What happens if it rains during the street art festival in Kolkata?

Kolkata's humidity is legendary, but it won't stop the art! For festival setups, we usually arrange for covered hanger tents or massive umbrellas to keep the artists and participants cool and dry. If it pours, we have quick-dry techniques and indoor backup plans. The paint we use is high-quality and weather-resistant, ensuring your festival mural looks 'phatafati' even after a monsoon shower!

Is spraying graffiti safe for festival visitors?

Safety is our biggest priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, nitrile gloves, and protective aprons to everyone involved. Our professional artists lead a safety briefing before any cans are shaken. We use low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) paints whenever possible to ensure the air stays breathable and the environment remains safe for kids, adults, and the city we love.

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

Absolutely! You don't need to be the next Jamini Roy to participate. Our workshops are designed for total beginners. Our crew will show you how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create clean lines. We use a 'fill-in' method for larger festival murals where guests can contribute to a professional design, making sure the final result looks spectacular regardless of skill level.

Are all materials included in the festival workshop price?

We provide everything! Your festival package includes premium spray paint cans in a rainbow of colours, various nozzle 'caps' for different effects, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the painting surface itself—whether that's a temporary wooden wall, a shipping container, or a canvas. You just need to show up in clothes you don't mind getting a little 'colourful' and bring your creative energy!

How far in advance should we book for a public event?

We are very flexible! While we recommend booking at least 3-4 weeks in advance for large festivals in Kolkata to ensure artist availability, we can often handle last-minute requests thanks to our large network of backup artists. Since no upfront payment is required, the booking process is stress-free. Just reach out, and we’ll check our local schedule immediately to fit your event.

Can you host these workshops for events other than festivals?

Street art is a fantastic addition to corporate brand activations, school fests, and even private celebrations like bachelor parties or kids' birthdays. In Kolkata, we’ve seen great success at college fests and housing society carnivals. If you have a wall or a space, we can turn it into an interactive art zone. It’s all about bringing people together through the power of spray paint!

Step by step

Concept and design: We chat with you to understand the festival's theme. Our artists then create a rough sketch that resonates with Kolkata's local vibe.
Setup and prep: On the day of the fest, we arrive early to set up the 'graffiti zone,' masking off areas and prepping the mobile walls or canvases.
Safety briefing: Before anyone touches a can, we give a quick, fun demo on safety, mask-wearing, and the 'dos and don'ts' of spray art.
Technique demo: Our lead artist shows the crowd how to shake the can, use different caps for thin or thick lines, and how to avoid the dreaded 'drips.'
First layers: We start with the background. This is where festival-goers join in to fill large blocks of colour under our guidance.
Detailing: As the piece progresses, our professional artists step in to add sharp outlines, shadows, and highlights that make the artwork 'pop.'
Free-style tagging: We often leave a dedicated section for visitors to leave their own 'tag' or signature, giving everyone a sense of ownership.
The final reveal: We peel back the tape, clean up the edges, and unveil a massive, stunning piece of street art created by the community!

Good to know

Duration: Flexible sessions ranging from a 1.5-hour workshop to a full 3-day festival activation.

Local culture

In Kolkata, art isn't just in galleries; it’s on every street corner, from political graffiti to stunning Durga Puja pandal decorations. We tap into this local 'adda' culture, creating a space where people can gather, talk, and paint. Our workshops often incorporate local elements—think yellow taxis, the Howrah Bridge, or iconic tram lines—blended with modern urban styles. We love the energy of the Kolkata youth who are eager to experiment with new mediums beyond traditional charcoal and oil.

Fun Fact: Kolkata is home to some of India's oldest 'wall writing' traditions. While it started with poetry and politics, it paved the way for the vibrant street art scene we see today in areas like Hatibagan and Elgin Road! 🚋
