How long does the graffiti workshop experience last?

Most of our festival workshops in Oulu last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives you plenty of time to learn the basic strokes, practice your technique on a practice wall, and finally complete your masterpiece. We move at a pace that keeps the energy high while ensuring everyone feels confident with the spray can before they start their final piece.

Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We start with the basics of 'can control' and 'lining' before moving on to the fun stuff. You'll be amazed at what you can create with just a little bit of guidance and the right tools.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We’ve got you covered! Graffitifun provides everything you need: premium spray paint in a rainbow of colours, high-quality caps for different line widths, and essential protective gear like gloves and masks. We also provide the boards or canvases you'll be painting on. Just show up in some 'old' clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on, just in case!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you aren't breathing in any fumes, along with protective gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designed indoor spaces. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying to ensure a fun, accident-free environment for everyone involved.

What should I wear to the street art festival?

While we provide protective gear, we always recommend wearing 'painting clothes'—items you wouldn't mind getting a stray splash of colour on. Think old trainers, jeans, and a t-shirt. Street art can be a bit messy, and while the masks and gloves protect your health, your favourite designer hoodie might not appreciate the artistic flair of a stray paint mist!

What happens if it rains during the festival?

Rain won't stop the creativity! Oulu weather can be unpredictable, but we always have a plan B. If the weather turns, we often have access to covered outdoor areas or indoor backup locations. If the conditions are truly impossible, our backup artist system ensures we can reschedule easily. We’ll keep you updated so your festival experience remains top-notch regardless of the clouds.

How does the payment process work?

We offer total peace of mind. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your festival slot. You only pay after the workshop is complete and you're happy with the experience. We accept various payment methods and can provide instant digital invoices for groups or VAT-registered businesses. It’s all about making your Oulu street art experience as stress-free as possible.

Local culture

Oulu isn't just a tech hub; it’s a city with a deep-rooted appreciation for public art and creativity. From the quirky 'Bobby at the Market Place' statue to the modernist architecture that defines the city skyline, there’s inspiration around every corner. Oulu has a growing street art scene, often blending traditional Finnish motifs with modern urban styles, creating a unique visual language in the north.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Oulu is known as the "Capital of Northern Scandinavia"? During the summer months, the midnight sun provides 24 hours of light—the perfect condition for a marathon street art festival where the painting never has to stop! ☀️🎨

We love the energy of the Oulu people. Whether we are setting up near the Pikisaari artist community or in a bustling city square, the community spirit is always high. Our workshops seek to add to this local culture, giving everyone from students to tech professionals a chance to express themselves in the most colourful way possible.

Individual/Small Group Rate: From €30 to €65 per person.
