What happens if it rains during the music festival?

Tromsø's weather can be unpredictable, but the party never stops! We usually set up sturdy, professional-grade event tents or look for covered outdoor areas to keep the artists and the artwork dry. If the wind is particularly strong, we use weighted boards to ensure everything stays secure while you're busy spraying your masterpiece. We always have a 'Plan B' ready to ensure the creative flow isn't interrupted by a bit of Arctic rain.

Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from those who haven't held a pen in years to seasoned doodles. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of cap control, can pressure, and line work. We provide reference sketches and stencils to help you get started, but we also encourage you to let your imagination run wild. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at what you've created.

Is the paint dangerous or messy for festival-goers?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional masks to ensure you don't get paint on your festival gear or breathe in fumes. All our spray paints are low-odour and chosen for their ease of use. Our instructors are also on hand to offer safety briefings and ensure everyone is using the equipment correctly. You get to enjoy the edgy side of street art with none of the mess!

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Typically, a festival session lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours, which is the 'sweet spot' for completing a piece without missing your favourite headliner. However, for larger events, we can run shorter 'express' sessions or a continuous drop-in wall where people can add their tag throughout the day. We are incredibly flexible and can tailor the timing to perfectly match your festival's specific schedule and flow.

Can we customise the graffiti theme to match the festival?

Absolutely! We love it when the artwork reflects the soul of the event. We can pre-sketch the festival's logo, the year, or specific themes into the background of the graffiti wall. This makes the final piece a brilliant photo backdrop for social media and a unique memento of the weekend. Just let us know your vision, and our artists will help bring that specific festival vibe to life on the canvas.

What happens if an artist is unavailable at the last minute?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexibility. We have a deep bench of talented artists across the region, meaning we don't have to worry about last-minute cancellations. If an artist falls ill, we have backup pros ready to step in and keep the creative energy high. You can book with confidence knowing that we have the resources to ensure your workshop goes ahead exactly as planned, rain or shine.

How do I book and do I need to pay upfront?

Booking is simple and stress-free! You don't need to pay anything upfront; we believe in our service so much that you only pay after the workshop is complete. You can use our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate, or simply reach out for a custom quote. Once we've agreed on the details, we handle everything from site prep to clean-up, letting you focus on enjoying the music and the magic.

The experience

Why settle for just being a spectator? Bringing a graffiti workshop to a music festival in Tromsø adds an interactive, high-energy layer to the event that people will talk about for years. It’s more than just painting; it’s a shared experience of urban culture. 🎤

Unmatched Festival Vibe: Street art and music are two sides of the same coin—it just fits perfectly! 🔥
Social Media Gold: The vibrant colours and "action shots" of people painting create incredible content for your festival’s feed.
Inclusive Fun: From kids to seasoned festival-goers, everyone can pick up a can and feel the thrill.
Take Home the Art: Participants can often take their smaller canvases home, giving them a physical memory of the weekend.
Expert Mentorship: Our artists aren't just pros; they're enthusiasts who love sharing the history and technique of graffiti.

Step by step

Intro & Gear Up: Grab your protective suit and mask while our pro-artists give you a quick briefing on safety and how to handle the cans like a pro.
The Blank Canvas: We’ll head over to the festival wall or your individual canvas to discuss the concept and the "vibe" of the piece.
First Lines: Learn the basics of "tagging" and how to create clean outlines using different nozzles (caps) for varying thicknesses.
Colour Theory: Choose your palette! We’ll show you how to blend colours directly on the wall to create those iconic street art gradients.
Fill-Ins: It’s time to get loud with colour. We’ll teach you the technique for filling large areas quickly and evenly without drips.
Shadows & 3D: This is where the magic happens. We’ll show you how to add depth with drop shadows and highlights that make the art pop off the wall.
Deep Cleaning (The Fun Kind): Refine your edges and add those final "power lines" to make your piece look sharp and professional.
The Big Reveal: Sign your work with your new street tag! Take photos with your crew before the next band starts.

Good to know

Duration: Usually 1.5 to 3 hours, perfectly timed between your favourite sets.
Group Sizes: We cater to everything from small groups of 5 up to massive festival crowds of 100+.
Everything's Included: Premium spray paint, high-quality masks, gloves, protective suits, and canvases/walls.

Local culture

Tromsø isn't just the "Gateway to the Arctic"—it's a city pulsating with creative energy, from the world-class electronic beats of Insomnia Festival to the cinematic heights of TIFF. While the city is famous for its wooden houses and the Arctic Cathedral, the street art scene here is a hidden gem, often finding its way into the smallest alleys and industrial spaces. Our workshops capture that unique "Nordic Cool" vibe, offering a creative outlet that feels right at home in a city that celebrates the bold and the beautiful. ❄️

Fun Fact: Did you know Tromsø is home to some of the northernmost legal graffiti walls in the world? Creating art under the Midnight Sun or the dance of the Northern Lights adds a layer of magic you won't find anywhere else on the planet!

Pricing

Our festival workshops are designed to be as flexible as a bassline. Prices typically range from kr300 to kr650 per person, depending on the scale of the setup, the number of participants, and the amount of paint we’re blasting! 💸

Remember, at Graffitifun, we believe in "Work first, pay later"—you don't pay a penny until the workshop is over and everyone is buzzing. Plus, we have backup artists on standby to ensure your event never skips a beat.
