Do I need to have any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our Newcastle public art workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to closet creatives. Our professional artists break down the 'can-control' techniques into easy-to-follow steps. You'll go from shaky lines to a masterpiece quicker than you can grab a coffee on Darby Street. We focus on the process and having a blast, so don't worry if you haven't picked up a pen in years.

What should I wear and what is provided?

We've got you covered from head to toe! Graffitifun provides all the professional-grade spray cans in a rainbow of colours, high-quality caps (nozzles), and safety gear. This includes protective overalls to keep your threads clean, gloves, and masks. Just make sure you wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes that you don't mind getting a little dust on. Everything else is sorted by us!

Is the workshop safe for kids and beginners?

Safety is our top priority while we're getting creative. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary PPE, including gloves and masks. All sessions are led by experienced pros who supervise the entire process, ensuring a safe environment for everyone from kids to corporate teams. We follow all local Newcastle safety guidelines to make sure the only thing you're 'risking' is having too much fun.

Where exactly in Newcastle do the workshops take place?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexibility. We can come to your location in Newcastle—whether it's a backyard, a school, or a corporate car park—or we can host you at one of our partner creative spaces. We use mobile graffiti walls that we set up and pack down, leaving your venue exactly how we found it (minus the awesome new art on our removable panels!).

What happens if it rains on the day of our session?

Newcastle weather can be a bit unpredictable, but the art doesn't stop! If we're outdoors and it looks like a washout, we usually have a backup indoor plan or we can reschedule to a better day. We always check the forecast leading up to your booking and will keep you in the loop. Our goal is to ensure you have the best experience possible, come rain or shine.

How long does a typical graffiti workshop last?

Standard workshops usually run for about 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a quick intro, practicing your 'tag' and basic strokes, and then getting stuck into the main piece. If you're looking for something more intensive or a quick 'taster' session for a festival, we can definitely tailor the duration to fit your Newcastle event schedule. Just let us know what you're after!

Can you accommodate large groups or corporate teams?

We love a big crew! We can cater to everything from small private groups of 5 to large-scale corporate brand activations or school groups of over 100. For larger groups, we simply bring in more of our pro artists to ensure everyone gets that hands-on guidance. No matter the size of your group, everyone gets plenty of 'can-time' to perfect their style.

Local culture

Newcastle has transformed from a gritty industrial powerhouse into a vibrant hub of Aussie street art. Walking through the CBD or the East End, you'll see massive murals that tell the story of our city's heritage and its bright, creative future. Places like the Big Picture Fest have put Newy on the map as a global destination for public art. Our workshops tap into this local energy, giving you a taste of the same techniques used by the pros decorating our city walls.

Fun Fact: Did you know Newcastle is home to some of the largest legal street art walls in New South Wales? The city’s "Big Picture" initiative has turned once-drab alleys into world-class outdoor galleries!
