Is the graffiti activity safe for festival attendees?
Absolutely! Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep everyone's clothes clean and lungs safe. Our professional artists supervise every spray to ensure a secure environment. Plus, for Calgary outdoor festivals, we use low-odor paints whenever possible to keep the vibe fresh and fun for all attendees.
Do you provide the walls and materials?
We bring the art to you! Whether your festival is at Prince's Island Park, the Stampede Grounds, or a private venue, we are fully mobile. We bring all the boards, stands, spray cans, and safety gear. You just provide the space and the crowd, and we handle the setup and cleanup from start to finish.
What happens if it rains during the event?
While we love the sunshine, Calgary weather can be unpredictable. We can set up under pop-up tents or move the activation into a ventilated indoor space if needed. We always have a backup plan or backup artists ready to ensure your festival entertainment goes off without a hitch, regardless of the Chinook winds!
How much does it cost to book Graffitifun?
Pricing typically ranges from C$40 to C$90 per person, but for large-scale festivals, we usually offer daily flat rates or custom packages based on expected foot traffic. Factors like duration, material volume, and the number of artists required play a role. We recommend requesting a custom quote for the most accurate festival pricing.
How many people can participate at once?
We can accommodate almost any crowd size. From small community block parties to massive multi-day music festivals, our team of artists is experienced in managing high-volume throughput. We use efficient rotational systems so that hundreds of people can contribute to a community mural or create their own individual takeaways throughout the day.
How long does a typical festival workshop last?
Most of our festival activations run between 2 and 6 hours per day, but we are totally flexible. If you have a multi-day event like the Calgary Stampede, we can provide coverage for the entire duration. We’ll work with your schedule to ensure the peak hours are packed with creative energy.
