Good to know
Our workshops are designed to be hassle-free and totally immersive. We supply all the "toys" (spray cans, caps, and boards) and the "armour" (suits, gloves, and masks). Sessions are usually 90 minutes to 3 hours long. We cater to all group sizes, from intimate groups of 5 to large-scale events for 100+ people. Safety is a big deal for us, so we only use professional-grade equipment and work in safe, legal environments. Plus, we have backup artists ready to go, so your event happens rain or shine! ☀️
Getting to your Rotorua workshop
Rotorua is easily accessible for both local and visiting groups. The city does not have a passenger railway station, so travel by road is the primary option. State Highway 5 runs directly through Rotorua, connecting it to other major North Island centres like Taupō and Hamilton. State Highway 30 provides access from the east and west.
For those travelling by air, Rotorua Airport (ROT) offers domestic flights, primarily connecting to Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. From the airport, a short taxi or bus ride will bring you into the city centre. Coach services operate regularly to Rotorua from various New Zealand cities, dropping off at the city's central bus station. Parking is generally available in Rotorua city centre car parks, with options for larger coaches often near major attractions or by arrangement with your chosen venue.
Local culture
Rotorua's street art scene
While Rotorua is not traditionally known as a graffiti hotspot, the city has a growing appreciation for public art and murals, often reflecting Māori narratives and local landscapes. You can find examples of public art brightening walls and public spaces, contributing to the city's visual character. These murals often tell stories of the land, its people, and its history, providing a rich context for our workshops.
The Rotorua Lakes Council and local community groups have supported initiatives to integrate art into urban environments. This developing scene offers an authentic and respectful environment for our workshops, allowing participants to explore street art techniques while appreciating the city's unique cultural tapestry. Our workshops encourage participants to create art that is both personal and respectful of Rotorua's distinctive identity.
Pricing
Every creative project is a bit different! Our prices depend on your group size, the location, and whether you want to work on individual canvases or a massive collaborative mural. Because we want to give you the best value, we provide custom quotes for every enquiry.
The best part? You don't need to pay a cent upfront. Pay only after you've had an absolute blast at the workshop!
