Do I need any previous art experience to participate?

Not at all! Our Calgary food festival entertainment is designed for everyone, from toddlers to grandparents. Our professional artists guide you through the process, starting with basic shapes and safety. Most people are shocked at how quickly they can create something awesome. Whether you are a total beginner or a seasoned doodler, we’ll make sure you leave feeling like a street art pro.🎨

Is the graffiti workshop safe and clean for festival attendees?

We take safety seriously! We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective ponchos to keep your festival outfit clean. We prefer working in well-ventilated outdoor areas, which is perfect for the Calgary festival scene. Our paint is professional-grade but used under the watchful eye of our experts to ensure a safe, splatter-free environment for all participants and onlookers.🛡️

Can you customize the graffiti theme to match our food festival?

Absolutely! We love the Stampede City spirit. We can tailor the color schemes, stencils, and final mural themes to match your food festival's specific vibe. Whether it’s a BBQ theme, a vegan fest, or a celebration of global flavors, we work with you to ensure the art reflects the culinary heart of your event. Just let us know your vision!🍔

How long does a typical session last during a festival?

For large Calgary festivals, we usually recommend a 'walk-in' format where people can join for 15-20 minutes, or we can host structured sessions of 60-90 minutes. We are super flexible and can rotate large groups of people throughout the day, ensuring everyone gets a chance to pick up a spray can without long wait times. This keeps the energy high and the crowds moving!✨

What kind of surfaces do you spray on? Do we need to provide a wall?

We’ve got you covered! We can set up professional mobile graffiti walls or use large canvases that can be moved. These walls provide a sturdy, high-impact surface for art without needing any permanent structures. After the festival, you can even auction off the canvases for charity or display them at your next Calgary event as a memory of the fun.🏗️

What happens if an artist is unavailable on the day?

We offer a 'No Stress' booking policy. No upfront payment is required, and you pay only after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied. Plus, we always have backup artists on standby in the Calgary area, so even if someone gets sick, your festival entertainment is guaranteed to go off without a hitch. We're all about reliability!✅

The experience

Why settle for a standard photobooth when you can have a live, breathing art installation? Here is why Calgary festival organizers love working with Graffitifun: 🔥

Ultimate Engagement: It’s not just a show—your guests ARE the show. They become artists for the day.
Brand Visibility: We can incorporate your festival logo or sponsors directly into the mural design. 🏆
Zero Stress: No upfront payment and a guaranteed backup artist mean you can breathe easy.
All Ages Fun: From kids with their first 'tag' to adults rediscovering their creativity, everyone loves it.
Professional Edge: Our artists aren't just talented; they're great with crowds and experts at teaching. 🎤
Perfect Souvenirs: Participants can often take home their own mini-canvases or photos of the massive community piece.

Step by step

Consultation & Vision: We chat about your Calgary food festival goals, location, and the 'vibe' you want to create.
Design & Prep: Our artists create custom stencils and select a color palette that complements your festival branding.
Set-up: We arrive early at your Calgary venue to set up mobile walls, drop cloths, and our organized 'spray station.'
Safety Briefing: Every participant gets geared up with masks and gloves while learning the essential 'dos and don'ts.'
Technique Demo: Our pros show off 'can control' basics—fading, outlines, and how to get those crisp edges.
Creative Explosion: It’s your turn! Participants start filling in designs and adding their personal flair to the mural.
Professional Finishing: Our artists add the final 'pop' with highlights and sharp outlines to make the community art look gallery-ready.
Photo Ops & Clean-up: We wrap up the session with group photos and handle all the teardown so you don't have to lift a finger.

Duration: Flexible! We offer anything from 2-hour pop-ups to full-day multi-artist setups.
Group Sizes: We can accommodate small VIP tents or thousands of general admission guests.
Included: Premium low-pressure spray paint, protective gear (masks, gloves, ponchos), mobile walls, and expert guidance.
Safety: We use professional-grade respirator masks and ensure all workspaces are outdoor-ready and safe.
Location: We come to you anywhere in the Calgary area—parks, parking lots, or indoor venues with proper ventilation.

Local culture

Calgary has a surprisingly deep relationship with street art, especially with the world-renowned BUMP Festival (Beltline Urban Murals Project) transforming city alleys into open-air galleries. We bring that same urban spirit to your event, tapping into the local love for public art. Calgary's "Can-do" attitude—the same spirit that fuels the Stampede—is exactly what we see every time a local picks up a spray can for the first time. 🤠

Fun Fact: Did you know Calgary is home to some of the tallest murals in Canada? The city's appreciation for large-scale art makes it the perfect backdrop for a collaborative graffiti workshop!
