Do I need to be an artist to participate at a music festival workshop?

Absolutely! No prior artistic experience is needed to have a blast at our Montreal music festival workshops. Our professional artists are there to guide you through the basics of can control and layering. Most festival-goers are first-timers who just want to try something new while listening to their favourite bands. We make sure everyone walks away feeling like a pro street artist! 🎨

What kind of materials do you provide?

We provide high-quality, professional-grade spray paint in a massive variety of vibrant colours. To keep you looking sharp for the rest of the festival, we also provide protective suits, gloves, and masks. Everything is included in the booking price, so you just need to bring your energy and creativity to the wall! ✨

Is the graffiti workshop safe for a crowded festival environment?

Safety is our top priority, especially in a busy festival environment. We use low-odour, high-quality paints and provide all necessary PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) like masks and gloves. Our instructors are experienced in managing crowds and ensuring that the spray zone is safe for both participants and passersby. We follow all Canadian safety standards to ensure a worry-free experience. ✅

How long does a typical festival session last?

The length of the experience depends on your festival's schedule. We offer quick 'drop-in' style sessions that take about 20-30 minutes, or more structured workshops that can last up to 90 minutes. We are totally flexible and can tailor the flow to match the set times of the main stage acts so nobody misses their favourite band. 🎤

Can we take our artwork home?

Yes! One of the coolest parts of our music festival activation is that participants can often take home their own piece of street art on a canvas or board. Alternatively, we can create a massive 'community wall' where everyone contributes to one giant masterpiece that stays on display throughout the event. It makes for an incredible photo op! 📸

What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?

Montreal weather can be unpredictable, but the show must go on! We usually set up under professional event tents or canopies to keep the artists and the artwork dry. If the weather gets truly extreme, we have backup plans and flexible scheduling to ensure the workshop still happens safely. We're used to the Montreal 'maintenant' attitude! ☔

How do we book Graffitifun for our Montreal event?

Booking is easy. We don't require any upfront payment to secure your date, and we have a team of backup artists ready to go so your event is never at risk of cancellation. Simply reach out for a custom quote, and we'll handle the logistics from the gear to the cleanup. We’re here to make the process as smooth as Montreal jazz! 🎷

Local culture

Montreal isn't just a city; it's a living, breathing canvas. From the towering murals on Boulevard Saint-Laurent to the hidden gems in the Plateau, street art is woven into the very fabric of our identity. Our workshops celebrate this local heritage, channelling the spirit of MURAL Festival into your specific event. We understand the unique bilingual energy of Montrealers—our team is ready to vibe with everyone in English or French, ensuring a truly inclusive local experience. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Montreal is home to one of the oldest legal graffiti walls in North America? The 'daubings' on the walls of the Rouen-Létourneux area have been a focal point for local legends since the late 80s!

Pricing

Our festival activations are as unique as the lineups themselves! Pricing typically ranges from C$40 to C$90 per person, depending on the number of participants, the duration of the festival, and the specific materials requested (like individual canvases versus a giant community mural).

We believe in transparency and zero stress: No upfront payment is required! You only pay after the workshop is complete and everyone is stoked with the results. 💸
