How long does a standard graffiti workshop session last?

Most of our festival workshops on the Gold Coast run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives you plenty of time to learn the basic strokes, practice your technique on a practice wall, and then execute a final masterpiece. If you're having a blast and we aren't fully booked for the next slot, our artists are usually happy to let you add those final finishing touches!

Do I need to be artistic or have drawing skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to closet creatives. Our professional street artists guide you through every step, starting with safety and basic can control before moving on to 'filling' and 'outlining'. Most people are honestly shocked at how good their art looks by the end of the session. It's all about having a go and having fun.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a bit of 'character' on. While we provide high-quality protective ponchos and gloves, spray paint is adventurous and likes to travel! Leave the designer sneakers at home and opt for closed-toe shoes. Think of it as your artist's uniform for the day—comfort is key when you're creating a masterpiece under the Queensland sun.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with protective gloves and professional-grade masks (respirators) to ensure you aren't breathing in fumes. We use high-quality spray paint brands that are industry standard. Our artists also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a fun, hazard-free environment for creators of all ages.

Do I need to pay for the workshop upfront?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexibility. We don't require any upfront payment or deposits to secure your festival booking. You can organize your group, get everyone excited, and then pay after the workshop is completed. We believe in our experience so much that we want you to be 100% satisfied before the bill is settled. 🎨

Can I book a private workshop for a large group?

Absolutely! While our festival workshops are great for individuals, we love hosting private groups. Whether it's a birthday, a work team-building day, or just a group of mates looking for something different to do on the GC, we can tailor the experience. Check out our sections for kids parties or company events if you want a dedicated private session away from the festival crowds.

What happens if the artist is unavailable?

Unlike many other providers, we have a deep roster of professional backup artists. We know how much you look forward to these events, so we make sure we have 'understudies' ready to step in if an artist falls ill. This means your Gold Coast street art experience is guaranteed to go ahead as planned. We haven't missed a beat in years!

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your next outing? We're not just about paint—we're about the vibe! Here’s why we’re the top pick for street art on the Coast:

🔥 Real Artists: Learn from professionals who actually live and breathe the street art culture.
🎨 Zero Experience Required: If you can push a button, you can create art. We promise!
💸 No Upfront Costs: We trust you! Pay only after the workshop is done and you're stoked with the result.
🛡️ Safety First: We provide professional-grade masks and gear so you can focus on the art, not the fumes.
🚀 100% Fun Guarantee: We’ve never had a boring session. It’s high-energy from start to finish.
🔄 Never Cancelled: With our backup artist policy, your event is safe with us, no matter what.

Step by step

Safety first: Suit up in your protective gear, including a mask and gloves, and listen to a quick brief on can etiquette.
The perfect grip: Learn how to hold the spray can and swap nozzles (caps) to achieve different spray widths and effects.
Master the line: Practice drawing straight lines, dots, and curves on a practice wall to get a feel for the pressure required.
Sketch your soul: Use a lighter colour to 'ghost' your design onto the main canvas or wall.
Colour explosion: Start filling in your shapes with vibrant hues, learning how to blend colours like a pro.
The 'cut' and outline: Use a darker colour to define your edges, making your piece 'pop' against the background.
Final flourishes: Add highlights and 'shines' to give your work 3D depth and that professional street art finish.
Photo op: Strike a pose with your creation! It’s time to show the Gold Coast what you’ve built.

Good to know

Duration: Sessions typically run between 1.5 to 3 hours.
Group Sizes: We cater to everyone from solo explorers to massive festival crowds of 100+.
What’s Included: High-quality spray cans, protective masks, gloves, ponchos, and professional tuition.

Payment: No deposit needed! Pay only after you've had an amazing time.

Local culture

The Gold Coast isn't just about world-class breaks and theme parks; it's home to a rapidly growing street art scene. From the hidden gems in the laneways of Southport to the massive murals gracing the walls of Miami Marketta, the GC has a unique 'coastal-cool' aesthetic that blends surf culture with urban grit. Our workshops tap into this local energy, giving you a chance to contribute to the city's evolving visual story.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the Gold Coast hosts some of Australia's most unique 'street' galleries? Places like the 'Art Roll' encourage locals to explore murals via skateboard or bike, linking the beach to the brushstroke! 🛹

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as flexible as our art. Depending on the size of your crew and the type of festival setup you're after, prices generally range from:

A$40 – A$90 per person

Whether it's a small boutique festival or a massive community bash, we’ve got a package that fits your budget. No hidden fees, just pure creativity.
