Is the graffiti workshop weather-dependent in Port Elizabeth?

Absolutely! We use high-quality spray paint that is designed for outdoor conditions. However, if the Port Elizabeth wind gets too 'friendly' or we hit a rainy patch, we can set up professional undercover marquees or move to an indoor-friendly setup using low-odour water-based paints. We always have a backup plan to ensure your food festival entertainment goes off without a hitch, regardless of the Eastern Cape weather.

Is it safe for kids and families at the festival?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with high-quality FFP2 respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective ponchos to keep your festival clothes clean. Our professional artists lead every session with a safety briefing, ensuring everyone uses the cans correctly. It is a clean, controlled, and completely safe environment for foodies of all ages to enjoy their creative side.

Do I need to be artistic or have experience?

No experience? No problem! Our workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our expert Graffitifun artists will guide you through the basics, from how to hold the can to mastering 'fats' and 'skinnies' (no, we aren't talking about the food!). Most participants are amazed at what they can create in just 20 minutes. It is all about having fun and being part of the vibe.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

We are extremely flexible! For food festivals, we usually recommend 'drop-in' style sessions where people can paint for 15-30 minutes, or coordinated live mural paintings that take place over the whole day. If you want a structured team-building session for your vendors or VIPs, those typically last 1.5 to 2 hours. We tailor the timing to fit your specific festival schedule and flow.

Can you create a live mural as part of the festival entertainment?

We certainly do. One of our most popular festival options is the 'Live Mural' where our artists create a stunning piece of branded art right in front of the crowd. This acts as a massive visual magnet, drawing people to specific areas of the festival grounds. It is the perfect backdrop for photos and social media posts, giving your event extra digital reach.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need. This includes premium spray cans in a rainbow of colours, caps for different line widths, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the painting surface (usually large wooden panels or canvases). You just need to bring your energy and perhaps a bit of inspiration from all the delicious food stalls surrounding us! We handle the setup and the cleanup.

Why should we choose Graffitifun over other entertainers?

We are unique because we don't require upfront payments at the time of booking. You pay after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied. This takes the stress out of festival planning. We also have a large team of backup artists across South Africa, so even if an artist falls ill, we guarantee a professional replacement will be there to keep the party going.
