Our Queenstown festival packages are as unique as the events themselves. Pricing typically ranges from NZ$45 to NZ$95 per person, depending on the scale of the mural, the number of artists required, and the duration of the event. Small-scale "have-a-go" stations are great for budget-conscious community events, while large-scale brand activations are priced on a custom basis.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival-goers?
Absolutely! We use high-quality, low-odour water-based spray paints for our festival workshops where possible, and we provide all necessary protective gear including masks, gloves, and ponchos. Safety is our top priority, and our professional artists provide a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure the spray zone is well-ventilated and kept at an appropriate distance from food stalls or main stages.
What kind of space do you need at the festival grounds?
We are extremely flexible and can scale our setup to fit your event's footprint. We've worked in tight alleyways and sprawling mountain-side fields. Typically, we use mobile wooden walls or large-scale plastic wrap 'cellograff' walls that can be keyed into existing structures or stand alone. Whether you want a small 3-metre 'tag wall' or a massive 20-metre collaborative mural, we can make it happen in Queenstown.
How long does a typical session last for an attendee?
Our festival workshops are designed for high-flow engagement. A standard 'drop-in' session for an individual usually lasts about 15 to 20 minutes—just long enough to learn the basics and leave a mark. However, we can also run more structured 1.5-hour masterclasses for VIP ticket holders or smaller groups. The beauty of graffiti is its speed; we can get hundreds of people involved over a single weekend!
Do people need any previous art experience to join in?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone from little grommets to grandparents. Our Queenstown artists are experts at guiding complete beginners. We use stencils, easy techniques, and 'filling' methods so that even if you've never held a spray can, the end result looks professional and vibrant. It's all about having a go and enjoying the creative process.
What happens if the Queenstown weather doesn't play ball?
We are rugged and ready for Queenstown's 'four seasons in one day' reputation! If there is light rain, we can usually continue under a marquee or pop-up gazebo. If the weather turns truly gnarly and safety becomes an issue, we have a flexible rescheduling policy or can move the activity to an indoor backup venue. We also have backup artists available to ensure your event is never left hanging.
Do you provide graffiti entertainment for festivals outside of Queenstown?
We love a good road trip! While we are focusing on the Queenstown festival scene, our crew is fully mobile. Shifting our gear to events in Wanaka, Arrowtown, or even over the hill to Cromwell is no dramas at all. Just let us know where your event is located when you request a quote, and we will factor the travel into our transparent pricing.
