Where groups meet in Sligo
Our workshops in Sligo are typically held in accessible community spaces or dedicated art venues, often chosen for their proximity to the town centre or good transport links. We look for locations that are convenient for groups arriving from various parts of the county, whether you are coming from Rosses Point, Strandhill, or further afield within County Sligo.
Potential meeting points might be found close to the Garavogue River or within easy reach of the main shopping areas, ensuring convenience for participants. We often use venues that provide both indoor and outdoor options, allowing for flexibility depending on the Irish weather.
- Sligo Town Centre: Central and well connected, ideal for many groups.
- Near the river: Offers a scenic backdrop and often good public transport access.
- Outskirts of town: Suitable for larger setups or groups with private transport.

Combine your workshop with Sligo's best
Sligo offers a wealth of activities to combine with your graffiti workshop, making for a truly memorable group outing. Corporate teams can pair a creative session with a strategic meeting in a local hotel, followed by dinner at one of the many restaurants along the riverside or in the town centre. School groups might complement their workshop with a visit to The Model, Sligo's contemporary art museum, or explore the natural beauty of Lissadell House or the beaches at Strandhill.
Families and friends celebrating a birthday or a special occasion can enjoy a workshop and then explore the historic sites like Sligo Abbey, or take a boat trip on Lough Gill. For stag or hen groups, a graffiti workshop provides a unique, hands-on activity before enjoying Sligo's vibrant evening atmosphere.
Step by step

- Safety first: Get suited and booted in our protective gear and learn the proper way to handle a spray can.

- Sketching the dream: Grab the markers and sketch out your design on paper or directly on the surface with light paint.
- Filling in: Learn the 'fill-in' technique to add vibrant colours to your piece without blending the outlines.
- The outline: This is where the magic happens! Re-trace your edges to make the design pop.
- Highlights and shadows: Our artists show you how to add 3D effects and 'shine' to give your work depth.
- The final flourish: Add your personal tag and some 'bits and pieces' like bubbles or arrows to finish it off.

Getting to your Sligo workshop
Arriving in Sligo for your workshop is straightforward. Sligo Mac Diarmada railway station is the main train hub, offering connections from Dublin Connolly. The station is centrally located, making it easy to reach various workshop venues on foot or via local bus services.
If travelling by road, Sligo is well-served by national routes. The N4 connects Sligo to Dublin, while the N17 links it to Galway. The N15 provides access from Donegal. For those driving, public car parks are available throughout the town centre. Coach parking can also be arranged near larger venues. Ireland West Airport Knock (KOC) is the nearest international airport, about an hour's drive south of Sligo, offering connections to the UK and Europe. From the airport, car hire or bus services can bring you directly into Sligo.
Local culture
Sligo's local art scene
Sligo, while perhaps not famed for extensive street art like larger cities, has a growing appreciation for public art and creative expression. You will find various murals and public sculptures dotted around the town, often reflecting its rich literary history and natural surroundings. The local council and community groups have supported initiatives that bring art into public spaces, adding colour and character to areas like the riverside walks and certain pedestrian zones.
The town's artistic pulse is also felt through venues like The Model, home to a significant collection of contemporary art, and numerous independent galleries. This creative environment makes Sligo an ideal place for our workshops, where participants can contribute to this evolving artistic landscape, even if only on a temporary canvas.

Our graffiti workshops in Sligo are priced competitively to ensure everyone can get involved in the street art scene:
- Individual pricing: Typically ranges from €30 to €60 per person.
- Group discounts: Larger groups (schools, big parties, or corporate teams) enjoy significantly lower rates per head.
