Is the graffiti workshop safe for teenagers?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our professional artists are trained to supervise youth groups, ensuring that the spray cans are used correctly and responsibly. We only use professional-grade paints in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated workshops spaces to keep everyone safe while they're getting creative. ✨

Do the kids need prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to budding young artists. Our Wellington-based mentors walk the group through everything from holding the can to advanced layering techniques. We focus on building confidence and having a blast, so whether they can draw a stick figure or a masterpiece, they’ll leave feeling like a pro. 🎨

How long does a typical session last?

A standard youth project workshop in Wellington usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time to cover the history of street art, practice basic techniques on plastic wrap or practice walls, and then let everyone go wild on their final project. We can also customise the duration to fit into your specific holiday programme or school schedule. ⏱️

What materials are included in the youth project?

We come fully prepared! We provide all the professional spray paint, a wide variety of nozzle caps for different effects, protective clothing, and the 'canvas' (which could be a wall, boards, or even individual canvases to take home). All you need to bring is some old shoes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on and a whole lot of energy! 🎒

What happens if it rains on the day?

Wellington weather can be a bit 'four seasons in one day,' but we don't let it dampen the fun! We have several covered outdoor locations and indoor workshop spaces available throughout the city. If we’re planning an outdoor session and it looks like a classic southerly is coming through, we’ll coordinate with you to move to a sheltered spot or reschedule. ☁️

What is the ideal group size for these workshops?

We find that groups of 10 to 30 work best for youth projects to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention from our artists. However, we have a large team of backup artists in New Zealand, so we can easily cater to much larger groups or entire school year levels by bringing in extra mentors. Just let us know your numbers! 👥

What are the benefits of street art for young people?

Graffiti workshops are incredible for youth development! They encourage self-expression, build fine motor skills, and teach the importance of planning and patience. Beyond the art, it’s a massive confidence booster to see a large-scale project come to life. In a team setting, it fosters collaboration and communication as they work together to create a cohesive mural for their community or school. 🏆

Local culture

Wellington isn't just the political capital; it’s the creative heart of Aotearoa. From the iconic murals in Hannahs Laneway to the ever-changing street art around Te Karo Park, the city is a living gallery. Our youth projects tap into this local 'Pōneke' energy, drawing inspiration from the rugged coastline and the bustling urban vibe. We encourage our workshop participants to look at the world around them for inspiration—whether that’s the native birds of Zealandia or the street culture of Cuba Street.

Fun Fact: Did you know Wellington has one of the highest densities of street art per capita in New Zealand? It's the perfect backdrop for young people to discover their own creative identity! 🥝
