Do the participants need to have any prior art experience?

Absolutely! No prior experience or artistic talent is required for our Canberra youth projects. Our professional artists are expert mentors who break down complex techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We focus on the 'fun' in 'Graffitifun,' ensuring every participant feels comfortable and confident by the time they pick up their first spray can. It’s all about expression, not perfection.

Is the workshop safe for young people?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep everyone safe and clean. We use low-odour professional spray paint and conduct a comprehensive safety briefing at the start of every session. Our instructors are experienced in managing groups and ensuring that the equipment is used correctly and responsibly throughout the entire workshop.

Where in Canberra do these youth projects take place?

We are flexible! We can host workshops at various legal street art locations around Canberra, or we can bring the experience to your youth centre, school, or community hub. If we come to you, we use mobile wooden walls or large canvases to ensure your property remains clean and unaffected while the kids get to create their masterpieces.

How long does a typical graffiti workshop last?

Our standard youth project workshops typically run for about 2 to 3 hours. This gives the group enough time to learn the history of the craft, practice their techniques, and complete a final collaborative mural or individual pieces. If you have a specific schedule or a full-day community event in mind, we can definitely tailor the duration to suit your needs.

What materials are included in the price?

Graffitifun provides everything! Your booking includes all premium spray paint, caps, safety gear (masks/gloves/suits), and the surfaces to paint on. We also bring along our passion and expertise. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little dusty, and we’ll handle all the logistics and setup.

How does a graffiti workshop benefit the local community?

Street art is a fantastic way to engage 'at-risk' or disengaged youth. It offers a sense of ownership, builds self-esteem, and teaches respect for public spaces by differentiating between vandalism and art. It’s a physical, outdoor activity that encourages teamwork and creative problem-solving. Many Canberra youth workers find it’s the most popular activity on their calendar!

What happens if an artist is unable to make it?

We know how important it is to have things locked in. That’s why we have a team of backup artists ready to go. If an instructor falls ill, we do our absolute best to ensure a replacement is available so your event isn't cancelled. Plus, with no upfront payment required, you can book with total peace of mind.

Check out our Tag Creator: Before the day, head to our online tool to experiment with street art styles and brainstorm ideas for your Canberra project.
Safety and intro: We kick things off with a quick safety chat and a look at the history of street art culture.
Mastering the lines: Participants learn how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create clean lines and circles.
Fills and fades: We move on to more advanced techniques like colour gradients, shading, and filling in large areas effectively.
The big concept: The group works together or individually to sketch out their design on the wall or canvas.
Painting time: This is where the magic happens! The group brings their sketches to life with vibrant colours and bold outlines.
Final touches: Our artists help the kids add highlights and 'power lines' to make their artwork really pop.
Photo op: We wrap up by posing with the finished mural—perfect for social media or community newsletters!
The clean-up: Pack down is quick and easy, leaving the space exactly as we found it (except for the awesome new art!).

Local culture

Canberra might be the home of politics, but its street art scene is anything but buttoned-up. Areas like Braddon and the legal walls in Woden have become iconic canvases for local talent. Our workshops tap into this local 'bush capital' vibe, encouraging participants to draw inspiration from Canberra’s unique blend of urban design and natural beauty. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Canberra has several "Free Walls" where street art is legally encouraged? It’s part of a government initiative to support local artists and keep the city looking fresh! 🇦🇺

We love working with the local community, from schools in Gungahlin to youth centres in Tuggeranong, ensuring that the next generation of Canberra artists has the skills and the respect for the craft to keep our city’s walls looking world-class. 🔥

Pricing

Our youth project pricing is designed to be affordable and transparent for community organisations and local groups. Rates generally range between A$40 and A$90 per person.

The final cost depends on the number of participants, the amount of materials needed, and whether we are providing mobile walls or canvases. We don't believe in hidden fees, and the best part? No upfront payment is required! You only pay once the workshop is complete and everyone is stoked with the results. 💸
