Is the graffiti workshop safe for teenagers?

Our workshops are super safe! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep everyone clean. Our professional artists are trained to supervise youth groups, ensuring that the spray cans are used correctly and that everyone follows basic safety protocols while having a blast. Safety is our top priority so you can focus on the art.

Do the kids need prior art experience?

Not at all! Our Queenstown youth projects are designed for all skill levels. Whether someone has never touched a spray can or is already doodling in their sketchbook, our artists provide step-by-step guidance. We start with the basics of 'can control' and move into more advanced techniques, so everyone ends up with a piece of art they are proud of.

How long does a typical session last?

The standard youth project workshop lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice different nozzle techniques, and complete a final masterpiece. We can also adjust the timing to fit into a specific school holiday program or community event schedule if needed. Just let us know your requirements!

What materials are included in the price?

We provide everything! Your booking includes premium spray paint in a huge range of colours, various 'caps' or nozzles for different effects, protective gear (masks, suits, gloves), and the canvases or boards for the final art. You just need to show up in some comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of dust on.

Where do the workshops take place in Queenstown?

We are very flexible! We can host the workshop at a dedicated outdoor location in Queenstown, or if you have a community centre or school grounds with a suitable outdoor space, we can come to you. We use mobile graffiti walls that can be set up almost anywhere with good ventilation. We'll help you find the perfect spot for your creative session.

Do you offer discounts for large community groups?

Yes, we certainly do! We offer special rates for larger youth groups, community organisations, and school holiday programs. Because our costs per person decrease when more people join the fun, we can offer more competitive pricing for big groups. Request a custom quote through our website to get the most accurate pricing for your specific numbers.

Can we choose a specific theme for the artwork?

Absolutely. While we love the 'free-style' nature of graffiti, we can definitely incorporate specific themes. Whether it’s about Queenstown's natural beauty, local Māori culture, or a specific community message like sustainability, our artists can help the youth translate those ideas into vibrant street art. It’s a great way to make the project even more meaningful for the participants.

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your next youth initiative in Queenstown? It’s more than just painting; it’s an experience they’ll talk about for months. 💪

Confidence boost: Seeing a giant piece of art they created from scratch gives kids a massive sense of achievement. 🏆
Expert mentors: Our artists aren't just talented; they are amazing at connecting with young people and sharing their passion.
Creative expression: Provides a safe, legal outlet for kids to explore urban art styles and find their own 'visual voice'. 🎤
Teamwork: Many of our projects involve collaborative murals where everyone has to work together to finish the masterpiece.
Stress-free for you: We handle everything from the setup to the cleanup. You just bring the group!
Zero risk: With our 'pay after' policy and backup artists, your event is guaranteed to go off without a hitch. 🔥

Step by step

Intro & inspiration: We start with a quick yarn about the history of street art and look at some epic examples to get the creative juices flowing.
Safety briefing: We suit everyone up in protective gear and explain how to use the equipment responsibly and safely.
Mastering the 'can': Our artists demonstrate 'can control', showing how distance and pressure change your lines from thin to fuzzy.
Sketching the design: Participants grab markers or light spray to outline their ideas onto the boards or walls.
Filling in the colour: This is where the magic happens! We teach layering techniques to make the colours pop and blend.
Outlining & detailing: We go back over the edges to sharpen the image and add those professional touches like highlights and shadows.
The 'Tag' finale: Every artist needs a signature. We help the kids create their own unique tag to sign off on their masterpiece.
Group photo & cleanup: We celebrate the hard work with a group photo in front of the finished mural before tidying up the gear.

Good to know

Duration: Usually 1.5 to 3 hours, but we can tailor sessions to your schedule.
Group sizes: We cater to anything from small groups of 10 to large community events with 50+ participants.
Included: All spray paint, caps, safety gear (masks, suits, gloves), and canvases or mobile walls.
Safety: Full PPG provided. Our artists are first-aid trained and experienced in working with youth.
Weather: We have indoor options and popup gazebos in case the Queenstown weather decides to be a bit 'fresh'. ❄️

Local culture

Queenstown might be known as the "Adventure Capital of the World," but there is a growing creative pulse beneath the snow-capped Remarkables. While the town is famous for bungy jumping and skiing, the local youth culture is increasingly turning to street art to express their connection to this stunning landscape. From hidden gems in industrial areas to community art initiatives near the lakefront, urban art is becoming a key part of the Queenstown identity.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Queenstown was originally named 'The Camp' before being renamed because it was 'fit for a Queen'? We think our murals add a bit of 'royal' flair to the local streets too! 🏔️

We love working in the Otago region, drawing inspiration from the turquoise waters of Lake Wakatipu and the rugged mountain ranges to help local kids create art that reflects their home.

Pricing

What's the investment?

Our youth project workshops are structured to be accessible for community groups and schools. Prices generally range from:

NZ$45 – NZ$95 per person

The final price depends on the number of participants, the duration of the workshop, and the amount of materials required. We believe in transparency and value for money.

No upfront payment required – you only pay after the workshop is complete and everyone is stoked with the result!
