Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely not! Our street art festival workshops in Tartu are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic spray can control and moving on to more advanced techniques. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before they arrive, and they always leave with a masterpiece they are proud of. It is all about having fun and being creative!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for participants?

The health and safety of our participants are our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including professional-grade masks with filters, disposable gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to control and safer for beginners. All workshops are conducted in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially set-up festival zones under the supervision of experienced pros.

What should I wear to the street art festival workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable, old clothes and sturdy shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. While we provide full protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy, and stray paint mist can travel. It is better to be safe than sorry! Avoid wearing your brand-new designer sneakers or your favourite white jacket to the festival grounds.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Our festival workshops in Tartu typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, safety briefing, technique practice, and the creation of your final artwork. For larger festival crowds, we can also offer 'drop-in' style sessions that are shorter, allowing more people to experience the magic of street art throughout the day.

Can children join the festival workshop?

Yes, we are very family-friendly! Our workshops are suitable for children (usually aged 6 and up) and adults alike. We even have special techniques and smaller cans that are easier for kids to handle. It is a fantastic bonding activity for families attending a festival together. As long as you are ready to have fun and follow the artist's instructions, you are welcome at the wall!

What happens if it rains on the day of the festival?

We are prepared for the Estonian weather! If there is a light drizzle, we often work under festival tents or pavilions. However, if the weather becomes too extreme (heavy rain or high winds), we have a flexible rescheduling policy. We also have backup artists available to ensure that your scheduled slot goes ahead as planned whenever possible. Your creativity won't be dampened!

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Usually, yes! For festival workshops where we work on individual canvases or boards, you are more than welcome to take your creation home once it is dry. It makes for a unique, handmade souvenir of your time in Tartu. If we are working on a massive communal mural, you won't be able to take the wall home, but you will have some incredible photos and the memory of contributing to a public masterpiece!
