Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival-goers?
Absolutely! Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep everyone safe and clean. Our instructors are professional artists who facilitate a controlled environment, ensuring that the only thing 'wild' about the event is the creativity. We also use low-odour paints whenever possible to keep the festival vibe fresh and enjoyable for all attendees.
What kind of space do you need at the festival?
We are incredibly flexible! Whether you have a massive open field or a smaller paved area, we can set up custom wooden walls or use temporary cellophane 'cellograff' fencing between trees. As long as we have a flat surface to stand on and a bit of room to move, we can bring the Graffitifun experience to your Dunedin event. We handle the entire set-up and pack-down process.
Do participants need prior artistic 'skills'?
Not a bit! That is the beauty of our workshops. We cater to everyone from toddlers (with a bit of help) to grandparents. Our artists guide participants through the basics—how to hold the can, nozzle control, and layering. Most people are blown away by what they can create in just 10 or 20 minutes. It's all about having a go and having fun.
Can we choose a specific theme for the mural?
Yes, definitely! We love collaborating with festival organisers to match the event's theme. Whether you want a 'Garden Party' vibe, a 'Retro 90s' throwback, or something futuristic and neon, we can tailor the colours, stencils, and the final mural design to fit perfectly. It’s a great way to reinforce your festival's branding while providing world-class entertainment.
What happens if the Dunedin weather doesn't play ball?
Weather in Dunedin can be a bit 'four seasons in one day,' so we always come prepared. We can set up under marquees or gazebos if rain is forecast. Our paint is generally fine in light drizzle, but for heavy Otago southerlies, we’ll work with you to find a sheltered spot or an indoor alternative so the creative energy doesn't get dampened.
What materials do you provide?
We usually work with high-quality spray paint for that authentic street art feel. However, for specific indoor events or kids-focused zones, we can also incorporate paint markers or water-based alternatives. We provide all the 'gear'—cans, caps, gloves, and protection—so your guests just need to show up with their imagination ready to go!
How do we book and what does it cost?
Getting a quote is easy as! Because every festival is unique—from the number of expected visitors to the duration of the event—we provide custom pricing. Just let us know your estimated numbers and what you’re looking for, and we’ll send over a transparent cost estimate. There's no upfront payment required, and we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
