Is the spray paint safe for children and teenagers?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every camper. Our professional artists are fully trained in health and safety protocols and provide constant supervision. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier for younger hands to control, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and controlled environment for all our creative sessions in Sligo.

Do the kids need any prior art experience to join?

Not at all! Our summer camps are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to budding young artists. Our expert instructors break down the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. Every child will leave with a piece of art they are proud of, regardless of their starting point.

What should the campers wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide full protective gear including overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy! It's all part of the fun, but it's best to come prepared in 'play clothes' rather than your Sunday best. Lightweight layers are also great for staying comfortable.

What is the age limit for the summer camp?

Our graffiti summer camps in Sligo typically cater to youth aged 8 to 16. We often group participants by age to ensure the teaching style and complexity of the projects are perfectly suited to their developmental stage. This allows teenagers to tackle more intricate mural designs while younger children focus on bold characters and mastering the spray cans.

What happens if it rains during the outdoor sessions?

In typical Irish fashion, we don't let a bit of drizzle stop the fun! If we are working outdoors, we usually have access to sheltered areas or gazebos. For more persistent Atlantic weather, we can move the activities into a suitable indoor space where we use water-based, low-odour spray paints or focus on canvas work and design sketches until the clouds clear.

Will the kids get to take their artwork home?

Yes, definitely! One of the highlights of our Sligo summer camp is that every participant gets to create their own individual piece of art on a canvas or board to take home. In addition to these personal masterpieces, the group usually collaborates on a large-scale mural, providing a fantastic sense of collective achievement and a great photo opportunity for the parents!

Local culture

Sligo has always been a hub for creativity, famously inspiring the poetry of W.B. Yeats. Today, that same spirit is alive in the vibrant street art popping up around the town. From the murals near the Garavogue River to the hidden gems in the cultural quarters, Sligo provides the perfect atmosphere for a graffiti summer camp. We draw inspiration from the rugged beauty of Benbulben and the local surf culture, encouraging our campers to incorporate Sligo’s unique landscape into their urban designs. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Sligo's name comes from the Irish 'Sligeach', meaning 'shelly place'? While we won't be painting on shells, the coastal vibes definitely influence our colour palettes! 🐚
