Is graffiti legal in Dundalk?

Dundalk is famous for its 'Town of Murals' project, and we respect that heritage. Our workshops are held at designated legal walls or private venues where we have full permission to paint. We teach the difference between illegal tagging and the beautiful street art culture you see around the town centre, ensuring everyone learns to express themselves responsibly while having a blast.

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our workshop participants in Dundalk have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists are brilliant at breaking down the basics, from how to hold the nozzle to creating clean lines and shadows. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you can create something impressive with just a bit of guidance and the right technique.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We’ve got you covered. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. However, since we are working with permanent spray paint in an outdoor or semi-outdoor environment, we always recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty or stained. Safety and comfort are our top priorities!

How long does a typical session last?

A standard cultural event workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a quick history of street art, a safety briefing, some practice sessions on the 'practice wall', and finally, the creation of your main masterpiece. If you have a larger group or a specific schedule in mind, we can certainly adjust the timing to suit your needs.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Dundalk weather can be a bit 'Irish' at times! If we are planning an outdoor session and the rain is heavy, we usually move to a covered area or an indoor space that is well-ventilated. We always have a backup plan ready so that the fun doesn't have to stop just because of a few clouds over the Castletown River.

Are materials included in the workshop price?

Everything is included in the price! We provide all the professional spray cans in a rainbow of colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear, and the surfaces we’ll be painting on. You don’t need to bring a single thing except your creativity and maybe a camera to capture the progress of your artwork.

Can I book a workshop for a small group or just myself?

Our workshops are very popular for community groups and corporate outings, but we can accommodate smaller groups too. Generally, we suggest a minimum group size for the best atmosphere, but if you're a solo artist or a pair, get in touch! We often have open sessions or can find a way to fit you into the Dundalk street art calendar.
