Step by step

  1. Initial vibe check: You reach out with your Newcastle festival dates and we chat about your vision, crowd size, and the space available.
  2. Design the concept: Our artists create a custom concept or 'outline' for a communal mural that fits your festival's theme or brand.
  3. Site setup: On the day, we arrive early at your Newcastle location to set up mobile walls, drop sheets, and our massive 'pick-and-mix' spray paint station.
  4. Safety briefing: Every participant gets suited up in protective gear and receives a quick 'how-to' on spray can safety and technique.
  5. First lines: Under the guidance of our pros, festival-goers start filling in the mural, learning about 'fills', 'fades', and 'outlines'.
  6. Expert touch-ups: Our Newcastle artists work alongside the crowd, adding professional flourishes to ensure the final piece looks absolutely world-class.
  7. The big reveal: By the end of the event, you have a massive, vibrant piece of community-created street art that serves as the perfect photo backdrop.
  8. Pack down: We handle the entire cleanup, leaving the site spotless and taking the finished art with us (or leaving it for you to display!).

Local culture

Street art in Newcastle

Newcastle has moved far beyond its industrial roots to become a true Australian hub for street art. From the iconic murals lining the streets of Wickham to the underground vibes of Newcastle West, the city drinks in creativity. We bring that exact local energy to your festival, celebrating the coastal-meets-cool aesthetic that makes Newy unique.

Fun Fact: Did you know Newcastle hosts one of the largest street art festivals in the southern hemisphere? The city’s "Big Picture Fest" has turned boring walls into world-renowned landmarks, making Newcastle the perfect backdrop for your own graffiti activation! 🎨

Whether your event is near the surf of Merewether or the buzzing cafes of Darby Street, our workshops tap into the local DIY spirit. We’re not just providing entertainment; we’re adding to the rich tapestry of Newcastle’s ever-evolving art scene.

Pricing

We believe every festival is unique, and our pricing reflects that. Whether it's a small community gathering or a massive city-wide event, we have a package to suit your budget.

Our standard workshop rates generally fall between A$40 and A$90 per person, depending on the duration and materials used. For large-scale festival entertainment with high foot traffic, we offer competitive day rates and custom setup fees.

No upfront payment required — you only pay once the spray paint has dried and the fun is done!
