Is the paint safe for participants with sensory sensitivities?

Absolutely! We use high-quality, water-based spray paints for our indoor sessions and low-pressure cans for outdoor work, which are much easier to control. We also provide full protective gear, including masks, gloves, and ponchos. Our professional artists are trained to supervise the group closely, ensuring everyone stays safe while having a brilliant time expressing themselves.

How do you accommodate different physical or cognitive needs?

We pride ourselves on being flexible. Whether it's adjusting the volume of the music, providing extra-wide nozzles that require less finger strength, or choosing a location with wheelchair access, we've got it covered. Just let us know about any specific requirements during the booking process, and our Dundalk team will tailor the environment to suit your group's needs perfectly.

Do we need any previous art experience to join in?

Not at all! This workshop is all about the process and having a laugh. Our artists guide you through basic shapes and 'tagging' techniques before we move on to the main piece. It’s amazing to see how quickly people gain confidence once they see the vibrant colours hitting the wall. In Dundalk, we believe everyone has an inner artist waiting to get out.

How long does a typical Dundalk graffiti session last?

A standard Special Needs workshop in Dundalk usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining high energy and focus without causing fatigue. However, we can easily shorten or lengthen the session depending on the group's stamina and engagement levels. We work at a pace that feels comfortable for everyone involved.

Where do the workshops take place in Dundalk?

We can come to you! If you have a suitable outdoor wall or a well-ventilated indoor space in Dundalk, we’ll bring the party to your doorstep. Alternatively, we have several partner locations across County Louth that are fully accessible. We’ll discuss the best venue options with you to ensure the logistics are as stress-free as possible.

Can we choose what we want to paint?

While we love a bit of 'freestyle', we usually start with a collective brainstorming session. We can help the group design a mural that represents their community, a favourite theme, or even the Dundalk colours! Having a shared goal helps with social interaction and creates a massive sense of pride when the final masterpiece is revealed.

How far in advance should we book?

Our workshops are very popular, so we recommend booking at least 3-4 weeks in advance, especially for weekend slots. However, we always have backup artists on hand, so if you have a last-minute request for a Dundalk event, give us a shout and we’ll do our absolute best to squeeze you in and make it happen!

Creative collaboration during a graffiti company outing

Local culture

Dundalk has always had a bit of a creative edge, sitting right between the buzz of Dublin and Belfast. From the murals celebrating the town's rich industrial heritage to the modern street art popping up near the Spirit Store, Dundalk is a town that appreciates a bit of colour on its walls. We love bringing our workshops here because the locals have a fantastic sense of community and a "can-do" attitude that fits perfectly with the graffiti culture.

Fun Fact: Did you know Dundalk is famous for its association with the mythical hero Cú Chulainn? Our workshops often draw inspiration from local legends, blending ancient Irish stories with modern urban art!

Whether we’re setting up near the Marshes or in a community hall in Blackrock, the energy in 'The Town' is always top-notch. If you've seen the colourful murals around Cork, Galway, or Limerick, you’ll know the impact great street art can have—and we’re here to bring that same spark to Dundalk's special needs community.

Pricing

Our Dundalk special needs workshops are priced competitively to ensure they are accessible for community groups and families alike. Prices typically range from €30 to €60 per person, which covers all materials, protective gear, and professional tuition.

Because every group is unique—ranging from school groups to private sessions—the final price depends on the number of participants, the duration of the workshop, and the location. We don't require any upfront payment; you simply pay after the session is complete!
