Is it safe to have spray paint near food stalls?

Absolutely! We use water-based, low-odour spray paint for indoor or food-sensitive environments to ensure there are no lingering fumes. We also bring high-quality protective gear for participants and floor coverings to keep the venue spotless. Safety and cleanliness are our top priorities, so you can enjoy the food and the art without any worries about the environment or your health.

Is this activity suitable for children at the festival?

Bologna's food festivals are for everyone, and so are our workshops. We provide smaller cans for little hands and easy-to-follow templates. Our professional artists are great with kids and help them create something they can be proud of. It’s a fantastic way to keep the younger crowd entertained while the adults enjoy the local delicacies, making it a true family-friendly experience.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

We usually recommend between 1.5 to 3 hours for a full workshop, but for festivals, we often run 'drop-in' sessions. This allows people to join in for 15-20 minutes, add their touch to a communal mural, and then move on to the next food stand. We are completely flexible and can adapt the timing to fit your specific festival schedule and attendee flow.

Do participants need any prior artistic experience?

Not at all! Our professional artists guide everyone through the process, from holding the can to masterfully creating shadows. We provide stencils and outlines so that even someone who has never touched a spray can before can walk away with a piece of art that looks incredible. It’s all about having fun and expressing your own unique creativity in a relaxed setting.

What materials do you provide for the festival?

We bring everything needed for a successful workshop. This includes professional-grade spray paint in a rainbow of colours, protective suits, gloves, masks, and the canvases or boards themselves. We even have backup artists on standby to ensure your event goes ahead no matter what. You just provide the space and the crowd, and we will handle the rest of the artistic logistics.

How does the payment process work?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'pay after' policy. We don't require any upfront payment or deposits to secure your date in Bologna. We believe in the quality of our work and want you to be 100% satisfied with the setup and execution before the invoice is settled. This makes the booking process stress-free and straightforward for event organisers.

Can we request a specific theme for the graffiti art?

Yes, we love a good theme! Whether you want a mural of a giant tortellino, a tribute to Bologna’s 'Two Towers', or a piece that incorporates your festival’s specific branding and colours, we can make it happen. Just let us know your vision during the planning phase, and our artists will create sketches that perfectly match the culinary spirit of your specific event.

Local culture

Bologna is a city of layers—from the terracotta rooftops and medieval porticos to the bold murals that decorate districts like Pratello and the university zone. There is a deep-rooted respect for public art here, making it the perfect backdrop for a graffiti-inspired food event. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, allowing festival-goers to contribute to the city’s evolving visual landscape. Imagine your guests sipping a local Pignoletto while spray-painting a vibrant mural near the Piazza Maggiore or in the trendy Bolognina district. We embrace the "Dotterossa" (Red City) vibe, encouraging participants to use the bold, warm tones that define Bologna’s unique character, ensuring your festival feels authentically connected to the local street art culture.

Pricing

Our workshop packages for festivals are designed to be as flexible as your menu. Pricing typically ranges from €25 to €55 per person, depending on the scale of the event, the number of artists required, and the duration of the entertainment.

Because every festival in Bologna has its own unique flavour, we recommend contacting us for a bespoke arrangement. Request a custom quote today to get a tailormade offer for your event.
