Is the graffiti workshop safe for an indoor trade show environment?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority in Calgary. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to all participants. We also use low-odor spray paint whenever possible and ensure the trade show booth has adequate ventilation or high-velocity fans. Our professional artists are trained to manage crowds and provide a safe, organized environment where everyone can enjoy the creative process without any worries.

How do you handle the mess and ventilation at a convention center?

We are experts at working within venue constraints! For Calgary events at the Telus Convention Centre or BMO Centre, we typically use specialized floor coverings and temporary walls to create a self-contained 'spray zone.' This ensures that no paint drifts onto neighboring booths or the venue floor. We can also offer 'water-based' paint options which have significantly less odor and overspray than traditional solvent-based spray cans.

How long does each workshop session take for an attendee?

The duration is totally flexible to match your booth flow. We can run 'drop-in' sessions where attendees spend 5-10 minutes adding a quick tag, or more structured 20-minute mini-workshops. This flexibility keeps your booth moving and ensures you don't have a bottleneck, allowing you to maximize the number of leads you interact with throughout the trade show day.

Can we incorporate our corporate branding into the graffiti art?

Yes, we can! This is one of our most popular features in Alberta. We can pre-stencil your company logo onto the canvas or wall, so that when attendees spray their art, your brand remains the focal point. We also offer custom-branded aprons or giveaway items. It’s a powerful way to ensure your corporate identity is literally woven into the artwork created by your potential clients.

What are the costs involved for a trade show activation?

The cost for a Calgary trade show activation ranges between C$40 and C$90 per person, but this varies based on the duration of the event, the number of artists required, and the specific materials used. Because trade shows have unique logistics, we provide detailed, transparent quotes. We don't require upfront payments—you only pay after the event is successfully completed and you're 100% satisfied.

What happens if the artist is unable to make it?

Don't worry, we've got you covered. Graffitifun works with a large network of professional artists across Canada. If your primary lead artist falls ill or has an emergency, we have backup artists ready to step in. This 'show must go on' policy ensures that your booth activation is never left empty-handed, giving you peace of mind during your big Calgary marketing event.

The experience

Why stick to the status quo when you can stand out? A graffiti workshop is the "secret sauce" for Calgary exhibitors who want to dominate the social media feed of the event. Here is why it works: ✨

Stop the 'scrollers': People can't help but stop when they see live art being created. It breaks the 'autopilot' walk that many attendees have.
Extended dwell time: Instead of a 30-second interaction, prospects spend 10-15 minutes at your booth, giving your sales team a warm lead to chat with.
Viral potential: Everyone wants a photo of themselves with a spray can. That’s instant, free social media exposure for your Calgary brand. 📸
Low pressure, high fun: It creates a relaxed atmosphere where the 'hard sell' disappears, replaced by genuine creative connection.
Zero risk: With our backup artist policy and no upfront payment, your Calgary exhibition plan is safe with us. 🔥

Step by step

Consultation & concept: We chat about your Calgary trade show goals, booth layout, and how we can best represent your brand through street art.
Design phase: Our artists create a custom concept or stencil that incorporates your logo and event theme.
Logistical setup: On the day of the show, we arrive early to set up protective flooring, 'invisible' spray booths, and all necessary gear.
Live demonstration: Our artists kick things off with a live painting session to draw in the initial Calgary crowds.
Hands-on participation: We invite attendees to grab a can! Our pros guide them through basic techniques like 'fading' and 'outlining.'
Collaborative masterpiece: Throughout the day, a collective piece of art grows as different visitors add their unique touch.
Brand engagement: While they paint, your team has the perfect 'icebreaker' window to chat with engaged prospects.
Final reveal: The completed artwork serves as a stunning backdrop for the rest of the convention.
Clean-up & strike: We handle the entire pack-down, leaving the venue spotless and your brand as the talk of the show.

Local culture

Calgary might be famous for the Stampede, but its urban art scene is exploding! From the colorful murals in the Beltline to the hidden gems in Sunnyside, 'Cowtown' is quickly becoming a 'C-Town' of creativity. We bring that local YYC spirit to your trade show booth, pivoting away from the traditional western tropes to show the modern, innovative side of Calgary business culture. 🏙️

Fun Fact: Did you know Calgary hosts the BUMP (Beltline Urban Murals Project) festival? It has transformed the city into an open-air gallery, making Calgary one of the most exciting hubs for street art in Western Canada!
