Why choose us in Jelgava?

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your festival or event in Jelgava? Because ordinary entertainment is boring, and street art is unforgettable! Here is why we are the top choice for bringing the heat to your next gathering: 🔥

  • Total Engagement: Unlike watching a performer, your guests become the stars of the show as they create their own art.
  • Social Media Gold: Graffiti is highly visual. Your event will be all over Instagram and TikTok as people share their colourful creations. 📸
  • Professional Artist Mentors: Our team consists of active street artists who live and breathe this culture—no 'fake' teachers here!
  • Stress-Free Logistics: We bring everything to the site, set up, and clean up. You just provide the space and the people.
  • Inclusive Fun: From kids at a kids party to colleagues at a company event, everyone can do this.
  • Reliability Guaranteed: We have backup artists on standby so your event never gets cancelled. 🛡️

How it works

  1. Safety briefing and gear up: We start by getting everyone into their protective overalls, masks, and gloves. Safety first means more fun later!
  2. Intro to the cans: Learn the difference between nozzles (caps) and how to control pressure for thin lines or wide flares.
  3. Sketching the vision: Our artists help you translate your ideas into a rough sketch on the wall or canvas using light 'ghost' lines.
  4. Filling in the colour: The messy, fun part! Start blocking in your main colours and learning how to blend shades smoothly.
  5. Outlining and 'cuts': Sharpen your piece by adding bold outlines. This is where your artwork really starts to pop and look professional.
  6. Adding highlights and details: Use white or bright tones to add 'shines' and little details that give your graffiti character and depth.
  7. The final reveal: Step back, remove the tape (if used), and admire the collective masterpiece created by the Jelgava crew!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to participate? Balancing?

Absolutely! Our Jelgava street art festival workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists start with the basics of spray can control and safety, ensuring you feel confident before you even touch the wall. We provide all the guidance and 'pro tips' needed to make sure your first piece of graffiti looks fantastic. It's all about having fun and expressing yourself!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We’ve got you covered from head to toe! Graffitifun provides high-quality spray paint in a huge range of colours, professional-grade masks, protective overalls, and gloves. Whether we are working on a communal festival wall or individual canvases, everything is included in the price. Just bring your enthusiasm and perhaps wear some old shoes you don't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on, just in case!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children?

Safety is our absolute priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to control and provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure no one inhales fumes. Our artists are trained in site safety and will manage the 'spray zone' to keep participants and festival-goers safe. We also provide protective clothing to keep your festival outfit looking fresh and paint-free throughout the day.

How long does a typical festival session last?

Our festival sessions are flexible! A standard introductory workshop usually lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours. However, for large-scale street art festivals in Jelgava, we can run 'drop-in' style sessions throughout the day where people can contribute for 20-30 minutes, or more intensive masterclasses for those who want to dive deep into the street art culture. We tailor the timing to your event's specific needs.

What are the payment terms for festival bookings?

The best part about working with us is the flexibility. We don't require any upfront payment to secure your booking; you pay after the workshop is complete. We accept bank transfers and can provide digital invoices for festival organisers. Our goal is to make the process as stress-free as possible so you can focus on enjoying the creative energy of the Jelgava street art scene.

Can you host workshops in other Latvian cities?

Yes, we do! While we love bringing the vibe to Jelgava, Graffitifun operates across Latvia. We frequently host workshops and live art demonstrations in Riga, Daugavpils, Liepaja, and Jurmala. If your festival is touring or you have multiple events planned across the country, we can provide a consistent team of artists to follow the tour and keep the creative momentum going everywhere you go.
