Frequently asked questions
How long does a brand activation workshop usually last?
A typical brand activation in New York City lasts between 2 and 4 hours, though we can adapt to full-day festivals or multi-day pop-ups. We usually arrive 60-90 minutes early for setup to ensures everything is ready before your first guest arrives. We work around your schedule to ensure maximum impact during peak foot traffic hours in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Every timeline is customizable to your event's specific flow.
What materials do you provide for the event?
We handle all the logistics so you don't have to! This includes high-quality spray paint, protective gear (ponchos and gloves), specialized graffiti boards or canvases, and professional drop cloths to keep the venue pristine. For indoor New York venues, we use low-odor, water-based paints to ensure a comfortable environment. All you need to provide is the space and the crowd—we bring the creative energy and equipment!
Is the graffiti workshop safe for participants?
Absolutely! Safety is our top priority. We use high-quality respiratory protection where necessary and provide all participants with protective clothing. Our professional artists are trained to manage crowds safely, ensuring everyone has a great time without any risk. We also offer eco-friendly, non-toxic paint options which are perfect for indoor activations or events with younger demographics in NYC's many public spaces.
Do you require specific permits for outdoor activations?
While we love the raw energy of NYC street art, we are strictly professional. We only operate in legal spaces, private venues, or areas where we have explicit permission. Our brand activations are designed to celebrate the culture of street art in a controlled, positive environment. We help your brand tap into that 'cool factor' of New York's graffiti scene while maintaining a totally professional and legal brand image.
What is the maximum group size for a brand event?
The more the merrier! We've handled everything from intimate VIP previews to massive street festivals with thousands of attendees. We scale our team of professional artists based on your expected headcount to ensure everyone gets a chance to pick up a spray can. For large NYC crowds, we often use a 'revolving door' approach where guests rotate through the art station, keeping the energy high and the lines moving.
Can we incorporate our company logo into the artwork?
Yes, customization is our specialty! We can pre-stencil your company logo, use your specific brand color palette, or incorporate your marketing slogan into the final mural. Our artists can even create a custom "hero piece" beforehand that guests then help finish. This ensures that every photo shared on social media is perfectly aligned with your New York marketing campaign's visual identity and messaging.
What happens if the artist is unavailable on the day?
One of the best things about working with Graffitifun is our flexibility. We have a deep roster of professional backup artists ready to step in if someone gets sick.
