Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

Nah, you don't need any prior experience to join our Hobart street art festival workshops. Our professional artists are there to guide you through every step, from holding the can to mastering advanced shading. Whether you're a complete'newbie' or a seasoned sketcher, we'll help you create something you're proud of in a relaxed, supportive environment. It's all about having a crack and enjoying the creative process!

What safety gear do you provide?

Safety is our top priority while we're getting creative. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective ponchos to keep your clothes clean and your lungs clear. We only use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our instructors also give a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring everyone has a blast without any worries. Just wear comfortable shoes and leave the rest to us!

What happens if it rains on the day?

Hobart's weather can be a bit temperamental, but we've got you covered. For our festival setups, we usually have marquee options or undercover areas ready to go. If the weather is looking truly 'feral' and we're forced to postpone, we'll work with you to find a new date or move the event to a suitable indoor venue where we can use low-odour paint or alternative techniques. We never let a bit of rain dampen our spirits!

Is there an age limit for participants?

The minimum age for our Hobart festival workshops is typically 6 years old. We use specialised low-pressure cans for the younger ones which are much easier for smaller hands to control. For teenagers and adults, we use the standard pro gear. We find that street art is a fantastic bridge between generations, and it’s common to see kids and parents working on a mural together at Tasmanian festivals. No one is too old to spray!

How long does a typical session last?

Standard festival workshops usually run between 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the specific setup and group size. This gives us enough time to cover the basics, practice some techniques, and finish a collaborative mural or individual canvas. If you’re at a major Hobart event, we often run shorter 'drop-in' sessions throughout the day so more people can have a go. We’re flexible and can tailer the timing to fit your event schedule.

Can we choose a specific theme for our mural?

Absolutely! We love bringing Hobart's local flair into our designs. If you have a specific theme for your festival—like Tasmanian wildlife, maritime history, or a particular brand message—just let us know. Our artists will create a custom sketch or stencil concept that aligns perfectly with your vision. It's a great way to make the street art experience feel truly integrated with your local Hobart event or community project.

How do I book a session for my next Hobart event?

Booking is super easy and we're big on flexibility. You can start by using our online cost calculator for an estimate, or just reach out for a custom quote. Once we've sorted the details, we'll lock in the date. The best part? You don't have to pay anything upfront. We trust our Hobart community, so you only pay after the workshop is finished and you're 100% happy with the result. Let’s get spraying!

Local culture

Hobart might be known for its heritage architecture and the stunning Kunanyi / Mt Wellington, but its street art scene is absolutely thriving. From the hidden gems in the midcity laneways to the grand murals in North Hobart, the city is a canvas for storytellers. Our workshops tap into this local 'Tassie' spirit, blending the grit of urban art with the natural beauty of the island. We love incorporating local icons—from the Thylacine to the rugged coastline—into our festival designs.

Fun Hobart Fact: Did you know that Hobart's 'Art Walls' program has turned once-drab alleys into some of the most photographed spots in Tasmania? We’re proud to contribute to this evolving creative culture! 🌊🎨
