Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop suitable for all ages?

Yes! Our workshops at your Bergen festival are designed for everyone from children to seniors. We use water-based spray paint options for younger participants and provide all necessary safety gear. Our professional artists are onsite to guide every hand, ensuring that even someone who has never touched a spray can before can create something they are proud of by the end of the session.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything needed for a complete street art experience. This includes professional-grade spray cans in a wide variety of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and high-quality respiratory masks. We also bring the canvases or mobile walls where the art will be created. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and bring your creative energy to the festival grounds!

What happens if it rains during the event?

Bergen's weather is famous for its rain, but that doesn't stop the art! For festival setups, we can provide professional marquees or work with your event planners to locate the workshop in a covered area. Our team is used to the local climate and ensures that the workshop remains a dry, safe, and enjoyable highlight of your event regardless of the clouds.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival attendees?

Absolutely. Safety is our main priority during any public activation. We use low-odour paints where possible and provide full PPE for all participants. Our instructors are trained professionals who manage the spray zone strictly, ensuring that the audience and participants remain safe while the environment is protected from over-spray using specialised shielding and drop cloths.

How long does a typical festival session last?

We understand that festival schedules can be fluid. Typically, we offer 'walk-in' sessions where people can join for 15-30 minutes, or structured workshops lasting 1.5 to 2 hours. Because we have a deep bench of backup artists, we can scale our presence to match your festival's footfall, ensuring there is always a professional ready to teach the next group of budding artists.

Do we need to pay for the workshop upfront?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'pay after' policy. You don't need to worry about upfront payments or deposits when booking your Bergen event. We believe in the quality of our service and our 100% satisfaction focus. Once the festival is over and you are happy with the results, we settle the invoice. This makes the booking process stress-free and reliable.

Can participants take their artwork home?

We can certainly facilitate that. While many festivals prefer participants to work on a collective mural, we can arrange for smaller canvases or boards that individuals can take home as a unique souvenir of their time in Bergen. If you are planning a brand activation, we can even help participants customise items like tote bags or hats with graffiti techniques.
