Pricing
Our festival packages are as unique as your event. Prices generally range between A$40 and A$90 per person, depending on the scale of the activation, the number of artists required, and the materials used. We offer everything from quick-turnover 'tagging stations' to massive weekend-long mural builds.
Because every festival has different needs, we don't do 'one size fits all.' For the best experience and a price that fits your budget, let's chat about your vision! 💸
Frequently asked questions
What materials do you provide for festival graffiti workshops?
We provide everything needed for a high-energy festival activation! This includes premium low-pressure spray cans (which are easier to control), protective gloves, masks, and ponchos to keep clothes clean, and the 'canvas'—which can be anything from professional boards to a shipping container. Our professional artists also bring drop cloths to ensure the festival grounds remain spotless while the creativity flows.
Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival crowds?
Absolutely! Safety is our top priority at every Brisbane event. We use high-quality spray paint and provide all necessary safety gear, including masks and gloves. Our professional artists are highly experienced in managing large crowds and ensuring that everyone from kids to adults can participate in a controlled, safe environment. We also ensure our setup is well-ventilated and secure.
Do participants need any prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from absolute beginners to seasoned creators. Most festival-goers have never held a spray can before, and that is where the magic happens. Our artists provide quick 'speed-tutorials' on how to handle the can, create crisp lines, and fill in colours, so anyone can contribute a piece they are proud of in minutes.
How much space do you need at the festival grounds?
We are incredibly flexible! Depending on your festival’s layout, we can set up vertical wooden walls, stretch large-scale canvases, or even bring in mobile structures. If you want something truly unique, we can facilitate live painting on a vehicle or a dedicated 'legal wall' space. We just need a flat area and a bit of 'breathing room' for the participants to move.
What happens if it rains during our outdoor event?
Our artists are the best in the business—they don't let a bit of 'liquid sunshine' stop the show! We usually recommend a marquee or covered area for the workshop anyway to provide shade from the Brisbane sun. If the weather gets truly wild, we have backup plans and flexible scheduling to ensure your festival entertainment isn't washed out. Plus, our backup artist policy means we never cancel!
What types of festivals or events are best suited for street art?
Graffiti is a massive hit at almost any event! While we thrive at arts and music festivals, we’re also a popular choice for community fairs, sporting events, food truck rallies, and youth summits. Because our workshops are so visual and interactive, they serve as both entertainment for the participants and a 'live show' for passers-by who just want to watch the art emerge.
Can we keep the artwork created during the workshop?
One of the best things about a graffiti workshop is the physical artwork left behind. Many festival organisers keep the finished canvases to display at future events, auction them off for charity, or even use them as backdrops for photo booths. Alternatively, individual participants can often take home smaller boards they’ve worked on as a permanent, cool souvenir of their awesome day at your festival.
