Do I need to be artistic or have painted before?

No previous experience is needed at all! Our Queenstown workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through everything from how to hold the spray can to advanced layering techniques. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can create something impressive under our expert guidance. It's all about having a go and enjoying the process.

What materials are included in the onboarding workshop?

We provide everything you need for a legendary session! This includes high-quality spray paint in a massive range of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and respiratory masks for your safety. We also provide the 'canvas'—whether that's a professional graffiti wall or individual boards you can take home. Just bring your enthusiasm and wear some comfortable 'active' clothes that you don't mind getting a bit of dust on.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard onboarding workshop in Queenstown typically lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This allows enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of a final masterpiece. If you have a specific time frame in mind for a corporate event or group activity, we can usually customise the duration to fit your schedule perfectly.

Is spray painting safe for everyone?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 respiratory masks to ensure you aren't breathing in fumes, along with protective suits and gloves to keep your clothes clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially equipped indoor spaces. Our artists are also trained in site safety and will manage the group to ensure everyone has a safe, fun time.

What happens if it rains on the day of our workshop?

Queenstown weather can be a bit 'four seasons in one day,' but we’ve got you covered! We have access to several sheltered and indoor locations across the Otago region. If the weather looks truly dire and we are outdoors, we can usually reschedule or move to a backup indoor site. We always ensure there is a Plan B so your creative session doesn't get rained out.

Can you bring the workshop to our specific location in Queenstown?

Absolutely! While we love hosting groups at our curated street art spots, we are fully mobile. If you have a suitable space at your office, venue, or event site in Queenstown or the surrounding area, our artists can bring the entire setup to you. We'll just need to check the ventilation and surface requirements beforehand to make sure everything is sweet.

Do I need to pay upfront to book?

We believe in total flexibility for our Queenstown clients. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your booking. Once the workshop is completed and you're stoked with the results, we'll handle the payment. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience before a single cent leaves your pocket. It's all part of our commitment to being the most trusted street art provider in NZ.

Local culture

Queenstown might be famous for its snow and adrenaline, but its street art scene is a hidden gem that's rapidly growing. From the hidden murals in the laneways near Lake Wakatipu to the vibrant bursts of colour in Frankton, the Otago region is becoming a canvas for world-class artists. Our workshops tap into this local energy, often taking place at sites that celebrate the rugged beauty of New Zealand through an urban lens. We love incorporating local "Kiwi-isms" and indigenous design influences into our sessions, giving your art a true sense of place in the South Island.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Queenstown hosts several secret street art spots that only locals know about? Some of our workshop locations offer exclusive access to these creative pockets away from the tourist buzz! 🏔️

Pricing

Our Queenstown graffiti experiences are competitively priced to ensure everyone can get involved in the street art movement. Total costs depend on your group size, the amount of paint required, and whether we're coming to you or using one of our local spots.
