Can the workshop be held indoors if the weather doesn't cooperate?

Absolutely! While many festivals take place outdoors in the summer, we have several mobile setups designed for indoor use or covered stages. We use low-odour spray paint options for indoor environments to ensure everyone stays comfortable. Whether your Ottawa festival is a winter bash on Sparks Street or a summer jam by the Canal, we have the gear to make it happen safely.

What materials do you provide for the festival workshop?

We handle everything so you can focus on the music. Graffitifun provides all the high-quality spray cans, protective gloves, masks, and specialized overalls to keep clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or temporary walls. If you want a specific theme or branded stencils for your festival, just let us know and our artists will prep them in advance.

Is the activity safe for children and families attending the festival?

Safety is our top priority. We use professional-grade respirators or high-quality masks, depending on the ventilation of the area. Our lead artists are trained in site safety and will ensure that the 'spray zone' is clearly marked and managed so that participants and festival-goers are never in harm's way. It's all the thrill of the art with zero of the risk!

How long does a typical festival graffiti session last?

For large music festivals in Ottawa, we typically recommend an 'open-flow' setup. This means people can drop in for 15-20 minutes to contribute to a massive communal mural or try a quick session. However, we also offer structured 60-90 minute workshops for VIP areas or smaller groups. Our flexible timing ensures we can accommodate hundreds of fans throughout the festival day.

Do we need to pay everything upfront for the booking?

We believe that 'fun is guaranteed' means being flexible! At Graffitifun, you don't need to pay everything upfront. Once we've finalized the details of your Ottawa event, you can pay after the workshop. We also maintain a network of backup artists, so even if there is an emergency, your festival's creative activation will go on as planned!

Can participants take their artwork home with them?

Yes, that is a huge part of the fun! For festival activations, we often create a 'community wall' where hundreds of fans contribute, but we can also set up individual canvas stations where people can take their own mini-masterpiece home. It’s a fantastic way to give festival-goers a physical souvenir that they actually helped create. It's a memory they'll keep forever!

Local culture

Ottawa is known for its incredible festival culture, and we’re here to add a splash of Technicolor to the mix. From the legendary Bluesfest to the underground vibes of the street art scene in Hintonburg, the capital city has a deep appreciation for creative expression. We draw inspiration from the city's legal graffiti walls, like the one at Tech Wall, bringing that authentic '613' urban energy directly to your event venue.

Fun fact: Did you know that Ottawa is home to "House of PainT," one of Canada's most iconic festivals dedicated entirely to the four pillars of Hip Hop? Street art is literally in the city's DNA!

Whether your event is near the historic ByWard Market or out in the beautiful grassy fields of the surrounding valley, we bring the vibe of the Ottawa street art scene to you, ensuring your festival stands out in the national capital's busy event calendar.
