Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely not! Our Alotau street art festival workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners who have never held a spray can to experienced creators. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic lines and safety. You will be amazed at how quickly you can create something incredible when you have the right guidance and high-quality materials. It is all about having fun and expressing yourself!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We take care of everything so you can focus on the art. We provide high-quality spray paint in a huge range of colours, professional-grade masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. Depending on the festival setup, we provide large canvases or designated wall spaces. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm and perhaps some comfortable shoes that you do not mind getting a tiny bit of dust on.

Is the street art workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to control and provide high-quality FFP3 marks to protect against fumes. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas, which is perfect for the Alotau breeze. Our instructors are trained professionals who supervise the group at all times, ensuring that everyone uses the equipment correctly and stays safe while having a blast.

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

While we provide protective overalls, we always recommend wearing comfortable, 'work-ready' clothing and closed-toe shoes. Graffiti can be a bit messy, and while the suits cover most things, a stray drop of paint can sometimes find its way onto a sleeve or a shoe. It is best to leave your favourite designer gear at home and wear something you feel relaxed in while getting creative under the sun.

How long does the workshop experience last?

Our festival workshops in Alotau typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to go through the history of street art, learn the basic techniques, practice your 'tag', and then complete a full-scale piece. We find this is the perfect duration to stay energised and focused without getting tired, leaving you plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the festival festivities!

Can I book for a large group or a corporate team?

We love working with groups! Whether you are visiting the Alotau festival with a small group of friends or a large corporate team, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we often split into smaller teams, each guided by one of our professional artists. This ensures everyone gets personal attention and a chance to truly contribute to the final masterpiece. Just let us know your numbers!

How do I book and when do I pay?

Booking is super easy and flexible. You can request a free, no-obligation quote through our website. The best part? We do not require any upfront payment. You can secure your spot and pay after the workshop is completed. We also have backup artists on standby, so you never have to worry about a cancellation. We make the process as stress-free as possible so you can focus on the art.

Intro to the art: Our pro artists give you a quick rundown on the history of graffiti and how street art has shaped global culture.
Master the nozzle: Learn the 'can control' basics—different nozzles (caps) create different lines, from skinny details to fat fills.
Sketching your vision: Grab a marker or a can and layout the basic shapes of your design on the canvas or wall.
Fill and flow: This is where the colour comes in. Learn how to fill large areas smoothly and create those classic graffiti gradients.
The sharp outline: Use a contrasting colour to make your piece 'pop' with a clean, sharp outline.
Add the 'flare': Learn the tricks of the trade like highlights, dropshadows, and 3D effects to give your art depth.
The final tag: Every artist needs a signature. Create your unique tag and sign off on your masterpiece!
Photo finish: We wrap up with a group photo of you and your artwork—perfect for showing off your new skills on social media.

Local culture

Alotau is famous for its incredible seafaring traditions and the rhythmic beat of the Kundu drums, but there is a growing appetite for modern creative expression too! Bringing a street art festival to Alotau creates a unique bridge between traditional Milne Bay culture and contemporary urban art. Imagine the intricate patterns of a Gabaibo (war canoe) reimagined through the lens of a spray can—that is the kind of magic we love to see. The relaxed, tropical atmosphere of Alotau provides the perfect backdrop for a day of painting by the sea.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Alotau is the gateway to some of the most diverse marine life in the world? We often see participants drawing inspiration from the bright corals and tropical fish of Milne Bay for their graffiti designs! 🐠 ✨
