How long does a live painting session usually take?

A live painting performance in Cape Town generally takes between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the size of the canvas or wall and the complexity of the design. We work with you to ensure the masterpiece is completed right as your event reaches its peak, providing maximum impact for your guests. If you have a multi-day festival, we can also spread the creation over several days!

Can the artist include our company logo or a specific theme?

Absolutely! Our artists are experts at incorporating specific brand colours, logos, titles, or event themes into their work. During the briefing process, we’ll discuss your vision and create a design that aligns perfectly with your brand identity or the 'vibe' of your Cape Town event, ensuring the final result is both artistic and on-message.

Is it safe to do live painting indoors?

We take safety and cleanliness very seriously. We use high-quality, low-odour spray paints or acrylics depending on the venue. For indoor events in Cape Town, we set up professional floor protection, use specialized ventilation if needed, and can even use 'water-based' spray cans that produce far less fumes than traditional street paint, making it safe for everyone.

Do you provide services outside of Cape Town?

We are fully mobile! While Cape Town is our hub, we regularly travel to Johannesburg, Durban, and beyond. Whether your event is at a wine estate in Stellenbosch or a rooftop in the CBD, we bring all the necessary equipment, including canvases, paints, and protective gear, directly to your location. extra travel fees may apply for long distances.

When do I need to pay for the performance?

No upfront payment is required when you book with Graffitifun! We believe in the quality of our work and the reliability of our artists. You only pay after the workshop or performance is completed. This gives you peace of mind and ensures that we are 100% committed to making your event a massive success from start to finish.

What happens to the artwork after the event?

What happens to the art is entirely up to you! Most of our Cape Town clients choose to keep the finished canvas to hang in their office, shop, or home as a permanent memory of the event. Alternatively, some organizations choose to auction the piece off for charity or give it away as a grand prize to one of their guests.

Cape Town is world-renowned for its rich street art heritage. From the iconic murals of Woodstock to the politically charged pieces in District Six, our city uses walls to tell stories. When you book a live painting session with us, you’re not just getting "an artist"—you’re tapping into a local culture that celebrates creative freedom and South African resilience. Our artists are deeply influenced by the colours of the Bo-Kaap and the natural beauty of Table Mountain, bringing that authentic 'local is lekker' feeling to every stroke. 🇿🇦

Every event in Cape Town is unique, and our pricing reflects the custom nature of our art. Generally, live painting sessions range from R400 to R900 per person equivalent, though we usually quote a flat rate for performances based on the artist's time and material costs. Factors like the size of the canvas and the duration of the event will play a role.
