Will our festival guests get paint on their clothes?

Absolutely! We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and specialised masks to ensure everyone stays clean and safe. Our water-based paint options are also available for indoor South African food festivals. While we take every precaution, we always suggest wearing comfortable clothes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of 'creative character' on. We handle the setup and the cleanup, so you just focus on the flavor and the art.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

We are totally flexible! A standard interactive session usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours, but for large-scale Durban food festivals, we can run 'drop-in' style stations that go on all day. This allows hundreds of visitors to contribute to a massive communal mural or take part in a quick 10-minute 'tagging' workshop between tasting Different dishes. We scale our team to match your event's foot traffic.

Do people need to be artistic to join in?

Zero experience is needed! Our professional graffiti artists are experts at guiding complete beginners. We use a 'paint-by-number' style approach for murals or provide easy-to-follow templates for individual canvases. Whether it is a kid with a cupcake or a foodie looking for a new hobby, we make sure every participant walks away feeling like a street art pro. It’s all about the fun and the vibe!

Is it safe to have spray paint near a food festival environment?

Yes, safety is our top priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and provide professional-grade respiratory protection. Our artists provide a safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We also ensure our workspace is well-ventilated and cordoned off from food preparation areas to maintain hygiene standards while still being right in the heart of the festival action.

What happens if it rains during our Durban event?

Durban weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. If you have an indoor space or a marquee, we can easily set up there using low-odor paints. If the event is outdoors and a sudden coastal shower hits, we use quick-dry techniques and protective gazebos. We also have a dedicated team of backup artists available, so your booking is always 100% guaranteed regardless of last-minute changes.

How do we book and what are the costs?

Getting a quote is super easy and transparent. Since every festival in Durban is unique—ranging from small craft markets to massive stadium events—our pricing depends on the number of participants and the amount of materials needed. You can use our online Cost Calculator for an instant estimate, or simply hit the 'Request a Quote' button to get a personalized breakdown within 24 hours. No hidden fees, ever!

Instagram gold: A live mural is a massive "selfie magnet," ensuring your festival trends on social media long after the last plate is cleared. 📸
Universal appeal: From kids to gogos, everyone is fascinated by the magic of spray paint. It’s inclusive fun for the whole family! 🏆
Themed creativity: We can theme the artwork to match your food—from neon pineapples to spicy chili peppers, we bring your menu to life. 🔥

Local culture

Durban’s street art scene is as diverse as its famous bunny chow. From the iconic murals decorating the beachfront to the hidden gems in Riverhorse Valley, the city lives and breathes creativity. We draw inspiration from the warm Indian Ocean vibes and the gritty, industrial aesthetic of the Durban Harbour to create art that feels authentically local. 🎨

Fun fact: Did you know that Durban is home to some of the largest legal graffiti walls in South Africa? The city has a long history of using street art to celebrate its multicultural heritage, making it the perfect stage for a creative food festival activation! 🇿🇦

Pricing

Our festival packages in Durban are designed to be as flexible as our art. Costs typically range from R400 to R900 per person, or we can provide a flat-rate day price for large-scale public events.
