Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival crowds?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for all participants. Our professional artists lead every session with a comprehensive safety briefing to ensure everyone uses the spray cans correctly. We use high-grade paints and maintain a controlled environment so you can focus entirely on the creative fun without any worries. Professionalism and safety are the backbone of our festival workshops.

How long does a typical festival session last?

We are flexible! A standard interactive festival workshop usually runs for about 1.5 to 3 hours, but we can adapt to your event's schedule. Whether you want a quick 'walk-in' style activation that runs all day or a scheduled masterclass for a specific group, we can tailor the duration. We also have backup artists available to ensure the flow of the event is never interrupted by unforeseen circumstances.

Do participants need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to closet creatives. Our professional Canberra artists guide participants through the basics of 'can control,' lettering, and shading. We make sure every person walks away feeling like a street art legend. It’s all about the experience and having a go, regardless of previous artistic talent or experience.

What is the maximum group size for a festival event?

We scale to your needs. We can handle small intimate community gatherings or massive festivals with thousands of attendees. We often use a rotating format where groups of 10-20 people participate at a time, allowing hundreds of people to engage over the course of a day. For larger events, we simply bring more artists and more paint to keep the energy high and the queues short!

What materials do you provide for the festival?

We take care of everything so you don't have to stress. We bring all the spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective gear, canvases or mobile walls, and cleaning supplies. All we usually need from you is an outdoor space or a well-ventilated area and a flat surface to set up our boards. Once the festival ends, we pack everything up, leaving the site exactly as we found it.

Can you customise the workshop to our festival theme?

Yes, we love making things personal! We can incorporate your festival’s theme, logo, or specific colour palette into the workshop. Whether it's a music festival, a food fair, or a community day, we can design the 'master mural' or the individual workshop tasks to align perfectly with your branding. This creates a cohesive experience that feels like a natural part of your event's DNA.

Is there an age limit for participants?

Generally, we recommend our workshops for ages 6 and up, but we can definitely adapt for younger kids with water-based paint or different tools if needed. For the standard spray-paint experience, it’s a massive hit with teenagers and adults alike. It’s a truly multi-generational activity where parents and kids often end up painting side-by-side, making it a perfect fit for family-friendly Canberra festivals.

From the iconic legal walls in Melba and Phillip to the hidden gems in the Braddon laneways, the ACT has a deep-rooted love for urban expression. We bring that local "Bush Capital" grit and creativity directly to your festival, celebrating the unique mix of planned precision and wild artistic freedom that defines our city.
