Do we need any prior art experience to enjoy the retreat?

Absolutely! Our retreat workshops in Auckland are designed for everyone, from absolute beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic spray can techniques and safety. You don't need to be 'artistic' to have a blast – we focus on the process, the fun, and the experience of trying something completely new in a supportive environment.

What should we wear to our graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on – think 'weekend DIY' vibes. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, shoe covers, and gloves, it’s best to be safe! Sturdy, closed-toe shoes are a must for safety while working on-site. We want you to feel relaxed and ready to dive into the creative process without worrying about your favourite outfit.

Is the spray paint safe to use during the session?

Safety is our top priority. We provide professional-grade masks, gloves, and protective gear for every participant. Our artists conduct a thorough safety briefing before any cans are shaken. We use high-quality spray paints and ensure our workshop locations in Auckland have excellent ventilation. We follow all local health and safety guidelines to ensure your retreat is as safe as it is exciting and memorable.

Where in Auckland do these workshops usually take place?

We are incredibly flexible! We can host the workshop at one of our pre-approved street art locations in Auckland, or we can bring the retreat to you. If your venue has a suitable outdoor space or a very well-ventilated area, our team can set up mobile graffiti walls to create a pop-up studio right at your doorstep. Just let us know your preference when booking.

How long does a typical creative retreat workshop last?

A standard retreat session usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for introductions, a safety demo, practice sessions, and the final creation of your masterpiece. If you're looking for a more intensive full-day experience as part of a larger corporate retreat, we can easily customise the duration and depth of the workshop to fit your specific itinerary.

Do we get to keep the artwork we create?

The final result depends on the workshop format you choose. Often, groups work together on a large-scale collaborative mural that makes for an incredible photo opportunity. However, we also offer options where participants can spray their designs onto individual canvases. These canvases are yours to keep, serving as a vibrant, permanent souvenir of your creative escape in the City of Sails.

How do we book and what are the payment terms?

Booking is easy and stress-free! Start by using our online Cost Calculator or Tag Creator to get inspired. Once you're ready, reach out via our contact form for a custom quote. We don't require any upfront payment – you simply pay after the workshop is completed. We also have backup artists on standby to ensure your event goes ahead no matter what.

Local culture

Auckland's street art scene is as diverse as its landscape. From the iconic murals tucked away in the alleyways of K’ Road to the massive scale works in Britomart, the city is a living gallery. Our retreat workshops tap into this local energy, drawing inspiration from the Pacific influences and urban grit that define Tāmaki Makaurau. We often host sessions in areas where the sea breeze meets the scent of fresh aerosol, providing an authentic Auckland experience.

Fun Fact: Did you know Auckland hosts the "Bradley Lane" festival in Glen Innes? It's one of the longest-running street art events in New Zealand, celebrating how graffiti can transform and uplift local communities! 🇳🇿
