Hey there, Palmerston North educators! Are you looking to swap the whiteboard for something a bit more vibrant? Our graffiti workshops for schools are the ultimate way to get your students engaged, creative, and working together. Nestled in the heart of the Manawatū, Palmerston North has a growing appreciation for urban art, and we’re here to bring that energy right onto your school grounds. Whether you’re at a primary school, a high school, or a youth centre, our professional artists provide a safe, structured, and totally exhilarating experience. We move beyond the classroom walls to give students a hands-on lesson in modern art, self-expression, and technical skill. It’s about more than just paint; it's about building confidence and seeing a collaborative vision come to life in bright, bold colours. Ready to make your mark? 🎨

The experience
Why choose a Graffitfun workshop for your students in Palmy? It’s not just about spraying paint; it's about a unique educational journey that hits multiple curriculum levels. Here is why we are the top choice for schools:
- Expert artist mentors: Your students will learn from pros who actually live and breathe the street art culture. ✨
- Confidence booster: We see kids who struggle in traditional settings absolutely shine when they have a spray can in their hand.
- Zero stress for teachers: We bring all the gear, handle the set-up, and manage the clean-up. You just relax and watch the magic happen. 🏆
- Hands-on collaboration: There’s no better way to teach teamwork than by having a group of students create a massive mural together.
- Safety & Reliability: With backup artists on standby and a focus on PPE, we ensure your event goes off without a hitch. 💪
- Flexible themes: From Matariki celebrations to school anniversaries, we tailor the art to what matters to you.
Step by step
- Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick chat about the history of street art and a vital safety induction on how to use the gear properly.
- Design and sketching: Students grab markers and paper to plan their ideas, focusing on letter structure and composition before they touch a spray can.
- Nozzle knowledge: Our artists demonstrate how different 'caps' create different lines, from skinny outlines to fat fills.
- Practice techniques: Everyone gets a chance to practice their 'can control' on a practice wall, learning how distance and speed change the look of the paint.
- The big project: The group moves onto the main event—painting their large-scale mural or individual canvases based on the chosen theme.
- Layering and detailing: We teach the tricks of the trade, like adding highlights, 'outer' glows, and sharp 'cut-backs' to make the art pop.
- Finishing touches: The final clean-up of lines occurs, ensuring the artwork looks professional and crisp.
- Group photo and debrief: We celebrate the hard work with a group photo in front of the masterpiece and a quick talk about what everyone learned.

Local culture
Street art in Palmerston North
Palmerston North might be known as the "Student City," but it’s also becoming a canvas for some incredible street art. From the vibrant murals hiding in the inner-city laneways to the creative vibes around the Square, Palmy is the perfect place to inspire the next generation of artists. We love drawing inspiration from local Manawatū landmarks or the unique flora and fauna of the region during our sessions.
Fun Fact: Did you know that Palmerston North hosts various street art initiatives that have transformed grey walls into cultural landmarks? Our workshops help students feel like they are part of this local creative movement, rather than just observers. 🔥
Pricing
Every school workshop is a bit different—some want a massive permanent mural, while others prefer individual canvases for students to take home. Because of this, our prices depend on your group size, the duration, and the specific setup you’re after.
No upfront payment required! You only pay after the workshop is complete and everyone is stoked with the results.
