Do I need any prior art experience to take part at the festival?

Absolutely! While Bologna’s music festivals are high energy, our graffiti workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists stay by your side, teaching you the foundational techniques of spray painting, lettering, and blending. You don't need to be an 'artist' to participate; you just need to be ready to have some fun and express yourself on the canvas.

How do you handle safety and protection during the workshop?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks, protective gloves, and disposable ponchos to keep your festival outfit clean. We also use low-odour, professional-grade spray paint. Our instructors are trained to manage high-traffic festival environments, ensuring that the creative zone remains a safe and organised space for everyone involved.

Can the workshop be'drop-in' or does it have to be a set time?

Yes, we offer two main formats! For music festivals in Bologna, we often set up 'walk-in' stations where guests can contribute to a massive collective mural throughout the day. Alternatively, we can run scheduled, structured workshops for specific groups. We are incredibly flexible and can tailor the flow of the workshop to fit your festival's specific schedule and lineup.

What kind of space do you need within the festival grounds?

We are fully mobile and can set up almost anywhere. We bring our own freestanding wooden walls or canvases, so we don't need any existing structures to paint on. All we require is a flat surface and a bit of space to breathe. Whether your festival is in a park, a warehouse, or a city square, we’ll make it work perfectly.

What happens if it rains or an artist cannot make it?

Bologna’s weather is usually lovely, but we always have a plan B. Our workshops can easily be moved under marquees or tents provided by the festival. Additionally, Graffitifun has a network of backup artists available, meaning that even if an instructor is unwell, your event will go ahead as planned. We pride ourselves on reliability and consistency.

What exactly is included in the festival package?

We handle everything from start to finish. This includes the preparation of the painting surfaces, providing all premium spray cans in a wide variety of colours, safety gear, and the final cleanup. Once the masterpiece is finished, we can even arrange for the boards to be displayed or dismantled. You provide the location and the music; we provide the soul and the spray.

How long does a typical session last for a festival guest?

Most festival-goers spend anywhere from 20 minutes for a quick 'try-it-out' session to 2 hours for a deep dive into graffiti culture. We find that the 'collective mural' style works best for music events, as it allows people to drop in between sets, add their tag or a splash of colour, and then head back to the main stage.

Local culture

Bologna isn't just known for its world-class pasta; it’s a legendary hub for Italian street art. From the historic murals in the university quarter to the vibrant colours of Via del Pratello, the city’s walls have whispered stories for decades. By bringing a Graffitifun workshop to your music festival here, you are tapping into a local tradition of expression and community. Imagine your guests painting inspired by the red-hued porticos and the medieval skyline, all while the bass drops in the background. We understand the unique 'Bossa' spirit—a mix of intellectual curiosity and pure, unadulterated joy. Our workshops aren't just an activity; they are a tribute to the creative soul of Bologna, blending ancient history with the modern pulse of the electronic and indie music scenes that define the city today.

Pricing

Our festival experiences are as unique as the lineups themselves. Pricing typically ranges from €25 to €55 per person, depending on the scale of the mural, the duration of the event, and the total number of participants.

Because every music festival has its own rhythm and requirements, we offer bespoke packages to suit your budget and vision. Whether you want a small interactive corner or a massive multi-day installation, we've got you covered.
