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!
