Why choose us in Perth?

Why choose a Graffitifun youth project for your next community event in Perth? It is the ultimate way to bridge the gap between "boredom" and "brilliance." Here is what makes our workshops a win for young West Aussies:

  • Epic engagement: Forget boring lectures; this is hands-on, high-octane creativity that keeps everyone focused. 🎤
  • Skill building: We teach technical spray techniques, colour theory, and spatial awareness.
  • Safe environment: We provide professional-grade safety gear and low-pressure paint for a worry-free experience.
  • Confidence boost: Seeing a massive mural come together gives participants a huge sense of pride. 🏆
  • Zero cancellations: We have backup artists on standby, so your youth program always goes ahead as planned.
  • Local legends: Work with actual Perth-based artists who know the local scene and culture. ✨

How it works

  1. Intro & safety: We kick things off with a quick chat about the history of street art and a vital safety briefing including mask fitting.
  2. Design brainstorming: Our artist helps the group brainstorm a theme or a 'crew name' for the day's project.
  3. Sketching basics: Before touching the cans, we grab markers to sketch out the design and understand letter structure.
  4. Can control 101: Participants learn how to hold the can, swap nozzles, and create different line widths.
  5. The first spray: Everyone gets a chance to practice basic shapes and lines on their workspace to build confidence.
  6. Fill-ins & fades: We move on to the fun part—adding vibrant colours, gradients, and 'fades' to the design.
  7. The outline: The artist demonstrates how to make the piece 'pop' with crisp outlines and 3D effects.
  8. Final touches: We add 'highlights' and 'bits' (small details) to give the mural a professional, finished look.
  9. Group photo: We wrap up by celebrating the final masterpiece with a group photoshoot before packing down.

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for teenagers?

Absolutely! We prioritise safety above all else. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every participant. Our Perth artists are experienced professionals who provide a full safety briefing before any cans are shaken. We use low-pressure spray paint which is easier for beginners to control, ensuring a safe, supervised, and fun environment for all young creators involved.

How long does a youth graffiti project last?

Our sessions in Perth typically run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This duration is the 'sweet spot' for youth engagement—it provides enough time to learn the fundamental techniques and complete a high-quality piece of art without losing focus. We can easily adjust the timing to fit into a specific school holiday program or community event schedule if you have time constraints.

Do the participants need to have previous art skills?

Zero experience is required! In fact, most of the youth we work with in WA have never held a spray can before. Our workshops are designed to take beginners from 'sketch to spray' in a single session. Our artists are great at breaking down complex art concepts into simple, easy-to-follow steps so that everyone walks away feeling like a pro.

Where in Perth do these workshops take place?

We are fully mobile! We can bring the workshop to your youth centre, school grounds, or local park in Perth, provided we have permission and a suitable outdoor space. Alternatively, we can help arrange a location at one of the legal street art spots around the city. We bring all the boards, paint, and gear to you, wherever you are.

Do you teach legal graffiti or 'tagging'?

While we love the raw energy of street art, we strictly teach legal graffiti. Our Perth workshops focus on 'style writing' and mural art performed on mobile boards or authorised walls. We educate young people on the difference between illegal vandalism and constructive street art, encouraging them to use their skills for community beautification and personal expression within the law.

What should the participants wear?

We recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto sleeves and shoes! Beyond that, just bring some water, sun protection if we are outdoors, and plenty of creative energy. We handle all the professional art supplies.

What is the maximum group size for a youth project?

Our Perth youth projects are quite flexible, usually catering to groups of 10 to 30 participants per artist. For larger community events or school year groups, we can send multiple artists to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention and 'can-time'. If you have a specific group size in mind, just let us know and we will scale the workshop to fit perfectly.
