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

Not at all! Our Queenstown street art workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists lead you through every step, starting with basic spray can control and safety. By the time we get to the festival wall, you'll feel confident enough to contribute your own unique flair. It's all about having a blast and trying something new in the heart of Otago.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for participants?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 respirators, protective gloves, and full-body overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs clear. We only use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control, and our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure a controlled, professional environment so you can focus entirely on the creative fun.

What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?

In Queenstown, we always have a plan B! For street art festivals, we often have marquee setups or indoor alternative locations nearby. If the weather is really working against us, we can transition to a large-scale canvas workshop indoors. Our goal is to ensure your creative experience happens regardless of the clouds over The Remarkables, so the festival energy never stops.

Can we take our artwork home after the session?

Absolutely! While we focus on large-scale collaborative pieces for the festival vibe, we can often arrange for participants to create smaller individual canvases or boards to take home. This serves as a brilliant souvenir of your time in Queenstown. Just let us know in advance if you'd like this option included so we can prep the extra materials for your group.

What is the age limit for the festival workshop?

For festival workshops, we recommend a minimum age of 6 or 7 years old so they can comfortably handle the spray cans. For school groups or family-focused events, we adapt our teaching crystal-clear for younger kids. We also offer specialized kids' parties in nearby cities like Christchurch and Hamilton if you're looking for a dedicated younger-age event. There is no upper age limit—everyone is welcome!

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Most festival workshop sessions run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper intro, some practice on the 'training wall,' and then serious time on the main mural. We find this is the 'sweet spot' where energy stays high and everyone gets to finish their contribution without feeling rushed. We can also scale this for full-day festival rotations.

How do I book and what are the payment terms?

We make it super easy for you. There is no upfront payment required to secure your booking—you only pay after the workshop is complete. We also have a dedicated roster of backup artists to ensure your event never gets cancelled due to illness. Our interactive Cost Calculator can give you an instant estimate, and our team is always ready to provide a custom quote.

Local culture

Queenstown isn't just about bungy jumping and skiing; it’s a town with a growing heartbeat of urban creativity. While the surrounding mountains provide a natural masterpiece, our workshops offer a chance to contribute something modern and edgy to the local culture. We love setting up near the bustling Shotover Street or during the iconic winter festivals where the crisp air makes the paint dry perfectly. The community here has a "can-do" attitude that fits perfectly with the bold, unapologetic nature of graffiti.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the bright hues used in Queenstown's street art are often inspired by the "golden hour" light that hits the Remarkables range? Our artists love using those deep oranges and purples in their festival murals! ✨
