Is live painting safe for indoor events in Port Elizabeth?

Absolutely! We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paints and acrylic markers. If the event is indoors, we ensure the area is well-ventilated and use drop cloths to protect the flooring. Safety is our priority, and we can adjust our materials to suit the specific requirements of your Port Elizabeth venue, ensuring a clean and safe environment for all guests.

What kind of designs can the artist paint?

The artist can paint anything from your company logo and brand colours to a themed mural that reflects the spirit of the Friendly City. We usually discuss the concept with you beforehand to ensure the vibe matches your event perfectly. Whether it's abstract art or a detailed portrait, our artists have the skills to bring your vision to life.

How long does a live painting performance usually last?

Our live painting sessions typically last between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the scale of the artwork and your event schedule. We can pace the performance to coincide with key moments of your function, like a product launch or a gala dinner, ensuring the big reveal happens exactly when you want it to for maximum impact.

Do I need to provide any materials for the artist?

We provide everything needed for a spectacular show! This includes high-quality spray cans, paint markers, protective floor coverings, and the canvas or surface itself. You just need to provide a space for our artist to work and, if the event is at night, some decent lighting so the guests can see the magic happen.

Do we get to keep the artwork after the event?

Yes, that's one of the best parts! Once the performance is over and the paint is dry, the artwork is yours to keep. Many of our Port Elizabeth clients choose to hang the finished piece in their office reception, staff room, or even auction it off for charity. It’s a lasting memento of a fantastic event.

How far in advance should I book a live painting session?

We recommend booking at least 3 to 4 weeks in advance, especially during the busy summer season in Nelson Mandela Bay. However, thanks to our network of backup artists, we can sometimes accommodate last-minute requests. Reach out as soon as you have a date, and we’ll do our best to make it happen!

We love bringing this urban energy to local events, celebrating the wind, the sea, and the diverse culture that makes PE so special.
