How it works

Select your festival vibe: Tell us about your Helsinki food event—is it a street food market, a craft beer fest, or a gourmet tasting? We'll tailor the art style to match.
Design the concept: Our artists create a 'mural blueprint' that incorporates your festival's branding, slogans, or food-themed imagery.
Setup and protection: We arrive at your venue (like Suvilahti or the Market Square) and set up our mobile walls and protective flooring.
Safety briefing: We kit out every participant with pro-grade masks and gloves, explaining the basics of spray can control.
The 'first lines': Our pro artists start the outline, making it easy for even total beginners to join in and feel confident.
Interactive painting: Festival-goers pick up a can and add their own colours, textures, and details to the massive collective mural.
Professional finishing: Our artists add the final highlights and sharp outlines to ensure the finished piece looks absolutely world-class.
The big reveal: The mural stands as a stunning photo backdrop for the rest of the festival, perfect for social media shares!

Frequently asked questions

Is the spray paint safe to use around food?

Absolutely! We use high-quality, low-odour professional spray paint, and we provide all necessary protective gear including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our artist instructors are experienced in managing crowds at busy Helsinki events, ensuring that the creative process is as safe as it is fun for everyone involved.

What kind of space do you need at the festival?

We can set up almost anywhere! Whether your food festival is happening at Teurastamo or the Railway Square, we bring mobile graffiti walls. These are self-standing structures that don't damage the venue. We just need a flat surface and a bit of space for people to move around and express themselves.

Do you handle the cleanup after the event?

We take care of everything. Our team arrives early to set up the plastic flooring, the mobile walls, and the 'spray station'. After the festival-goers have finished their masterpieces, we pack everything down and ensure the site is left exactly as we found it. It’s a hassle-free addition to your event.

What happens if it rains during the food festival?

Helsinki weather can be unpredictable, but we’re prepared! We can set up under gazebos or within festival tents to keep the artists and the artwork dry. We always monitor the forecast and coordinate with festival organisers to ensure the activity can go ahead safely regardless of a little Finnish drizzle.

How much does a graffiti workshop cost?

Our pricing in Helsinki typically ranges from €30 to €65 per person, depending on the scale of the activation and the number of participants. Because every food festival has a unique vibe and scale—from intimate boutique tastings to massive public events—we recommend requesting a custom quote for the most accurate pricing.

Can festival-goers take their art home?

While we provide a guided experience, the final artwork is often a collaborative mural. If the festival is a multi-day event, the artwork evolves over time! For private groups within a festival, we can arrange for participants to take home smaller individual canvases or boards as a cool souvenir of their day.
