Do you provide all the equipment and paint for the festival?
Absolutely! We bring everything required for a successful festival activation to Wellington. This includes high-quality spray paint in a rainbow of colours, protective gloves, masks, and Gallagher-strengthened floor coverings to keep the venue tidy. We can provide mobile graffiti walls or large-scale canvases depending on your festival layout. You just provide the space and the crowd, and our professional artists handle the setup, execution, and pack-down.
Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival-goers?
Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paints and provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves. Our tutors are experienced professionals who provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We also ensure the workshop area is well-ventilated and clearly cordoned off from the general festival public to maintain a safe environment for everyone involved.
What age groups can participate in the workshop?
Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and accessible for all ages and skill levels. Whether it's a family-friendly event on the Wellington Waterfront or a late-night arts festival, we scale the complexity to suit the crowd. Kids love the tactile nature of the paint, while adults enjoy the creative release. No prior art experience is needed—our artists guide every participant to create something they can be proud of.
How many people can participate at once?
We are incredibly flexible! For large-scale Wellington events, we often run 'drop-in' style sessions where hundreds of people can contribute to a massive collaborative mural throughout the day. Alternatively, we can run scheduled 30-to-60-minute mini-workshops for smaller groups. We’ll work with your festival schedule to ensure the flow matches your event’s peak times and programming needs perfectly.
Can we book a live mural painting instead of a workshop?
Yes, we do! If you prefer a 'watch and learn' vibe rather than a hands-on workshop, our artists can perform live spray paint demonstrations. This is a massive drawcard for festivals, as people love watching a blank wall transform into a masterpiece over several hours. We can even incorporate your festival’s branding or a specific Kiwi theme into the final artwork to make it truly unique.
What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?
Weather in the 'Coolest Little Capital' can be a bit unpredictable! If the Wellington wind or rain kicks in, we can move the activation under a marquee or indoors, provided there is adequate ventilation. We always have backup plans and can adjust our setup to suit the conditions. Our team is used to the local climate and will work with you to ensure the show goes on.
How do I book and what are the payment terms?
Booking is easy and stress-free. Once we've chatted about your festival's specific needs, we’ll lock in the date. The best part? There’s no upfront payment required—you can pay after the workshop is successfully completed. We also have backup artists on standby, so you never have to worry about a cancellation. Just reach out via our contact form for a custom quote to get started!
