Is it messy? Will people ruin their festival clothes?
Absolutely! We provide high-quality coveralls, gloves, and specialized masks to keep everyone’s festival gear clean and safe. Our water-based spray paints are low-odour and eco-friendly where possible. We always recommend that participants wear comfortable clothes they don't mind getting a tiny bit of Dublin dust on, just to be safe while they unleash their inner artist.
What kind of space do you need at the festival?
We can set up almost anywhere! From large-scale wooden 'graffiti walls' to recycled canvases or even old vehicles, we bring the infrastructure. All we need is a flat surface and a bit of space for the crowd to gather. Whether you're at Marlay Park or a hidden gem in Smithfield, we make the setup work for your specific venue.
Are the workshops safe for all ages and skill levels?
Safety is our top priority. All our lead artists are fully insured and experienced in managing large groups. We provide all necessary PPE and ensure the spray zone is well-ventilated and cordoned off from the main Thorne of traffic. We handle the risk assessments so you can focus on the music and the craic!
How many people can participate in a single day?
We are incredibly flexible. We can run continuous 'drop-in' sessions where hundreds of people contribute to a collaborative mural over several hours, or scheduled 45-minute masterclasses for smaller groups. We’ll work with your festival schedule to ensure the flow matches your peak times and stage breaks perfectly.
Can we request a specific theme for the mural?
Definitely! Graffiti is a great way to celebrate Irish culture or a specific festival theme. We’ve done everything from traditional Celtic patterns in a street art style to futuristic neon designs. Just let us know your vision, and our artists will sketch out a concept that fits your festival's specific vibe and branding.
Is this activity accessible for all festival attendees?
We believe in the power of street art for everyone. Our workshops are designed to be inclusive, and we can adapt our setups for various accessibility needs. We use techniques that allow people of different physical abilities to participate, ensuring that the 'mark' they leave on the festival is a truly collective one.
