivals are about letting go and having fun, and our graffiti experience is designed to be the most inclusive and chill activity on the grounds. You’ll be making magic in no time!

Will I get paint on my festival clothes?

Not a problem! We provide high-quality protective gear including overalls, gloves, and shoe covers to keep your festival outfit looking mint. We also use low-pressure spray cans that are much easier to control, significantly reducing any accidental overspray. While we recommend not wearing your absolute favourite silk shirt just in case, our gear does a great job of keeping you clean while you focus on the art.

What happens if it starts raining during the festival?

We love Rotorua, but we know the weather can be a bit 'moody' sometimes. If the rain clouds roll in, we usually set up under large professional gazebos or within the festival's indoor zones. We always have a backup plan with our artists to ensure the creative vibes keep flowing, rain or shine. If the festival carries on, so do we! Safety and fun are always our top priorities.

How long does the graffiti experience take?

The workshop session itself usually takes about 90 minutes to two hours, which is the perfect amount of time to get stuck in without missing your favourite headliner. However, for music festivals, we often run 'drop-in' style sessions where you can contribute to a massive communal mural for as long or as short as you like. It's totally flexible to fit your festival schedule!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality spray paint and provide all necessary safety equipment, including FFP2 masks to ensure you aren't breathing in fumes. Our instructors are professional artists who are experts in site safety. We make sure the workspace is well-ventilated and that everyone follows basic safety rules so the only thing you have to worry about is your masterpiece.

How much does a festival graffiti workshop cost?

Pricing for festival workshops is quite bespoke because it depends on the number of attendees, the amount of paint used, and the scale of the canvases or walls we are working on. We don't require any payment upfront—you can settle everything after the event. For an accurate estimate tailored to your festival's specific needs and group size, just flick us a message for a quick quote!

Do you offer workshops in other New Zealand cities?

We sure do! While we love bringing the heat to Rotorua, our crew travels all across Aotearoa. Whether your music festival is popping up in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, or Hamilton, Graffitifun is ready to bring the spray cans and the vibes. We have a solid team of backup artists as well, so you can count on us to show up and deliver an epic experience no matter where you are.
