Do the kids need to be good at drawing to join a youth project?

Absolutely! No artistic 'skills' are required to have an awesome time. Our professional graffiti artists are experts at breaking down the basics, from how to hold the can to mastering fat caps and skinny caps. We foster a super supportive environment where every young person in Napier can feel confident experimenting. It’s all about the process, the expression, and having a laugh with your mates while creating something massive.

Is the workshop safe for teenagers?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep everyone safe and clean. We use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier for younger hands to control. Before any paint hits the wall, we run a comprehensive safety briefing covering everything from nozzle direction to personal space. You're in good hands with the Graffitifun team!

What is the minimum age for the graffiti workshop?

We usually recommend our youth projects for ages 10 and up. This is mainly because of the physical hand strength required to press the spray nozzles and the size of the safety gear. However, we’re flexible! If you have a group of slightly younger keen beans in Hawkes Bay, just let us know and we can adjust the session to suit their needs.

How long does a typical youth session last?

Standard youth project workshops usually run for about 2 to 2.5 hours. This gives the group enough time to learn the theory, practice their 'tags', and then collaborate on a final large-scale masterpiece. If you're looking for a more intensive multi-day project or a quick taster session for a community event, we can definitely customise the timing to fit your schedule.

Where do the workshops take place in Napier?

We can come to you! Whether it's a youth centre, a school car park, or a local park in Napier, we’re fully mobile. We also have access to specific legal wall locations if you don't have a space of your own. We use protective floor coverings to ensure we leave the site exactly as we found it—except for the amazing art we might leave behind!

Can we paint on a permanent wall?

Usually, we work on large shared plastic foils or wooden panels so the group can take their masterpiece home or display it at their youth hub. However, if you have a permanent wall that needs some love, we can certainly look at creating a permanent mural together. It’s a fantastic way for Napier youth to leave a lasting, positive mark on their community.

The experience

Why choose our graffiti projects?

Confidence booster: Watch young people transform from "I can't draw" to "Look what I made!" in just a couple of hours. ✨
Team building: Nothing brings a group together like collaborating on a massive, vibrant mural.
Professional mentors: Our artists are real-deal street art pros who love passing on their secrets to the next generation.
Zero stress booking: No upfront payment required—you only pay after the workshop is done and everyone is stoked.
Resilience & focus: Learning can control requires patience and practice, teaching valuable life skills in a fun environment.
Safe & legal: We provide a legitimate outlet for urban expression, teaching the difference between vandalism and art. 🏆

Step by step

Enquire and brainstorm: Reach out to us with your group size and vision. We’ll chat about what the rangatahi (youth) want to achieve.
Safety and theory: We kick things off with a safety briefing and a quick history of street art culture to get the vibes right.
Design sketches: Everyone gets a chance to grab a marker and map out their ideas on paper before hitting the walls.
Can control 101: Our artists demonstrate how to create thin lines, flares, and solid fills. Then, it's practice time!
The outline: We help the group scale up their design onto the main 'canvas', whether it’s a wall or a large-scale foil.
Bold colours: This is where the magic happens! The group works together to fill in the piece with vibrant Hawkes Bay-inspired colours.
The final cut: Adding those sharp outlines and highlights that make the artwork pop and look professional.
Photo op: We finish with a group photo in front of the masterpiece—the ultimate bragging rights for social media.

Local culture

Art and soul in the Hawkes Bay

Napier is world-famous for its Art Deco heritage, but there is a growing, edgy street art scene that provides a brilliant contrast to the vintage architecture. From the stunning 'Sea Walls' murals that highlight ocean conservation to the hidden gems in the laneways, Napier is a city that breathes creativity. Our youth projects tap into this local spirit, encouraging the next generation of Kiwi artists to contribute to the visual narrative of their own backyard. 🌊

Fun fact: Did you know Napier has one of the highest concentrations of world-class street art murals in New Zealand thanks to international festivals? It’s the perfect backdrop for inspiring young creatives!
