Do I need any previous art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Our music festival workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our pro artists will walk you through the basics of can control, nozzle types, and layering. We provide a safe, encouraging environment where the goal is to have fun and express yourself. You'll be surprised at how quickly you'll be creating impressive tags and characters under the Galway sun!

What materials are included in the festival workshop?

We provide everything you need to create your masterpiece! This includes high-quality spray cans in a rainbow of colours, various nozzles (caps) for different effects, protective gloves, and masks. For festival setups, we usually work on large communal walls or individual canvases depending on the specific event arrangement. Just bring your energy and maybe wear some clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on!

Is the spray painting activity safe for festival attendees?

Safety is our top priority while we’re having fun. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and nitrile gloves to all participants. Our workshops in Galway are always supervised by experienced professionals who ensure everyone follows proper spray techniques and distance protocols. We also use low-odour, high-quality paints where possible to ensure the environment remains comfortable for all festival-goers nearby.

How long does a typical festival graffiti session last?

The beauty of our festival workshops is flexibility! We offer 'drop-in' sessions where people can contribute to a mural for 15-20 minutes, as well as more structured intensive sessions that last about 60 to 90 minutes. This allows festival-goers to get their creative fix without missing their favourite bands' headline sets on the main stage. We work around the festival schedule!

What happens if an artist can't make it or we aren't happy?

At Graffitifun, we believe in 'fun first'! That is why we offer a 100% satisfaction focus. Additionally, we don't require upfront payments—you can pay after the workshop. We also have a roster of backup artists ready to go, so even if there's a last-minute hitch, your festival activation won't be cancelled. We are committed to making your Galway event truly legendary.

Can you host workshops at locations other than festivals?

Yes! While our music festival activations are popular, we also bring the spray paint magic to schools, corporate brand activations, and private parties across Ireland. Whether you are in Dublin, Cork, or right here in Galway, we can set up a mobile street art station almost anywhere. We love tailoring the experience to the specific vibe and goals of your event.

Local culture

Galway isn't just a city; it's Ireland’s cultural heartbeat. From the colourful shopfronts of Quay Street to the hidden murals tucked away in the West End, street art is woven into the very fabric of the City of Tribes. Our workshops tap into this bohemian spirit, allowing festival attendees to contribute to the city’s evolving visual story. We love the local energy—the mix of traditional buskers and modern urban vibes makes Galway the ultimate canvas for a graffiti experience. 🔥

Fun Fact: Did you know that Galway was the European Capital of Culture in 2020? This legacy lives on in the city's incredible support for public art and spontaneous creative expressions!

Pricing

Our workshop packages are as flexible as our art. Whether you want a small "chill-out" zone or a massive collaborative mural for thousands of people, we can scale to fit your festival budget.

Estimated Pricing: €30 - €60 per person (depending on group size, duration, and setup requirements).

Because every festival in Galway is unique, we recommend reaching out for a tailored plan that suits your specific venue and crowd size. 🎉
