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

Absolutely! We use high-quality water-based spray paints for many of our festival setups, which have significantly lower odours and are safer for food environments. We also ensure our 'Graffiti Kitchen' is situated in a well-ventilated area, usually slightly downwind from the main dining stalls, so you can enjoy your tacos or spice bags without any aerosol interference. Safety is our top priority!

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

While we provide protective ponchos and gloves, we always recommend wearing 'festival' clothes—things you don't mind getting a little rogue speck of colour on. The paint dries quickly, but because you'll be getting hands-on with the spray cans, it's best to leave the designer gear at home. Our artists will make sure you're geared up properly before you start your masterpiece!

I have zero artistic talent, can I still participate?

Not at all! Our professional street artists specialize in helping absolute beginners. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create clean lines. Within minutes, you'll be surprised at what you can create. It's all about the experience and having a laugh, not about being the next Banksy (though we might help you find your inner artist!).

What size groups or festivals can you accommodate?

We are highly flexible! Whether you’re running a small craft food fair at Stephen's Street Car Park or a massive multi-day event like the Sligo Food and Culture Festival, we can scale our team and materials to match your footfall. We have a deep bench of backup artists to ensure the show goes on no matter what, providing consistent entertainment throughout the day.

What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?

In Sligo, we always have a Plan B! If the Atlantic weather decides to be 'typically Irish,' we can set up under high-quality gazebos or move the activation to an indoor space or marquee. Our equipment is portable, and we can adapt our canvases to work in various settings, ensuring the rain never dampens the creative energy of your festival.

How does the booking process work?

Booking is simple and stress-free with Graffitifun. You don't need to pay anything upfront! Just reach out via our contact form to check availability for your Sligo date. We'll chat about your festival's theme and group size, then send over a custom quote. Once you're happy, we'll lock it in. You only pay after the workshop is successfully completed.

The experience

Why settle for standard entertainment when you can offer a vibrant, hands-on experience that people will be talking about long after the last food truck has packed up? Here is why our graffiti workshops are a hit at Sligo events:

Epic Social Media Content: A live graffiti mural is a magnet for photos and 'grams, giving your festival organic reach. 📸
All-Inclusive Fun: Whether they are 5 or 85, everyone can take part. It’s truly an intergenerational activity! 🏆
Customizable Themes: We can incorporate your festival branding or food-related imagery directly into the art. 🍎
Professional Artists: Our crew are seasoned pros who know how to entertain a crowd while keeping things safe. 💪
No-Stress Planning: We handle everything from setup to cleanup—no mess, no fuss for the organizers. ✌️
Memorable Souvenirs: Participants can often take their individual canvases home as a unique memento of their day in Sligo. ✨

Step by step

Initial creative chat: Reach out to us with your festival dates and location in Sligo. We’ll discuss the vibe of your event and how street art can complement your food lineup.
Custom design concept: Our artists can create a 'menu' of graffiti designs that reflect food themes—think vibrant fruits, stylized cutlery, or cool 'Sligo Foodie' tags.
On-site setup: On the day, we arrive early to set up our mobile graffiti walls, protective flooring, and all the necessary gear (cans, masks, and gloves).
Artist demonstration: We kick things off with a high-energy demo, showing festival-goers the fundamental techniques of spray painting.
Hands-on creation: Guests grab a can! Under our guidance, participants add their flair to a collaborative mural or create their own individual canvases to take home.
Expert finishing: Our professional artists add those 'pro' touches—highlights, sharp outlines, and shadows—to make every piece of art pop.
The big reveal: The finished mural remains on display throughout the festival, serving as a perfect photo backdrop for social media.
Seamless pack-down: Once the session ends, we handle all the cleanup, leaving the site exactly as we found it (minus the awesome new art!).

Local culture

Sligo has always been a town where creativity meets the rugged beauty of the Wild Atlantic Way. From the poetic legacy of Yeats to the vibrant contemporary murals beginning to pop up in its urban corners, there's a deep appreciation for the arts here. Our workshops tap into that local 'Sligo spirit'—adventurous, colorful, and always welcoming. We love setting up at local hubs where the community gathers to celebrate local produce and craft brews. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know Sligo is home to some incredible hidden street art gems? The town is increasingly becoming a canvas for Irish and international artists, making it the perfect backdrop for a graffiti-inspired food event. Whether you're inspired by the surf at Strandhill or the heights of Benbulben, we help you bring those Sligo vibes to life on the canvas! 🌊

Pricing

We believe in transparent pricing that fits your specific festival needs. Our Sligo workshops typically range from €30 to €60 per person, depending on the duration of the event and the number of participants. 💰
