Do I need to be an artist to participate in the workshop?

Our Jekabpils festival workshops are designed for everyone from age 6 to 96! We use professional-grade spray cans, but we also provide smaller cans that are easier for kids to handle. No prior artistic experience is needed—our artists will guide you through every line and shadow. It is all about having a go and enjoying the creative atmosphere of the festival.

What equipment do I need to bring with me?

Not at all! We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes high-quality spray paint in a huge range of colours, protective masks, gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the 'canvas'—whether that is a professional cellophane wall (graffiti wrap) or a transportable wooden panel setup at the festival grounds.

Is spraying paint safe for children and beginners?

Safety is our top priority. We provide FFP2 or FFP3 grade masks to ensure nobody breathes in paint fumes, along with nitrile gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas, which is standard for street art festivals. Our professional instructors also give a full safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can to ensure a fun, accident-free experience for everyone.

How long does a typical street art session last?

Our festival workshops in Jekabpils usually run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives you enough time to learn the basic 'tagging' and 'piece' techniques, practice your lines, and then collaborate on a larger masterpiece. We find this is the perfect duration to stay inspired without getting tired, making it a great addition to your festival schedule.

What happens if it rains during the Jekabpils festival?

We are prepared for the Latvian weather! If there is light rain, we often work under gazebos or tents. If the weather turns really nasty, we can move the workshop to a sheltered area or reschedule for later in the festival day. Because we have multiple backup artists available, we are very flexible with timing to ensure the workshop goes ahead safely.

Can I take my creation home with me?

Absolutely! While we love creating large-scale mural pieces together, we often include a 'take-home' element like a small canvas or cardboard piece that you can spray. It is a fantastic souvenir of your time in Jekabpils. Just make sure to let the paint dry for about 20 minutes before you try to carry it home through the festival crowds!

How do I book a workshop for my festival group?

Booking is easy. You can use our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate, or simply send us a message through our contact form. Because festivals in Jekabpils can get busy, we recommend booking a slot in advance for your group. We don't require upfront payment; you can pay after you've had your fun and finished your masterpiece!

Gear up: Put on your protective overalls, gloves, and mask. Safety is cool, and it keeps your festival outfit looking fresh!
Can control 101: Learn how to hold the spray can, how to shake it properly, and which nozzles (caps) to use for thick or thin lines.
Master the tag: Start by practicing your 'tag'—your artistic signature—to get a feel for the pressure and movement of the can.
Outline the piece: Use light colours to sketch the skeleton of your large-scale festival mural on the designated wall or wrap.
Fill it in: Dive into the fun part! Fill your shapes with vibrant colours, learning how to create smooth gradients and solid fills.
Add the 'cut': Re-outline your work with a contrasting colour to make the design pop and give it that professional street art look.
Details and shines: Add highlights, bubbles, or character details to give your artwork personality and depth.
The big reveal: Step back, snap a photo for your socials, and celebrate your contribution to Jekabpils' street art scene!

Local culture

Jekabpils is a city where history meets the flowing waters of the Daugava, and we think the "Good Spirits" of the city deserve some vibrant new colours! While the city is famous for its historical architecture and the Struve Geodetic Arc, there is a growing appetite for modern expression. Our workshops bring a contemporary twist to the local landscape, celebrating the bridge between the city's two sides with a bridge of creativity. 🌉

Fun Fact: Did you know that Jekabpils was formed by merging two historic towns—Jēkabpils and Krustpils? Just like a great graffiti piece, the city is a blend of different styles and stories coming together!

Whether we are setting up near the forest park or in the heart of the town square, the local energy is always inspiring. We love seeing Jekabpils locals and visitors alike picking up a can and realising that street art isn't just for 'artists'—it's for everyone who has a story to tell. ✨

Pricing

We believe great art should be accessible to everyone at the festival. Our pricing is flexible to match your needs:

Individual festival slots: From €18 to €38 per person.
Large scale festival setups: Custom packages available for multi-day events.

Note: Final prices depend on the number of participants, the amount of paint required, and the duration of the event.

No upfront payment is required—we focus on the fun first! 🏆
