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

Absolutely! Most of our festival participants have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics—how to hold the can, pressure control, and safety. We provide a supportive environment where 'mistakes' are just part of the art. You'll be amazed at what you can create in just one session with a little guidance from our pros. Everyone leaves with something they're proud of!

What materials are included in the festival workshop package?

We take care of everything! Your booking includes high-quality spray paint in a rainbow of colours, protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or designated wall space for the festival. Just bring your enthusiasm and wear comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty. We've got the technical stuff covered so you can focus on the fun.

Is it safe for kids and families?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paints and provide high-quality respiratory masks and gloves for every participant. Our artists conduct a safety briefing before any paint is sprayed, ensuring everyone knows how to use the equipment properly. Because we host these at festivals, we ensure our setup is well-ventilated and positioned to keep both participants and passersby safe and happy.

How long does a typical street art session last?

Typically, our festival workshops run between 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the specific event setup. This gives you enough time to learn the techniques, sketch your design, and complete your masterpiece. If you're looking for a quick 'try-it-out' session or a deep-dive masterclass, we can scale the timing to fit the festival's schedule. It's the perfect amount of time to get into the flow without feeling rushed.

What happens if the artist is unavailable or it rains?

We pride ourselves on being reliable. Unlike solo freelancers, Graffitifun has a deep roster of backup artists in the Edmonton area. If your assigned lead artist has an emergency, we have a pro ready to step in so your festival plans aren't ruined. Plus, you don't have to pay a cent until the workshop is actually happening. We're all about stress-free planning and 100% satisfaction.

Can we host the workshop indoors if the Alberta weather turns?

Edmonton's weather can be unpredictable, but the art must go on! For outdoor festivals, we usually recommend having a tent or marquee as a backup. If the weather is truly uncooperative, we can often move the workshop to a nearby indoor location or reschedule. Our flexible booking policy means we work with you to find the best solution so nobody misses out on the creative spark.

Creative collaboration during a graffiti company outing

Local culture

Edmonton has a secret vibrance that really shines through its street art scene, especially around Whyte Ave and the 124 Street area. We love the gritty, creative spirit of the North Saskatchewan River valley and the way the city embraces public art. From the legendary 'Rust Magic' legacy to the hidden gems in our back alleys, YEG is a playground for those who think outside the box.

Fun Fact: Did you know Edmonton is home to several legal graffiti walls where artists can hone their craft year-round? It's part of why our local talent is so world-class! 🇨🇦
