Is the graffiti workshop safe for primary school kids?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective ponchos to keep everyone clean and safe. Our Canberra instructors are professional artists who supervise the group closely, ensuring the spray cans are used correctly. We use low-pressure cans that are easier for younger hands to control, making it a stress-free experience for parents and a blast for the kids.

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

It sure is! While we love the sunshine at spots like the Narrabundah courts, we always have a Plan B. If the Canberra weather decides to turn sour, we can move the session to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space with proper ventilation. We have backup artists and flexible setups to ensure your school holiday plans don't get washed away by a bit of rain.

What should the participants wear to the workshop?

Old clothes and comfortable sneakers are the way to go! Even though we provide protective gear like ponchos and gloves, graffiti can be a bit messy, and paint has a way of finding its way onto sleeves or shoes. Think 'painting clothes' rather than your Sunday best. Since we are often outdoors, don't forget a hat and some sunscreen for that classic Aussie sun!

Do we need to bring our own spray paint or materials?

Everything is included in the price! We provide the spray paint, caps, safety gear, and the 'canvas' (whether it's a dedicated wall or boards). You don't need to bring a single thing except your energy and creativity. Each participant gets plenty of paint to experiment with, ensuring they can finish their masterpiece without running out of their favourite colours.

My child isn't 'artistic'—will they still enjoy it?

No artistic experience is needed at all! Our school holiday workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our local Canberra artists walk everyone through the basics, from how to hold the can to creating cool 3D effects. Most kids are shocked at how much they can achieve in just two hours. It’s all about having a crack and learning a new skill in a supportive environment.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Our standard school holiday workshops in Canberra typically run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This is the 'sweet spot' where kids have enough time to learn the techniques, practice their tags, and finish a large-scale piece without getting tired. We keep the energy high from start to finish, so there’s never a dull moment while the paint is flowing!

Can you come to our specific location in Canberra?

We are super flexible with locations! We can host the workshop at one of Canberra's legal street art locations, or if you have a suitable space at a community centre, vacation care hub, or even a large backyard with permission, we can come to you. Our mobile setup allows us to bring the street art vibe anywhere in the ACT, making it convenient for your holiday schedule.

Local culture

Canberra isn't just about museums and parliament—it’s home to a thriving, vibrant street art scene! From the iconic legal walls in Narrabundah and Belconnen to the hidden gems in the Woden drains, our city is a playground for urban creators. We love tapping into this local culture, showing kids that art exists everywhere, not just in the National Gallery. 🇦🇺
