What exactly is live painting and how does it work?

Live painting is a dynamic performance where our artist creates a large-scale graffiti mural from scratch during your event in Galway. It’s perfect for weddings, corporate launches, or festivals. Unlike a static decoration, it provides ongoing entertainment as guests watch the artwork evolve throughout the day, often becoming the main talking point of the party. It adds a gritty, urban energy that really stands out.

Is the paint messy or does it smell indoors?

Not at all! We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paints and high-quality markers. If your Galway venue is indoors, we ensure proper ventilation and use protective floor coverings to keep the space pristine. We can also work on mobile wooden walls or canvas stretches if you don't have a permanent wall available. Safety and cleanliness are always our top priorities while we create our masterpiece.

How long does a live painting session usually last?

The duration depends on your specific needs, but most live painting performances in Galway last between 2 and 5 hours. We can pace the artwork to matches the flow of your event—starting when the first guests arrive and finishing just as the party reaches its peak. We’re flexible and can adjust our speed to ensure the 'big reveal' happens exactly when you want it.

Can we request specific themes or logos in the artwork?

Absolutely! That’s the best part. Before the event, we’ll chat about your theme, brand colours, or specific imagery you’d like included. Whether it's a company logo for a brand activation or a personalised mural for a birthday, our artists tailor the style and content to match your vision perfectly. It's bespoke art created specifically for your Galway crowd.

What materials are included in the booking?

We provide everything needed for a spectacular show! This includes the artist, all spray cans, markers, protective gear, and the painting surface itself (like a canvas or temporary wall). We even handle the setup and cleanup. You just need to provide the space and the audience. It’s a completely hassle-free way to bring professional street art to your Galway venue.

What happens to the mural once the event is over?

One of the coolest things about live painting is that you’re left with a physical piece of history. Many of our Galway clients keep the finished canvas to hang in their office, shop, or home. If we paint on a temporary structure, we can help you figure out how to transport the final piece. It’s a lasting memory of an unforgettable event!

How far in advance should I book for a Galway event?

We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for weekend slots in Galway, as our calendars fill up fast. Ideally, get in touch 4 to 8 weeks in advance. However, thanks to our network of backup artists, we can sometimes accommodate last-minute requests. Just drop us a message and we’ll do our best to make the magic happen for you!

Local culture

Galway is a city that breathes creativity, from the buskers on Shop Street to the murals tucked away in the Latin Quarter. It’s a place where tradition meets the cutting edge, making it the perfect backdrop for a live painting performance. We draw inspiration from the city's maritime history and its status as a UNESCO City of Film to create art that feels right at home in the West of Ireland.

Fun Fact: Did you know Galway is known as the "City of Tribes"? We love incorporating local symbols like the Claddagh ring or the iconic Galway Hooker boats into our live art pieces when we're performing in town! 🎨

Whether you're in Salthill, Renmore, or the city centre, we bring the professional gear and the creative spark to make your event truly "Galway" in spirit.
