Can we host the graffiti workshop indoors at our food festival?

Absolutely! We use water-based, low-odour spray paint for our indoor setups at Ottawa food festivals. We also bring heavy-duty floor protection and professional ventilation fans if needed. Safety and cleanliness are our top priorities, so you can enjoy the creative vibes without any mess or harsh fumes hitting your nostrils while you eat.

How long does it take for a festival-goer to participate?

For food festivals, we recommend our 'Drop-in Live Art' format. It allows guests to jump in for 10-15 minutes, add their flair to a massive shared mural, and then head back to their poutine! It’s the perfect high-energy, low-commitment activity that keeps the festival flow moving while giving everyone a chance to be an artist.

What materials are included in the food festival package?

We provide everything needed for a successful Ottawa street art activation. This includes professional-grade spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective ponchos, gloves, masks, and the canvas or wall itself. Our expert instructors stay on-site the whole time to guide your guests, ensuring everyone stays safe and has a blast.

Do guest need any prior art experience to join in?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our pro artists will show your guests the ropes—from basic can control to cool shading techniques. We often find that people who have never held a spray can before end up creating the most surprising and vibrant pieces of art!

Can you incorporate our festival logo into the artwork?

Yes! We love creating custom experiences. We can pre-sketch your food festival’s logo, a specific theme (like 'Ottawa Eats'), or a giant foodie-themed mural that guests then bring to life with colour. It’s a fantastic way to reinforce your brand while providing interactive entertainment that looks great on social media.

Is this activity suitable for children at the festival?

While we usually suggest ages 6 and up for using the spray cans, we have options for the littlest foodies too! For very young children, we can provide paint markers or chalk so they can contribute to the lower sections of the mural. It’s a family-friendly activity that truly includes everyone at the event.

What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?

Weather in the Capital can be unpredictable! If you're planning an outdoor event at Lansdowne or Major's Hill Park, we recommend having a tent or gazebo as a backup. Our artists are hardy, but the paint doesn't love a downpour. We always coordinate with festival organizers to have a 'Plan B' for rainy days.

Local culture

Ottawa’s street art scene is thriving, far beyond the legal walls at Tech Wall or the colourful underpasses of the Glebe. In a city known for its historic architecture and government buildings, the splash of modern graffiti provides a refreshing, youthful contrast that locals absolutely love. Bringing a graffiti workshop to an Ottawa food festival taps into that local crave for creativity and community. Whether your event is held in the bustling ByWard Market or the scenic parks of Westboro, our workshops reflect the diverse and inclusive spirit of the 613.

Fun Fact: Did you know Ottawa has several 'Legal Graffiti Walls' where artists are encouraged to paint freely? Our workshops give your guests a taste of this local subculture in a safe, guided environment! 🎨
