Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival-goers of all ages?
Safety is our top priority! We provide everyone with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your festival threads clean. Our professional artists lead the session with a full safety briefing, and we use low-odour, professional-grade spray paint. Whether you are in Hamilton's CBD or at a rural festival site, we ensure the workspace is well-ventilated and secure for all participants to enjoy the creative process without any worries.
Can you set up the workshop at any outdoor festival location in Hamilton?
Absolutely! We can set up our mobile graffiti walls almost anywhere in Hamilton. Whether your festival is at Claudelands, Garden Place, or a private park, we bring everything required. We just need a flat surface and a bit of space to work our magic. Our setup is designed to be high-impact but low-mess, making it the perfect addition to any Waikato event looking for a splash of colour and high-energy engagement.
How long does a typical festival graffiti session last?
Our festival workshops are super flexible. We usually run revolving sessions where people can drop in for 15-20 minutes to contribute to a mural, or we can host structured 90-minute workshops for smaller groups. We tailor the flow to match your festival's schedule, ensuring there's always something exciting happening at the Graffitifun station. It is all about keeping the energy high and the paint flowing throughout the day!
Do participants need any prior art experience to join in?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our pro artists guide everyone through the basics, from how to hold the can to creating cool effects like fades and drips. It is amazing to see Hamilton locals go from 'I can't draw a stick figure' to creating a massive, vibrant piece of street art in just one session. We provide the tricks and the confidence to help everyone unleash their inner artist.
What materials are included in the festival package?
We provide everything you need to create a masterpiece. This includes a wide range of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective clothing, masks, and the canvases or mobile walls themselves. You just need to bring your excitement and some old shoes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on. We handle the logistics and the cleanup, so you can focus on the festival vibes!
Can we choose a specific theme or logo for the mural?
Yes! We love creating themed art. Whether your Hamilton event has a specific message, a brand identity, or a seasonal theme (like the Boon Street Art vibes), we can pre-sketch outlines or guide the colour palette to match. This makes the final mural a perfect souvenir or backdrop for the event. Just let us know your vision, and our artists will help bring that concept to life on the wall.
