How long does the workshop experience usually last?

Our music festival packages are super flexible! Typically, we run open "drop-in" sessions throughout the day where festival-goers can contribute to a massive mural, or timed 45-minute workshops for those who want a deeper dive. We work with your event schedule to ensure the graffiti zone is pumping during set breaks and peak times. It’s all about keeping the good vibes flowing between the music acts.

Is it safe and what about the mess?

Safety is our top priority while everyone is having fun. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective ponchos to keep those festival outfits clean. Our professional artists supervise every spray, ensuring the cans are used correctly and safely. We also use low-odour, high-quality paints wherever possible to keep the site comfortable for everyone nearby. Just bring your creative energy, and we'll handle the rest!

Do people need any previous art experience?

Absolutely! That’s the beauty of graffiti. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or have never touched a spray can in your life, our crew will show you the ropes. We guide participants through basic techniques like 'fats' and 'skinnies' so they can contribute something awesome to the collective mural. It’s a zero-judgment zone where the main goal is to get stuck in and enjoy the process.

What do we need to provide as festival organisers?

We are totally self-sufficient! The Graffitifun crew brings everything: the boards or canvases, hundreds of cans of premium spray paint, caps, safety gear, and even the music if you need it. All we need from the festival organisers is a flat space to set up and, ideally, some shade if the Tauranga sun is beaming down. We make the logistics easy so you can focus on the music.

Can the mural be themed to match our festival?

We certainly can. If your music festival has a specific theme, colour palette, or a message you want to promote, our artists can pre-sketch a massive outline for the crowd to fill in. This creates a cohesive, breathtaking piece of art that looks professional while still being 100% community-made. It’s a brilliant way to reinforce your festival branding in a way that feels authentic and cool.

What happens if an artist can't make it?

No worries at all! We’ve got a deep roster of backup artists ready to roll. We know that festivals are high-stakes events and 'the show must go on.' If an artist falls ill or has an emergency, we have a fail-safe system to ensure a professional graffiti pro is on-site and ready to spray. You can book with us with total peace of mind.

Can we keep the artwork after the festival ends?

That’s purely up to you! Many festivals keep the finished boards to display at future events, auction them off for charity, or even use them as epic photo backdrops for the next day. If you don't have a use for them, we can arrange for the removal and recycling of the materials. Most organisers love keeping them as a permanent memory of an epic weekend.

The experience

Adding a graffiti zone to your festival isn't just about the art; it's about the atmosphere. It gives people a chance to engage their senses, meet new mates, and try something they've only ever seen from a distance. Here’s why it’s a game-changer for your next Tauranga event:

Massive visual impact: A giant, colourful mural growing throughout the day creates an evolving centerpiece that catches everyone's eye. ✨
Social media gold: People love snapping photos of themselves with a spray can in hand. It’s instant, organic festival promotion! 📸
Inclusive for everyone: Age, background, or skill level doesn't matter. In the Bay, everyone’s an artist when they’ve got a can of paint. 🤝
Professional vibes only: Our crew are seasoned pros who know how to manage a crowd and keep the energy levels high. 🔥
Stress-free logistics: We bring everything, set it up, and clean it up. You just provide the space and we provide the magic. 🏆
No-risk booking: With no upfront payment and backup artists always on standby, your event's entertainment is in safe hands. 💪

Step by step

Initial creative consultation: We chat about your festival's vibe, expected crowd size, and where we can set up the most impact.
Custom mural design: Our artists can create a themed sketch that acts as a 'paint-by-number' guide for festival-goers.
On-site setup: We arrive early at the Tauranga venue to set up the protective flooring, canvases, and our rainbow of spray cans.
Live demonstrations: Our pros start the day with some live painting to catch the crowd's eye and build the hype.
Gearing up: Participants get fitted with gloves, masks, and ponchos—safety first, but make it fashion!
The technique crash course: We teach the locals how to handle the can, manipulate the pressure, and swap nozzles like a pro.
Collaborative painting: The magic happens! Hundreds of festival fans add their unique touch to the massive communal wall.
The final polish: Our lead artist adds the finishing outlines and highlights to make the collaborative piece truly pop.
Pack down: We leave the site spotless, either taking the art with us or leaving you with a masterpiece for next year!

Good to know

Setting up at a festival requires precision and flexibility. Here’s what you can expect when you bring Graffitifun to your Tauranga event:

Duration: Full-day or multi-day setups available, with individual workshop sessions ranging from 30 to 90 minutes.
Group sizes: We can handle hundreds of participants throughout the day in a "drop-in" format.
Inclusions: All premium spray paint, specialized caps, safety gear (masks/gloves), canvases/boards, and pro artist guidance.
Safety: We provide full PPE and use high-quality, professional-grade materials. Our artists are first-aid aware and focus on a safe environment.
Weather: We recommend a gazebo or marquee setup to keep the artists and participants dry (or shaded from that harsh Kiwi sun!).

Local culture

Tauranga isn't just about the stunning beaches; it has a soul that beats with creativity and street culture. From the world-class murals that adorn the walls of the CBD to the underground talent thriving in the Bay of Plenty, graffiti is part of the local DNA. Our workshops tap into that "Bay vibe"—relaxed, sunny, and incredibly inclusive. We love seeing the local Tauranga crowd get stuck in, blending their unique styles into one massive piece of art. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Tauranga hosts some of New Zealand's most prestigious street art festivals? The city has transformed into an open-air gallery over the last decade, making it the perfect backdrop for a hands-on graffiti experience! ☀️
