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

Absolutely! While we love a bit of Newcastle sunshine, our youth projects are designed to be flexible. We often use sheltered outdoor areas or well-ventilated indoor spaces if the weather turns sour. We always have a backup plan ready to go so the creative flow doesn't have to stop just because of a bit of rain. Safety and comfort are our top priorities, ensuring the artists stay dry while they work.

Do the kids need any previous art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners who have never touched a spray can to budding young artists. Our professional mentors guide everyone through the basic techniques like 'canning' and 'fading' before we move on to the big stuff. It’s all about building confidence and having a crack at something new in a supportive environment. Everyone leaves feeling like a pro!

Is spray painting safe for young people?

Safety is our number one priority. All participants are provided with high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep their clothes clean. We use low-odour professional spray paint and conduct all sessions in well-ventilated areas. Our artists are highly trained in supervising youth groups and ensure that all equipment is handled correctly and safely throughout the entire project duration.

Can you host the workshop at our own venue?

We offer total flexibility! We can come to your youth centre, sports club, or school in Newcastle, or we can arrange a session at one of our pre-approved local street art spots. If you have a specific wall in mind (with permission!), we can even help transform that space into a permanent community masterpiece. Just let us know what works best for your group's logistics.

How long does a typical youth graffiti project last?

We find that sessions lasting between 1.5 to 3 hours are the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy high and focus sharp. This allows enough time for the safety briefing, technique practice on plastic foil, and the final creation of a large-scale mural or individual canvases. We can definitely tailer the timing to fit into your specific youth program or event schedule.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything! The cost includes premium spray paint in a huge range of colours, caps (nozzles), gloves, masks, protective suits, and the surfaces—whether that's large-scale cling film walls or individual canvases for the participants to take home. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and wear some old shoes just in case. We take care of all the setup and the pack-down too.

How does the ‘pay afterwards’ policy work?

We've made it as easy as possible. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. After the workshop is completed and everyone is stoked with the results, we’ll settle the payment. This ensures you are 100% happy with the experience. We accept various payment methods and can provide all necessary tax invoices for community organisation records and grant acquittals.

The experience

Why bring a Graffitifun workshop to your Newcastle youth group? It’s more than just a bit of paint on a wall—it’s a life-changing creative experience! 🚀

Boost Confidence: There's nothing like the "wow" moment when a young person realises they’ve created a massive piece of art.
Professional Mentors: Our artists aren't just talented; they're passionate about mentoring the next generation.
Zero Risk, All Fun: With our "pay later" policy and backup artist guarantee, your event is in safe hands.
Team Spirit: Collective mural projects teach kids how to collaborate, communicate, and respect each other's space.
Skill Building: Participants learn real-world artistic techniques like colour theory, composition, and scale. 💪
All-Inclusive: We handle the mess, the gear, and the cleanup—you just bring the energy!

Step by step

The safety rundown: We kick things off with a proper safety briefing, fitting everyone with masks and suits, and explaining how to handle the cans responsibly.
Mastering the nozzle: Our pros teach the kids about 'pressure control' and different nozzle types to create thin lines, fat drips, and smooth gradients.
The practice run: Before hitting the main wall, everyone gets to practice their 'tag' or 'throw-up' on our mobile practice walls to build muscle memory.
Concept sketching: We sit down as a group to brainstorm themes, colours, and styles that represent the Newcastle youth community.
Outline and fill: The participants start blocking in the large shapes of the mural, learning how to layer colours without making them muddy.
Adding the 'pop': This is where the magic happens! We add highlights, 3D shadows, and sharp outlines to make the artwork jump off the wall.
The final reveal: We take a step back, snap some epic photos of the crew and their creation, and celebrate the incredible work achieved.

Good to know

Duration: Usually 1.5 to 3 hours (we can adjust to fit your schedule).
Group Sizes: We cater to everything from small groups of 5 to large community events with 50+ participants.
What’s Included: Spray cans, premium caps, FFP3 masks, gloves, protective overalls, and canvases or temporary walls.
Safety First: Fully insured, WWCC (Working with Children Check) verified artists, and professional-grade safety gear provided for every participant.
Weather: Flexible indoor and outdoor options available to keep the project on track regardless of the Newcastle weather.

Local culture

Newcastle has transformed from a gritty steel city into one of Australia's most vibrant street art hubs. From the iconic murals decorating the West End to the hidden gems in the lanes of Newcastle East, the "Newy" art scene is pumping. Our workshops tap into this local energy, drawing inspiration from the Big Picture Fest and the city's rich industrial heritage. We love showing the local grommets that they don't have to head to Sydney or Melbourne to find world-class urban culture—it's right here in the 02! 🌊⚓

Fun Fact: Did you know Newcastle hosts some of the largest street art festivals in regional NSW? The city's walls are a rotating gallery for international and local talent alike!

Pricing

Our Newcastle youth projects are competitively priced to ensure community groups and schools can access high-quality creative experiences. Prices generally range from A$40 to A$90 per person, depending on the number of participants, the length of the session, and the materials required (like take-home canvases vs. large murals).

The best part? No upfront payment is required! You only pay after the workshop is complete and everyone is stoked with the result. ✨
