Is the spray paint safe for participants with sensitivities?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for everyone. We also use low-odour, water-based spray paints whenever requested or necessary to ensure a comfortable breathing environment. Our artists are trained to supervise the session closely, ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly while having a blast in a secure, controlled outdoor or well-ventilated setting.

Where in Newcastle do the workshops take place?

We are completely mobile! We can host the workshop at various accessible public 'free walls' around Newcastle, or we can come directly to your facility, school, or community centre. If we come to you, we set up professional plastic sheeting and boards to ensure your property remains spotless. We just need an open, well-ventilated space to get the creative juices flowing.

Do participants need any prior art experience?

Not at all. Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, especially those who might find traditional art intimidating. We use stencils, tape, and easy-to-grip cans so that everyone can produce something they are proud of quickly. It is all about the process, the sensory experience, and the joy of creation rather than technical perfection. Everyone leaves feeling like a local street art pro!

How long does a typical session last?

We find that 1.5 to 2 hours is the 'sweet spot' for our special needs programs. This allows enough time for a relaxed introduction, a demonstration, and plenty of hands-on painting time without becoming over-stimulating or tiring. However, we are totally flexible and can adjust the pace and duration to suit the specific energy levels and needs of your particular group.

How do you adapt the workshop for different abilities?

Our artists are experienced in working with diverse needs, including physical disabilities, NDIS participants, and neurodivergent individuals. We focus on patience, encouragement, and adaptive techniques. Whether it's helping someone hold a spray can or providing visual aids, we adapt our teaching style to ensure every single person feels included, respected, and capable of making their mark on the world.

What is your booking and cancellation policy?

We know plans can change, especially with group bookings. That is why we offer a 'no upfront payment' policy. You can book your date to secure our artists, and payment is only handled after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We also have backup artists on standby to ensure your event never gets cancelled at the last minute.

The experience

Our special needs program isn't just about painting walls; it's about empowerment and sensory engagement. Here is why Newy locals love our workshops:

Confidence Boost: Seeing a vibrant image appear on a large scale gives participants an instant sense of achievement. ✨
Sensory Play: The sound, the touch, and the visual pop of spray paint provide a unique therapeutic experience.
Adaptive Tools: We use specialised nozzles and stencils to make painting easy for those with limited fine motor skills.
Expert Facilitators: Our Newcastle artists are patient, encouraging, and experienced in working with diverse abilities. 🏆
Zero Stress: With our "pay after the fun" policy and no-cancellation guarantee, your booking is completely risk-free.
Total Inclusion: We focus on what participants *can* do, fostering a positive environment where everyone is an artist. 🔥

Step by step

Initial Chat: We start by discussing the specific needs, group size, and goals of your Newcastle crew to tailor the experience.
Design Phase: Use our online Tag Creator to spark some ideas before the big day, or let our artists sketch out some friendly outlines.
Gear Up: On the day, we provide everyone with 'space suits' (coveralls), gloves, and masks. It’s all part of the fun transformation!
Can Control: Our artists demonstrate simple techniques, like how to hold the can and create different line widths safely.
First Sprays: Everyone gets a chance to practice on test boards to get used to the feel and 'psshhh' sound of the paint.
The Masterpiece: We move onto the main event—painting a collective mural or individual canvases that celebrate your group's unique style.
The Reveal: We take plenty of photos of the finished work. The sense of pride during this stage is absolutely infectious!
Cleanup: We handle all the messy bits, leaving your space (or the local spot) clean and tidy while you enjoy the post-art glow.

Local culture

Newcastle has transformed from a gritty industrial hub into a world-class outdoor gallery. Walking through the CBD or checking out the 'Big Picture' mural festival sites, you can feel the creative energy that vibrates through Newy. Our workshops tap into this local 'Can-Do' spirit, giving participants the chance to contribute to the city's evolving street art culture. We love the laid-back, friendly vibe of Newcastle, which makes it the perfect backdrop for a stress-free creative session.

Fun Fact: Did you know Newcastle is home to some of Australia's most famous street art festivals? The city's laneways are constantly changing, proving that everyone—no matter their background—has a story to tell through colour! 🌊

Pricing

We believe in transparent pricing and incredible value for Newcastle community groups and NDIS providers. Our workshop prices typically range from A$40 to A$90 per person.

The final cost depends on your group size, the duration of the session, and whether we're using individual canvases or a large-scale mural setup. The best part? No upfront payment is required—you only pay once the workshop is finished and your group is smiling!
