Practical details
Our festival packages are designed to be completely 'turn-key'. We provide mobile graffiti walls, hundreds of spray cans in every colour imaginable, high-end protective clothing (overalls and gloves), and professional-grade masks. A typical festival setup can handle anywhere from 10 to 500+ participants depending on the wall space. We offer flexible durations, from 2-hour 'pop-up' sessions to full weekend residencies. Safety is paramount; we use low-odour paints where possible and ensure all spray zones are clearly cordoned off. Every session is led by a minimum of two expert artists who are as good at coaching as they are at painting.
Pricing
Our festival entertainment is priced to offer great value for high-impact engagement. Prices generally range from €25 to €55 per person, though for large-scale festivals, we often work with flat day rates that provide the best ROI for organisers. Because every event in Amsterdam is unique—from intimate tech meetups to massive music festivals—we provide bespoke quotes tailored to your specific needs. The best part? No upfront payment is required; you only pay after we've delivered the fun. Request a custom quote today to get a detailed breakdown for your event.
Frequently asked questions
Is it messy and do we get protective gear?
Absolutely! We provide high-quality hooded overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks for every participant. While our spray paint is permanent on the canvas, we make sure you stay clean and protected throughout the entire creative process. We do recommend wearing comfortable shoes and clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on, just to be safe while you're busy creating your masterpiece.
What is the maximum group size for a festival workshop?
We are incredibly flexible. Our festival setups can range from a single 'open canvas' station to massive multi-wall zones for thousands of attendees. Whether you're hosting a small boutique food festival in Amsterdam-Oost or a massive music event at NDSM Wharf, we scale our team of artists and materials to match your footfall and ensure everyone gets a chance to spray.
Do you have a backup plan if an artist can't make it?
Yes, we have a network of backup artists ready to go. We understand that festivals have zero margin for error when it comes to entertainment. If an artist falls ill, we have a professional replacement ready to step in immediately. This guarantee ensures your event schedule remains uninterrupted and your guests are never left staring at an empty wall.
Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival environments?
Safety is our number one priority. All our festival workshops are led by experienced professionals who manage the spray zone carefully. We use low-pressure cans which are easier to control and provide high-quality respiratory protection. We also ensure the workspace is well-ventilated and kept at a safe distance from food stalls or sensitive equipment.
How long does a typical festival session last?
For festivals, we suggest a flexible 'drop-in' format where sessions last 15-20 minutes per person, allowing for high turnover. However, for smaller events or VIP areas, we can run full 90-minute workshops where guest learn the complete A-Z of graffiti. We tailor the timing entirely to your festival’s specific schedule and flow of visitors.
How does the payment process work for events?
We make things as easy as possible for festival organisers. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book with Graffitifun. We send the invoice after the workshop has been successfully completed. This reflects our confidence in our service and our commitment to building long-term relationships with Dutch event planners and festival directors.
