Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival crowds?
Absolutely! Safety is our top priority in the Darwin heat. We provide high-quality respirators, gloves, and protective suits to keep everyone's clothes clean. Our professional artists lead every session with a safety briefing, ensuring the spray cans are used correctly. We also recommend outdoor event organisers provide a shaded area or marquee so the crew and participants can stay cool while getting creative.
Can you handle large crowds at a major Darwin event?
We're totally flexible and can scale up or down depending on your festival's size. Whether you're hosting a small community fair at Nightcliff or a massive multi-day music festival at the Amphitheatre, we can provide multiple artists and enough gear for hundreds of participants. We thrive in high-energy environments and love the challenge of managing a constant flow of curious festival-goers wanting to have a crack!
Do you use stencils for festival activations?
You bet! While we love free-handing, stencils are a fantastic way to ensure everyone walks away with something they're proud of. We can even custom-cut stencils featuring your festival's logo, branding, or specific themes. It’s a great way to keep the art consistent with your event's vibe while still letting individuals add their own unique colour schemes and flair.
Do we need to provide any materials for the artists?
Not at all! We provide everything needed to make your event a success. Our mobile "Graffiti Kit" includes premium spray paint in a huge range of colours, caps for different line widths, protective gear, and the painting surface itself—whether that's a temporary wooden wall, large canvases, or even a vehicle. You just provide the space and the people; we’ll bring the vibe and the supplies!
How long does a typical festival workshop last?
We typically suggest between 1.5 to 3 hours for a structured workshop, but for festivals, we often run "drop-in" style sessions that last the whole day. This allows people to spend 15-20 minutes adding their mark before moving on to the next stage. We’ll work with your schedule to ensure the graffiti zone is pumping for the entire duration of your event.
Is this available for indoor venues or rented spaces?
Absolutely! We can set up temporary "plastic' walls (heavy-duty stretch wrap between pillars) or use freestanding plywood boards. This means we can create a massive street art gallery anywhere without leaving a single permanent mark on the venue. Once the festival is over, we pack it all up, and the site is left exactly as we found it—easy as!
