Creating an inclusive space to spray paint once a month in Darwin City. The event only costs if you want to use some of our paint. Not at all. YES!

🦋🌙 See below for Frequently Asked Questions 👇👇

▪️ Does it cost money to attend this event? Access to the communal stash is by donation ($10-$20 will suffice). If you can’t afford a donation don’t worry you are still more than welcome to use our community paint (we don't want money getting in the way of you joining in).

▪️ What if I don't have paint? Bring some cash to put in the communal stash

($10-$20 will suffice). If you can’t afford a donation don’t worry you are still more than welcome to use our community paint (we don't want money getting in the way of you joining in).

▪️ If I have my own paint do I still have to pay? That's only for people who want to paint and don't have their own.

▪️ I don't really feel like painting but I still want to come? Bring something else to work on, skate around or just hang out. Not everyone will be painting.

▪️ Is it just spray painting or can I use brush paint, stencils, postering etc? You can use whatever you like! Come write poetry on the wall with a pen, learn how to spray paint or try something new. It is totally up to you.

▪️ I haven't painted before should I come? This is the perfect space to learn.

▪️ Is this a workshop? No it's a social hangout with no structure. You can make it whatever you want 🙂 We'll share basic tips and tricks (if you want) and then you can do your own thing.

▪️ How much space do we get to paint? As much as you want. We'll bring some background paint that's been donated and will clear out a section of the wall. But feel free to find your own space to work on your own art work.

▪️ Food and drink? Surrounding outlets will be open however we recommend bringing a water bottle! And snacks are always welcome (ahem encouraged) 😉

▪️ Were these sessions called Gurls Graff Darwin before? Yes, we have changed the name to make it more inclusive of other gender identities 🙂
