Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to participate in the workshop?

Absolutely! No prior artistic skills are required. Our professional artists are there to guide you through every step, from how to hold the spray can to advanced shading techniques. By the time the headliner hits the stage, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've helped create. It's all about having fun and being creative in the moment.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival-goers?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks, and use professional-grade spray paints. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before any cans are popped. We ensure the workshop area is well-ventilated and situated away from the main concert crowds to keep everyone safe and comfortable while they paint.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

While we provide protective gear, we always recommend wearing clothes you don't mind getting a little 'artistic' on. Spray paint can be unpredictable, especially in a breezy outdoor festival setting. Wear comfortable shoes and something casual. Think of any stray paint as a unique souvenir from an epic weekend in Vancouver!

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Depending on the festival setup, we offer various options. Often, participants work together on a large-scale collaborative mural that stays on display throughout the event. For specific brand activations or smaller setups, we can arrange for individual canvases or items that you can take home. We’ll clarify the specific format for your Vancouver event during the booking process!

How long does a typical festival session last?

A standard festival workshop session usually runs between 1.5 to 3 hours, but we can adapt to the festival's schedule. Some events prefer a 'drop-in' style where people can paint for 20 minutes, while others opt for structured masterclasses. We are flexible and will work with your festival planners to find the perfect rhythm.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything needed for a world-class street art experience. This includes a wide array of premium spray paint colours, caps, protective equipment, and the painting surface (walls or canvases). You just need to bring your energy and creativity! Our team handles the entire setup and cleanup, leaving the festival grounds just as we found them.

What happens if we need to change our booking?

We understand that festival planning can be unpredictable. That’s why we offer a 'no upfront payment' policy. You can book your date and finalize the details, and payment is only handled after the workshop is complete. We also have backup artists on standby to ensure that your scheduled event goes off without a hitch, regardless of circumstances.
