Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for a festival environment?
Absolutely! We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls for all participants. Our graffiti artists are professionals who prioritise safety and cleanliness, ensuring the festival grounds remain tidy while everyone enjoys the creative process. We use low-odour professional spray paint designed for ease of use and safety in public settings.
How much space do you need at the festival?
We are incredibly flexible. Whether you have a small corner for a 10-meter 'legal wall' or a massive open field for multiple canvases, we can scale our setup to fit. We bring everything needed, including protective flooring and barriers, to ensure the art stays exactly where it’s supposed to be without harming the venue.
Can the workshop be themed to our festival?
Yes, we love collaborating! We can work with you to incorporate festival logos, specific themes, or colour palettes into the workshop. This makes the final artwork feel like a true part of the event’s identity. We can even create a 'masterpiece' where our artists outline a design and festival-goers help fill it in.
How many people can participate at once?
Our festival workshops are designed to be high-rotation and inclusive. We can handle hundreds of participants throughout the day by breaking them into shorter 20-30 minute 'taster' sessions. This ensures that everyone who wants to try their hand at spray painting gets a chance without long waiting times.
What happens if it rains during the event?
We aren't afraid of a bit of Irish mist! If it's just a light drizzle, we can usually keep going under gazebos. For heavier rain, we’ll work with you to find a covered area or adjust the timing. Our artists are experienced at working in the Irish elements, so we always have a plan B ready.
What happens to the art when the festival is over?
One of the best parts is that you end up with vibrant, large-scale artworks! These can be displayed throughout the festival for the remainder of the weekend, or even auctioned off for charity. Alternatively, participants can take home smaller individual canvases they've created as a unique souvenir of their time in Cork.
