What if the students have no artistic experience?

No worries at all! Our professional Darwin graffiti artists start by teaching the basics on paper before moving to the practice walls. We provide simple templates and 'fill-in' designs so every kid, regardless of their artistic confidence, walks away with a masterpiece they are proud of. It’s all about building confidence and having a go in a supportive environment.

Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Safety is our absolute priority in Darwin. All students are provided with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. We also use premium spray paint that meets safety standards. Our artists are trained in workshop safety protocols and maintain constant supervision to ensure the cans are used correctly and responsibly throughout the entire session.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Typically, a primary school workshop in Darwin lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for the safety briefing, the sketching phase, and plenty of actual painting time. We can easily adjust the schedule to fit in with your school's recess, lunch breaks, or specific lesson blocks to ensure a smooth flow for the day.

What is the minimum age for the students?

We generally recommend our workshops for students in Year 3 and above (ages 8+). At this age, children have the hand strength to press the spray nozzles and the focus to follow safety instructions. However, we can adapt sessions for younger groups using paint pens or different techniques if required – just let us know your class age during booking!

Does this encourage students to spray on buildings illegally?

Not at all! We focus heavily on the 'art' side of street art. Our workshops include a discussion on the difference between illegal graffiti (vandalism) and street art (commissioned, legal murals). We teach students that their creativity is a gift that should be used in legal, respectful ways to beautify their local Darwin community rather than damaging it.

Do we need to provide a specific wall at the school?

We are super flexible! While we love painting outdoors in the fresh Darwin air, we can set up portable wooden walls or use large canvases. If the weather turns, we can move the workshop under cover or into a well-ventilated school hall. We bring all the floor coverings needed to ensure your school grounds stay spotless and paint-free (except for the art itself!).

Are your instructors cleared to work with children?

Absolutely. All our Darwin-based graffiti instructors hold valid Working with Children Checks (Ochre Cards). We are experienced in working within the Northern Territory school system and prioritise a professional, safe, and positive learning environment for all students and staff. We can provide copies of our certifications and insurance upon request before the workshop begins.

Local culture

Darwin might be known for its stunning sunsets at Mindil Beach, but it also has a thriving, vibrant street art scene that rivals the big smoke down south. From the incredible murals of the Darwin Fringe Festival to the hidden gems in the city's alleyways, the Top End is a canvas for tropical creativity. Our workshops take inspiration from this local 'Territory' style—bold colors, local wildlife themes, and that laid-back Darwin energy. 🎨

Fun fact: Darwin hosts an annual Street Art Festival that has transformed dozens of boring walls into world-class masterpieces! We love showing Darwin students that they are part of a city that truly celebrates urban art. 🐊
