Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical street art workshop last?

Our workshops are a highlight of any street art festival in Uppsala. They usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. During this time, we cover the basics of spray can control, safety, and letter construction, followed by a collaborative mural project where everyone gets to contribute. This timeframe ensures a good balance between learning and actually getting messy on the walls. If you have a specific schedule for your event, we can always adapt the timing!

Do you provide safety equipment for the participants?

Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. Our professional artists lead the session with a safety briefing, ensuring everyone uses the cans correctly. We use low-pressure spray paint which is much easier for beginners to control, making the experience accessible and safe for participants of all ages and skill levels. Let's create safely!

Do participants need prior experience to join?

Not at all! Our Uppsala festivals are all about discovery. Whether you’ve never held a spray can or you're a seasoned sketcher, our professional artists will guide you through every step. We start with simple lines and shapes, so even those who think they 'can't draw' end up creating something they're proud of. It’s about the vibe, the energy, and the fun of trying something completely new and daring.

What kind of surfaces can we paint on during a festival?

We are very flexible! We can set up temporary 'cellophane walls' between trees or pillars, which provides a fantastic, transparent canvas that looks amazing in photos. Alternatively, we can use large wooden panels or even mobile graffiti walls. As long as we have a flat surface and a bit of ventilation, we can bring the street art festival vibes to almost any location in Uppsala, from parks to university courtyards.

What is the ideal group size for a festival workshop?

For festivals, we suggest a minimum group of 10 to keep the energy high, but we can accommodate hundreds of people throughout the day using a 'walk-in' rotation style. This allows festival-goers to drop in, add their tag or a splash of colour, and move on, while others take their place. For a more focused workshop, 15-25 people per artist is the sweet spot for personalized coaching. We have plenty of artists to scale up!

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

Uppsala weather can be unpredictable, but the fun doesn't have to stop! If the rain is light, we can often work under gazebos or temporary covers. If things get really soggy, we can move the experience indoors using water-based, low-odour spray paints or high-quality markers on canvases. We always have a backup plan and extra artists on standby to ensure your event goes ahead no matter what the Swedish clouds decide.

How do I book a workshop for my event?

Booking with Graffitifun is easy and stress-free. You can use our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate, then shoot us a request. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the creative explosion we bring to your festival. Once we confirm the date and artist, you're all set to make your mark!
