Do I need any previous art experience to join the festival workshop?

Absolutely! Our Darwin street art workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists guide you through every step, starting with safety and basic spray techniques before moving on to creating your own masterpiece. You don't need any prior drawing skills to walk away with something you're proud of. Just bring your enthusiasm and we’ll handle the rest!

What should I wear and do you provide protective gear?

We've got you covered! All participants are provided with high-quality protective gear, including overalls, gloves, and specialised masks. While the paint is permanent on the walls, our safety gear does a great job of keeping your clothes clean. However, we always recommend wearing comfortable old clothes and sneakers just in case you get a little bit of 'creative splatter' during the excitement!

Is the spray paint safe to use for kids and adults?

Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide professional-grade masks and gloves for all participants. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open spaces to ensure proper airflow. Additionally, our expert instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring a fun and secure environment for all ages.

How long does a typical street art festival session last?

Our Darwin festival workshops typically run for about 90 minutes to 3 hours, depending on the specific event setup. This gives you plenty of time to learn the techniques, practice your 'tag', and complete a collaborative or individual piece of street art. It’s the perfect amount of time to get into the flow without it feeling rushed or overly exhausting in the Darwin heat.

What is the minimum age for participants at the festival?

We believe in the power of street art for everyone! Our workshops are generally suitable for ages 6 and up. For younger kids, we focus on fun, simple shapes and safe handling of the cans. For teenagers and adults, we dive deeper into technical skills like fading and 3D effects. It’s a fantastic multi-generational activity that brings families and festival-goers together through shared creativity.

What happens if I need to cancel or if the weather turns?

We understand that plans can change, especially during busy festival seasons. One of the best things about Graffitifun is that we don't require upfront payments for most bookings—you can pay after the workshop! We also have a dedicated team of backup artists in Darwin, meaning your session is protected against last-minute staff illness. We aim for 100% satisfaction and total peace of mind.

Can we take our artwork home after the session?

While festivals often focus on large-scale collaborative murals where everyone adds their touch to a massive wall, we can also arrange for individual canvases or boards. This depends on the specific festival package you choose. If you're booking for a private group within a festival setting, just let us know your preference and we can tailor the experience so everyone has a piece to take home!

Local culture

Darwin is a city that lives and breathes outdoor culture, from the Mindil Beach markets to the stunning waterfront. Over the last few years, the Darwin street art scene has exploded, with world-class murals popping up in laneways like Austin Lane and West Lane. Our workshops tap into this tropical creative energy, reflecting the bold colours and unique spirit of the Northern Territory.

Fun Fact: Did you know Darwin hosts its own dedicated Street Art Festival? It has transformed the CBD into one of the largest outdoor galleries in Australia, proving that the Top End is a true heavy-hitter in the global urban art world! 🐊

We love bringing our spray cans to local festivals across the Territory, helping participants connect with the ancient tradition of visual storytelling through a modern, urban lens. Whether we're set up under the palms or in the heart of the city, the vibe is always 100% Darwin.
