Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! We take safety seriously. We provide all secondary school students in Palmerston North with high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep their uniforms clean. Our instructors are professional artists who have undergone thorough background checks and are experienced in managing large groups of teenagers in a controlled, safe environment. We only use professional-grade spray paint in ventilated outdoor areas.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard secondary school workshop in 'Palmy' usually runs between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This timeframe allows enough room for the initial brainstorming and sketching phase, a safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of the mural or individual canvases. We can also adjust the timing to fit specifically within your school's period blocks or afternoon sports schedules.

Do students need to have prior art skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. Whether a student is a talented art enthusiast or someone who hasn't picked up a brush since primary school, we guide them through the process step-by-step. We find that students who don't consider themselves 'artistic' often produce some of the most creative and bold work once they learn the proper spray techniques.

Where in Palmerston North do the workshops take place?

We are super flexible! We can come to your school grounds and set up mobile graffiti walls or use large cellophane sheets wrapped between trees or pillars (a great temporary option). Alternatively, if you'd like to get the students out of the classroom, we can often arrange a session at an approved local street art location in Palmerston North. We bring all the gear to you!

What happens if the Manawatū weather doesn't play ball?

We've got you covered. For outdoor sessions, we always have backup dates available or can pivot to a covered area if your school has a large shed, gymnasium, or hall with high ceilings and proper ventilation. We also have a 'backup artist' system in place, so even if an instructor is unwell, your workshop will still go ahead as planned. No stress!

How much does a secondary school workshop cost?

Our pricing is tailored to your specific needs. Since every secondary school group is a different size—from a single class of 20 to a whole year group of 100+—we provide custom quotes. The cost includes all materials, professional instructors, and travel. Plus, you don't have to pay a cent upfront; we only invoice you after the workshop is successfully completed.

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your Palmerston North school? It’s more than just painting; it’s about building confidence and community. 🏆

Boost Student Engagement: Even the most 'checked-out' students find it hard to resist the lure of a spray can. It’s tactile, fast-paced, and cool. 🔥
Expert Mentorship: Our artists aren't just talented; they're great mentors who show students that a career in the arts is a real possibility.
School Pride: Nothing builds a sense of belonging like students working together to create a massive mural that stays on campus for years.
Zero Stress for Teachers: We handle the lot — from site prep and safety gear to the final cleanup. You just sit back and watch the magic happen.
Curriculum Aligned: Our sessions can be tailored to meet NCEA Achievement Standards in Visual Arts or even used for Social Studies and English themes.
Risk-Free Booking: With our backup artist guarantee and no-upfront-payment policy, your school budget is always safe with us. 💪

Step by step

The initial shout-out: Flick us a message with your preferred dates and the number of students. We’ll get back to you with a custom quote that fits the school budget.
Planning the vibe: Our artists chat with you to decide on a theme. Whether it's school values, a local Manawatū legend, or just 'free expression', we tailor the plan to your curriculum.
Health and Safety first: On the day, we start with a proper induction. Students get suited up in overalls and masks, and we explain the 'golden rules' of using spray cans safely.
Mastering the nozzle: Before touching the wall, students learn the basics on practice boards. We teach them about distance, pressure, and how to create different effects like fades and drips.
Sketching the vision: Students work together to sketch out the design. This stage is all about collaboration and ensuring everyone has a part in the masterpiece.
The main event: It's time to spray! Working under the guidance of our pros, the students bring the wall to life with vibrant colours and bold outlines.
The final touch: We show the group how to add 'highlights' and 'lowlights' to make the artwork pop. This is where the magic really happens and the piece looks professional.
Clean up and wrap: We handle all the messy bits. The students leave with a massive sense of achievement (and some epic photos for the school newsletter), and your school is left with a stunning new mural.

Good to know

Duration: Usually 1.5 to 2.5 hours, but we can flex to fit your school timetable.

Local culture

Palmerston North — or 'Palmy' as we all know it — has a sneaky-good street art scene that’s been growing for years. From the stunning murals hidden away in Berrymans Lane to the vibrant pieces dotting the CBD, the city is a canvas waiting to be explored. We love bringing our workshops here because the Manawatū student community is always full of original ideas and a bit of that classic 'can-do' Kiwi attitude. 🍷

Fun Fact: Did you know Palmerston North is home to several major street art festivals? The city has transformed many of its utility boxes and blank walls into world-class galleries, proving that street art is a vital part of the local cultural identity. Our workshops give your students a chance to join that legacy! ✨
