Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our participants in Sligo have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to control the pressure, create clean lines, and fill in colours. We provide a supportive, high-energy environment where 'mistakes' are just part of the art. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created.

Is the workshop safe and what should I wear?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our instructors are seasoned pros who provide a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a fun and worry-free experience for everyone involved.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Our public art workshops in Sligo typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, sketching your design, and the final painting phase. We find this is the perfect 'sweet spot' to get deeply creative without getting tired, leaving you with a massive sense of achievement.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need! This includes a wide range of professional spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the surface we’ll be painting on—whether that’s a collective wall or individual canvases. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and perhaps some old shoes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on.

What happens if it rains on the day?

While we love the rugged beauty of Sligo, we know the weather can be unpredictable. We always have a backup plan! We either use covered outdoor areas or, if the weather is truly wild, we can move the session indoors using low-odour water-based pens and canvases. Plus, we have backup artists available, so your event will never be cancelled due to staff illness.

How does the payment process work?

We are very flexible! You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book. We believe in the quality of our workshops, so you only pay after the experience is complete. This makes it easy for groups to organise their budget without any financial stress. We accept various payment methods to make the process as smooth as possible for you.

Local culture

Sligo has always been a hub of creativity, famously inspiring the poetry of W.B. Yeats. Today, that creative spirit is evolving through a growing street art scene that adds a splash of modern colour to our historic streets. From the murals near the Garavogue River to the hidden gems in the cultural quarter, public art is breathing new life into the town. We love hosting workshops here because the mix of Atlantic energy and urban grit creates an atmosphere you won't find anywhere else in Ireland. ✨

Fun fact: Did you know that Sligo's name comes from the Irish 'Sligeach', meaning 'shelly place'? While there are plenty of shells on the beach, we prefer adding some colourful layers to the walls! 🐚
