Are the workshop locations in Auckland wheelchair accessible?

Absolutely! Our Auckland workshops are designed to be fully inclusive. We select locations with flat, paved surfaces that are easy for wheelchairs to navigate. Our artists are also great at adjusting the spray height and positioning so that everyone can reach their section of the wall comfortably. We make sure there is plenty of space for everyone to move around and enjoy the creative process without any barriers.

What safety measures do you have in place for special needs groups?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep everyone clean and safe. We also use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to control for those with limited hand strength or coordination. Our professional artists provide constant supervision and guidance, ensuring a secure environment where participants can focus entirely on having a brilliant time and expressing their inner artist.

How long does a typical workshop last?

We find that the 1.5 to 2-hour mark is usually the 'sweet spot' for our special needs programs in Auckland. It allows enough time for everyone to get comfortable with the tools, practice their technique, and complete a masterpiece without getting overstimulated or tired. However, we are totally flexible! If your group needs a shorter session or more frequent breaks, just let us know and we’ll tailor the pace.

Do participants need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are perfect for absolute beginners. We start with the very basics—how to hold the can, how to control the spray, and how to make simple shapes. Our Auckland artists are patient and encouraging, guiding each person at their own speed. Whether someone wants to paint a simple smiley face or a complex name tag, we help them achieve something they’ll be truly proud of.

What is the ideal group size for these workshops?

We find that smaller, intimate groups work best to ensure everyone gets the attention they deserve. Generally, a ratio of one artist to about 10-15 participants is ideal. However, we can cater to larger groups by bringing in extra backup artists to keep things safe and fun. We recommend chatting with us about your specific group size so we can create the perfect setup for your Auckland event.

How do we book and what are the costs?

Getting a quote is super easy! Since every workshop is unique depending on your group size, location, and specific requirements, we provide custom pricing. You can use our online Cost Calculator for an instant estimate, or simply send us an enquiry. The best part? There is no upfront payment required—you only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% happy with the experience.

Local culture

Auckland is a city bursting with creative energy, from the iconic murals in Karangahape Road to the hidden gems in the back alleys of Ponsonby. Street art is a huge part of our local "Tāmaki Makaurau" identity, and we love bringing that culture to everyone in the community. We work with local spots that reflect the true spirit of the city, ensuring our workshops feel like an authentic Auckland experience.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Auckland is home to some of the largest street art festivals in New Zealand? The city views its walls as a massive outdoor gallery, making it the perfect backdrop for your own artistic journey! 🇳🇿

Whether you are based in the CBD or out in the suburbs like Henderson or Manukau, we bring the vibe to you. Our team knows the best accessible spots across the city where your group can paint comfortably while soaking in the local atmosphere.
