How long does a typical graffiti workshop for youth last?

Most of our Auckland youth workshops run for about 2 hours. This gives the rangatahi enough time to learn the basic strokes, design their piece, and execute their full-scale mural. For larger community projects or more intensive skill-building sessions, we can extend the timeframe over several days. We're flexible and can work around your youth group's schedule to ensure everyone gets the most out of the experience.

Is the spray paint safe for kids and teenagers?

Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for all participants. Our professional artists are trained in site safety and manage the spray cans at all times. We use low-odour, high-quality paints wherever possible and always conduct workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large undercover spaces. You can rest easy knowing the kids are in safe, experienced hands while they're getting creative.

Do the participants need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners who have never touched a spray can to those who might already be sketching in their notebooks. Our artists guide the group through every step, starting with simple lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. Every participant will leave feeling like a pro with a piece of art they can be proud of.

Where in Auckland do these workshops take place?

We can host the workshop at various locations around Auckland! We often work at community centres, youth clubs, or even your own school grounds if there’s a suitable outdoor wall or paved area. If you don't have a venue, let us know and we can help find a spot in your local neighbourhood. We’re mobile and bring all the gear to you, making it as easy as possible.

What is the cost for a youth group workshop?

We believe in making street art accessible to every young Aucklander. Our pricing usually ranges between NZ$45 and NZ$95 per person, depending on the number of participants and the specific project requirements (like whether we're painting a permanent wall or individual canvases). We don't require upfront payments, and we're always happy to provide a custom quote that fits your specific youth project budget.

Can we create a permanent mural in our neighbourhood?

Absolutely! Street art is a fantastic way to revitalise community spaces. If you have a legal wall and the necessary permissions from the Auckland Council or private owner, we can facilitate a professional mural project. This is a brilliant way for local youth to take ownership of their environment and create something beautiful for their community to enjoy for years to come. Many groups love this 'legacy' aspect.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

While we love the Auckland sun, we always have a plan for that classic 'four seasons in one day' weather. If it rains, we can move the workshop under a large marquee, into a well-ventilated warehouse, or switch to working on smaller canvases indoors with specialised water-based paints. Plus, we have backup artists ready to go, so your project will never be cancelled due to staff illness. We make it happen!

Auckland has a massive street art heart, with world-class murals hiding in plain sight from Karangahape Road to the laneways of Britomart. Our workshops tap into this local heritage, showing young people that their creativity has a place in our city's cultural landscape. We love incorporating local stories and Kiwi iconography into our sessions, reflecting the diverse melting pot that makes Auckland so unique.

Fun Fact: Did you know Auckland is home to one of the largest street art festivals in the Southern Hemisphere? The city's walls are a constant gallery, and your youth group could be the ones creating the next landmark! 🥝
