Frequently asked questions

I've never done graffiti before, can I still participate?

Absolutely! Most of our festival participants in Marseille have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create clean lines. By the time the festival vibes are in full swing, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created from scratch. It's all about having fun and being creative!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for everyone?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality face masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. We only use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and safer for beginners. Our instructors are always on hand to ensure everyone is using the equipment correctly while enjoying the sun-soaked Mediterranean atmosphere of the festival.

What should I wear to the workshop?

For our festival workshops in Marseille, we recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. While we provide full protective gear including overalls, graffiti can be a bit messy when you're getting into the flow! Think 'festival casual'—comfortable enough to move around and stay cool in the French Riviera heat.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Standard festival sessions usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of Marseille street art, practice different techniques, and complete a final collaborative or individual piece. We keep the energy high throughout the session so you're constantly engaged and excited about the progress of your artwork.

What is the maximum group size for a festival event?

We love the 'the more, the merrier' spirit of festivals! We can accommodate everything from small intimate groups to massive festival crowds. For very large events, we rotate groups through the spray zone or set up giant collaborative 'mural walls' where hundreds of people can add their own unique touch throughout the day. Check our cost calculator for group estimates!

Do I need to pay in advance to book?

One of the best parts of our Marseille festival experience is that you don't have to pay anything upfront! We believe in the quality of our workshops and the fun we provide. You can book your slot or event today and handle the payment after the workshop is completed. Our goal is 100% satisfaction and a stress-free creative experience for you.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day? {answer}

If the Mistral wind brings a bit of rain, don't worry! We have backup plans involving indoor spaces or covered marquees to keep the creative energy flowing. Marseille's weather is usually on our side, but we are always prepared with flexible scheduling and backup artists to ensure your street art experience happens no matter what the clouds are doing.
