How it works

  1. Consultation & Vision: We start by chatting about your festival's vibe, expected attendance, and theme to tailor the perfect street art experience.
  2. Custom Design: Our artists create a sketch or concept that aligns with your event’s branding or musical lineup.
  3. Logistics Planning: We handle the heavy lifting, from sourcing the plywood walls to coordinating the delivery of hundreds of spray cans to the Chicago venue.
  4. Site Setup: Our crew arrives early to set up the 'graffiti zone,' ensuring floor protection and safety barriers are all in place.
  5. The Live Kick-off: Our professional artists start with a live demonstration to grab the crowd's attention and show them how it's done.
  6. Interactive Participation: Festival-goers are invited to grab a can, put on some gear, and add their own flair to the communal masterpiece.
  7. Professional Finishing: Our artists add the final flourishes and 'clean up' the edges of the mural so the end result looks like a professional work of art.
  8. The Big Reveal: The finished mural serves as a massive, colorful backdrop for photos and social media posts throughout the rest of the festival.
  9. Post-Event Cleanup: We pack everything up quickly and efficiently, leaving the site exactly as we found it (minus the awesome new art!).

Frequently asked questions

Will my festival outfit get ruined by the paint?

Absolutely! We provide high-quality protective gear, including ponchos and gloves, to keep your festival outfit looking fresh. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easy to control, minimizing overspray. However, we always recommend that participants don't wear their absolute favorite designer clothes, just in case they get a little too enthusiastic with the nozzle. It is an outdoor art activity, after all!

What happens if an artist gets sick? Do you have backups?

We pride ourselves on being the most reliable street art crew in the business. We have a deep bench of professional backup artists ready to step in if an emergency arises. This means your festival programming is protected from last-minute cancellations. When you book with Graffitifun in Chicago, you are booking peace of mind along with world-class creativity.

Can you handle large crowds at a major music festival?

No way! No matter the size of the crowd, we can scale our setup to match. For massive Chicago festivals, we set up multiple 'stations' or a giant communal mural wall so dozens of people can paint simultaneously. We bring enough equipment, paint, and staff to ensure every festival-goer who wants to spray gets a chance to make their mark.

Is the graffiti activity safe for all ages?

Yes! Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality spray paint and provide all necessary safety equipment. Our professional artists supervise every session to ensure cans are used correctly and everyone stays safe. For indoor festivals, we can even discuss specialized low-odor paints or alternative street art techniques to keep the air fresh.

Do we need to provide the walls or surfaces to paint on?

We are incredibly flexible. While we love creating large-scale plywood mural walls that can stay as a legacy piece for the event, we can also set up mobile 'pop-up' canvas stations or even live-painting demonstrations. Whether you have a small corner or a massive field in Grant Park, we will design a layout that fits your festival footprint perfectly.

Do I need to pay in advance to book a festival slot?

The best part is that you don't pay a dime upfront. We believe in the quality of our festival entertainment, so you only pay after the event is successfully completed. This removes the risk for festival organizers and demonstrates our commitment to 100% satisfaction. We make the booking process as stress-free as possible so you can focus on the music!
