- Initial consultation: Reach out to us with your festival dates and expected crowd size in Dortmund. We’ll discuss the vibe you're going for.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival environments?
Absolutely! We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure everyone stays clean and breathes easy. Safety is our top priority, and our artists provide a full safety briefing before any spray cans are even shaken. We make sure the environment is controlled and comfortable for all festival-goers.
Do participants need any prior art experience?
No way! Whether you are a total beginner who has never touched a spray can or a budding artist looking for tips, our professional graffiti creators are there to guide you. We teach the basics of 'can control,' layering, and shading so that everyone walks away feeling like a pro. It’s all about the experience and having a blast!
What kind of setup do you need at the festival grounds?
We are incredibly flexible. We can set up free-standing wooden partitions (temporary walls), use large canvases, or even wrap pillars in cellophane for a 'cling film' wall effect. As long as we have a flat surface and enough ventilation, we can bring the street art vibe to almost any part of your Dortmund festival site.
What happens if it rains during the event?
Dortmund weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. We can work under gazebos or move the activation to a covered area if necessary. Plus, we have backup artists on standby for every booking, ensuring that your event entertainment goes ahead smoothly no matter what. We never let a little rain dampen the creative spirit!
Can festival-goers take their artwork home?
One of the best parts of our festival workshops is that participants can often take their creations home! If we are working on individual canvases or tote bags, they make the ultimate festival souvenir. For large-scale collaborative murals, the final piece serves as a stunning backdrop for photos that keep the festival buzz alive on social media long after the music stops.
How long does a typical festival graffiti session last?
We usually recommend anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours for a structured workshop, but for festivals, we often run 'drop-in' sessions that last the whole day. This allows people to come and go as they please, contributing a few tags or shapes to a massive community piece. We tailor the timing to fit your specific festival schedule and flow.
