Is it messy? Will festival-goers get paint on their clothes?

Absolutely! We provide high-quality protective suits, gloves, and masks to keep everyone’s festival gear clean. While the spray paint is permanent on the canvas, our safety gear ensures it doesn't end up on your favorite shirt. We always recommend participants wear 'art-friendly' shoes just in case, but we take every precaution to keep the experience mess-free and safe for all ages.

Do you provide the equipment and setup in Hamilton?

We are totally mobile! Whether your festival is at Bayfront Park, a parking lot in Hess Village, or an indoor venue, we bring the entire setup to you. We provide the boards, the paint, the protection, and the artists. All we need is a flat surface and a designated space to spark some serious lakeside creativity. We handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on the music.

How do you handle safety during a busy festival?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-odor spray paint whenever possible and provide high-end respiratory masks for all participants. Our professional artists supervise the workshop 100% of the time, ensuring that spray cans are used correctly and respectfully. We ensure the workspace is well-ventilated and sectioned off from the main festival traffic to keep both painters and passersby safe.

What age groups can participate in the workshop?

One of the best things about graffiti is that it’s for everyone! We’ve taught toddlers (with help) and seniors alike. For Hamilton festivals, we often see families painting together. Our artists tailor their instruction to the skill level of the individual, so whether you're five or eighty-five, you'll walk away having created something you are proud of. No prior art experience is required!

How long does a typical festival workshop session last?

Typically, a single rotation or 'mini-session' for a guest takes about 15 to 30 minutes, which is perfect for a festival flow. This allows a high volume of people to participate throughout the day without missing the headlining bands. For private festival bookings or smaller events, we can extend sessions up to 2 hours for a deeper dive into techniques and style.

What happens if it rains during the event?

While we love the sun, we're prepared for the Hamilton 'hammer' weather. If there's light rain, we can work under professional pop-up tents. If the weather turns severe, we have a flexible cancellation and rescheduling policy. Because we have a team of backup artists, we are extremely reliable—we’ll do everything in our power to make sure the art happens rain or shine!
