Do we need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Most of our uni students have never touched a spray can before. Our Canberra-based pros start with the basics, from how to hold the nozzle to mastering 'fat caps' and 'skinny caps.' We guide you through the process step-by-step, ensuring you feel confident and supported. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've helped create. It's all about having a go and enjoying the creative process! 🎨

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality masks/respirators, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and provide better results for beginners. Our artists are seasoned pros who provide clear safety briefings before anyone starts spraying. We ensure the session is held in a well-ventilated area, keeping the vibes high and the risks low. ✅

What should we wear to the workshop?

While we provide protective suits, we always recommend wearing 'painting clothes'—basically anything you don't mind getting a tiny bit of rogue dust on. Comfortable closed-toe shoes are a must for safety and stability. Since Canberra's weather can be a bit unpredictable, it's a good idea to bring a jacket if we're outdoors or stick to light layers. Leave your designer sneakers at home for this one! 👟

Can you host the workshop on our campus?

We are super flexible! We can bring the workshop to your campus (provided we have permission and a suitable space), or we can host you at one of Canberra's legal street art locations. We often set up temporary wooden panels or large canvases so there's no permanent mark left on the university grounds unless specifically requested for a mural project. We handle the setup and the cleanup! 🏗️

How long does a typical university session last?

A standard uni workshop usually runs between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives everyone enough time to learn the techniques, practice their tags, and collaborate on a large-scale mural or individual canvases. If you've got a tighter schedule for an O-Week event, we can adapt the format to a 'drop-in' style where students can contribute to a collective piece over several hours. We work around your timetable! ⏳

What happens if we need to cancel or if the artist is sick?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our reliability. We have a solid team of backup artists in the Canberra region, so even if an instructor falls ill, your event won't be cancelled. Plus, you don't need to pay anything upfront! Our 'pay after the workshop' policy means you can book with total peace of mind, knowing we’re committed to delivering an awesome experience for your student group. 🛡️

How much does it cost per student?

University workshops usually range from A$40 to A$90 per student. The final price depends on your total group size, the duration of the event, and the amount of materials required (canvases, extra paint, etc.). We’re always happy to work with student unions or society budgets to find a package that delivers maximum fun without breaking the bank. Just hit us up for a custom quote! 💰

The experience

Why choose Graffitifun for your next uni event in the ACT? We aren't just another boring workshop; we are a full-blown creative experience that builds community and lets off steam. Here is why we’re the top choice for Canberra students:

Maximum Stress Relief: Forget the exams for a few hours. There is something incredibly therapeutic about the hiss of a spray can and the flow of the paint! 😌
Epic Social Media Content: Your Insta and TikTok will go mental. There is nothing more photogenic than a wall of fresh, vibrant street art created by you and your crew. 📸
No Boring Lectures: This is 100% hands-on. We keep the talking to a minimum and the painting to a maximum. 🎤
Professional Street Artists: Learn from the best. Our instructors are actual artists who live and breathe the Canberra street art culture. 🏆
Everything Provided: We bring the paint, the gear, and the boards. You just bring your mates and your creativity. ✨
Pay After We're Done: We trust you! No deposits or upfront payments—we’re so confident you’ll love it that you only pay once the spray has settled. 💪

Step by step

Inquiry & Concept: You reach out with your group size and preferred date. We chat about what kind of vibe you're after—whether it's a social mixer or a skill-building session.
The Setup: On the day, our team arrives at your Canberra location early to set up boards, drop sheets, and organize the spray cans by colour.
Safety & Theory: We kick things off with a quick safety briefing and an intro to the history of street art. We show you the different nozzles and spray techniques.
Practice Runs: Everyone grabs a can! You'll start on practice boards to get a feel for the pressure, distance, and hand speed needed for clean lines.
The Main Event: Whether you're working on individual canvases or a giant collaborative mural, the 'real' painting begins. Our artists roam around, giving tips and helping you refine your art.
The Final Flourish: We help you add those professional 'second outlines' and highlights that make the pieces really pop.
Photos & Cleanup: We take epic group shots of your crew with their work. Then, we handle the pack-down, leaving the area exactly as we found it.

Local culture

Canberra isn't just about politicians and roundabouts; it has a thriving, often overlooked street art scene hidden in its suburbs. From the legal walls in Tuggeranong to the iconic murals in Braddon, the Bush Capital is becoming a canvas for world-class artists. Our workshops tap into this local 'Canberran' creative spirit, offering students a chance to connect with the city's urban culture beyond the National Gallery. 🏛️

Fun Fact: Did you know that Canberra has several 'Free Walls' where street art is legally encouraged? It’s part of the city’s initiative to reduce illegal graffiti while supporting local talent—a vibe we totally bring to every uni session we run!

Pricing

University pricing
