Frequently asked questions
What happens if it rains during an outdoor festival in Edmonton?
For outdoor festivals in Edmonton, we always have a Plan B! We can set up professional pop-up tents to keep the artists and participants dry, or if the weather turns truly nasty, we can move the activities indoors to a community hall or event tent. Our spray paints are high-quality and fast-drying, meaning a little bit of Alberta drizzle won't stop the creative process or ruin the artwork.
Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival visitors?
Safety is our top priority. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including gloves and professional-grade masks to ensure nobody breathes in fumes. Our artists are trained professionals who supervise every step of the process, teaching the correct way to handle spray cans. We use premium low-pressure cans that are easier to control, making the experience safe and fun for everyone from kids to adults.
Is this activity suitable for children and families?
Absolutely! We have different workshop formats tailored to all age groups. For the little ones, we focus on larger shapes and bright colours, while teens and adults can dive into more complex "wildstyle" lettering and shading techniques. It’s a fantastic way to keep families engaged at your event, as it’s one of the few festival activities where kids and parents can create something together.
How many people can participate in the workshop at once?
Our festival setups are highly flexible. We can accommodate everything from small groups of 10 to massive crowds of 500+ over the course of a day. For large-scale Edmonton events, we usually set up a 'rotating' workshop where new participants can jump in every 15-20 minutes, or a massive 'community wall' where hundreds of people contribute a single stroke to a giant masterpiece.
What happens to the artwork after the festival ends?
One of the best things about our service is that the festival gets to keep the art! We can paint on large wooden panels, stretched canvases, or even temporary film. Once the festival is over, you can auction the pieces for charity, display them in a local Edmonton community centre, or give them away as prizes. We handle the teardown, leaving your venue exactly as we found it.
How far in advance should I book for a city-wide event?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for the busy Edmonton summer festival season (June through August). Ideally, 2-4 months in advance ensures we can secure your preferred date and our top artists. However, thanks to our large network of backup artists, we can sometimes accommodate last-minute bookings even just a few weeks before the big day. Just reach out and we'll see what's possible!
