What exactly is live painting and how does it work?

Live painting is essentially a performance where our artist creates a large-scale piece of graffiti from start to finish right in front of your guests. It’s dynamic, engaging, and provides a revolving focal point for your event. Unlike static decor, it evolves throughout the day, providing 'wow' moments as the colours and shapes start to form a cohesive image or message.

Can we choose what the artist paints during the event?

Absolutely! Whether it’s a company logo, a specific product launch, or a theme like 'Marseille vibes', our artists will work with you beforehand to sketch a concept. We ensure the final piece aligns perfectly with your brand identity or event theme, making it a powerful and unique marketing tool that stays in people's minds long after the paint has dried.

Is it safe to do graffiti painting indoors?

Safety is our priority! For indoor events, we use low-odour, water-based spray paints or high-quality markers that are specifically designed for indoor use. We also provide floor protection and can set up ventilation if needed. We’ve successfully performed in hotels, offices, and gallery spaces across Marseille without any issues, ensuring a clean and safe environment for everyone. Sounds good, right?

What kind of surface do you paint on?

Commonly, we paint on large wooden panels, stretched canvases, or even temporary film walls (cellograff). The choice depends on your venue and whether you want to keep the artwork afterwards. Many of our Marseille clients choose canvas so they can hang the finished masterpiece in their office or studio as a permanent memento of the event!

How long does a live painting session usually last?

The duration is flexible to suit your schedule. Most live painting performances last between 2 and 4 hours, which is the perfect sweet spot to keep guests engaged without the process dragging on. However, for large festivals or multi-day brand activations, we can arrange for full-day sessions or even multiple artists to cover a larger area.

What do we need to provide for the artist?

We make it super easy for you. We provide all the professional spray cans, caps, protective gear, drop cloths, and the painting surface itself. All we usually need from you is a flat space to work and, if we're working into the evening, some decent lighting. We handle the setup and the cleanup, leaving you to enjoy the party!

Do I need to pay everything upfront when booking?

Not at all! One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'pay after' policy. We believe in the quality of our work and the fun of the experience, so you don't have to worry about upfront costs. You can book your date, work out the design with our artists, and only settle the bill once the workshop or performance is successfully completed.

Local culture

Marseille is arguably the street art capital of France. From the vibrant, mural-clad winding streets of Le Panier to the rebellious, artistic soul of Cours Julien, graffiti is woven into the very fabric of this city. By choosing a live painting performance, you’re tapping into a local culture that celebrates boldness and authenticity.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Marseille has hosted some of the world's most famous street artists? The city's Mediterranean light and grit have made it a legendary playground for urban creators since the 80s! ☀️

We bring that same Mediterranean passion to every event, ensuring your live painting isn't just an "add-on," but a true tribute to the artistic spirit of the Phocaean City.
