Is graffiti painting safe for people with special needs?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority. We use high-quality, low-odour water-based spray paints for our indoor sessions and provide full protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our Dunedin artist instructors are trained to manage group dynamics and ensure every participant feels comfortable and safe throughout the creative process. We adapt our teaching style to match the energy and needs of the group.

Where do the workshops take place?

Our workshops are fully mobile! We can come to your facility, school, or community centre in Dunedin, or we can arrange an accessible outdoor space or studio. We make sure the environment is familiar and comfortable for your group. Don't worry about the mess— we bring drop cloths and protective materials to ensure the site stays exactly as we found it, minus the new awesome art!

How long does a typical session last?

We generally recommend a duration of 1.5 to 2 hours for our special needs programs. This timeframe is the 'sweet spot'—it's long enough to learn the techniques and get creative, but short enough to maintain high engagement and focus. However, we are totally flexible! If your group needs a shorter session with more breaks, we can easily customise the schedule to suit your specific requirements.

Do participants need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our friendly professional artists break down the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We focus on 'controlled play'—allowing participants to experiment with colours and shapes without the pressure of being perfect. The goal is self-expression and having a great time, regardless of prior artistic experience or skill level.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need! This includes a wide range of spray paint colours, caps (nozzles), protective suits, gloves, and high-quality masks. We also provide the 'canvas'—which could be a large shared mural wall, individual wooden panels, or canvases that participants can take home. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little dusty!

How does the payment process work?

We believe in total flexibility for our Dunedin partners. You don't need to pay anything upfront when booking your special needs program. We want you to feel confident in the experience we provide, so payment is only required after the workshop is complete. This reflects our 100% satisfaction guarantee and our commitment to building long-term relationships with the Dunedin community.

Local culture

Dunedin (or Ōtepoti) is legendary for its vibrant street art scene. Walking through the city centre feels like visiting an open-air gallery, with massive murals by world-renowned artists tucked away in every alley. Our workshops tap into this local 'street soul,' encouraging participants to feel part of Dunedin's creative identity. We embrace the relaxed, southern hospitality that 'Dunners' is known for, ensuring every session feels like a community gathering rather than a formal lesson.

Fun fact: Dunedin hosts one of the southernmost street art trails in the world! Our workshop participants love knowing they are part of a global movement that has a very special home right here in the South Island. 🎨⛰️

Every special needs program in Dunedin is unique. Because we customise the duration, materials, and support levels for every group, we don't have a one-size-fits-all price list. Whether you're looking for a one-off session or a recurring therapy program, we'll work with your budget.
