- Inclusive fun: From toddlers with a little help to grandparents, everyone loves the rebel thrill of spray painting! 👵👶
- Tangible results: At the end of the day, you have a massive, colourful piece of art that reflects the collective spirit of your attendees. 🎨

How it works
- Initial vibe check: You tell us about your Glasgow festival theme, the expected crowd size, and the space available. We’ll brainstorm the perfect street art activation to match your event's energy.
- Design & planning: Our artists sketch out a concept. Whether it’s a themed mural or a freestyle 'wall of fame', we ensure the design aligns with your festival's branding or message.
- On-site setup: We arrive early to set up the 'Graffiti Zone'. We lay down floor protection, set up our professional easels or wall panels, and organise the paint by colour.
- Artist demonstration: To kick things off, our pro artists perform a live painting session. It’s a great way to draw a crowd and show everyone what’s possible with a spray can.
- Hands-on workshops: Your guests step up! Under the guidance of our experts, festival-goers learn basic techniques like outlines, fades, and 'tags' while contributing to the artwork.
- The masterpiece evolves: Throughout the day, the mural transforms from a blank canvas into a vibrant, communal work of art that captures the spirit of the festival.
- Photo ops & social sharing: Once the piece is nearing completion, it becomes the ultimate selfie backdrop. We encourage everyone to snap photos and share their creations online.
- Clean up & pack down: We handle the entire breakdown. We leave the site exactly as we found it, taking away all empty cans and materials, leaving you only with great memories (and maybe a finished mural!).

Frequently asked questions
Is the paint safe to use in a crowded festival environment?
Absolutely! We use high-quality water-based spray paints for indoor festival settings or specific 'eco-friendly' zones. These have low odour and are much kinder to the environment while still providing that punchy, vibrant pigment graffiti is known for. It ensures everyone can enjoy the creative buzz without worrying about heavy fumes, making it perfect for family-oriented Glasgow events.
Will our festival guests get paint on their clothes?
We provide full protective gear, including high-quality overalls, gloves, and masks. While we do our best to keep the paint on the canvas or the wall, festivals can get messy! We always recommend that participants don't wear their absolute favourite designer gear just in case. Our artists are onsite to manage the 'splash zone' and keep things organised and safe for everyone.
How many people can participate at once?
The beauty of our festival workshops is their flexibility. We can run 'drop-in' style sessions where guests contribute to a massive mural for 10-15 minutes, or structured 60-minute workshops for more intense learning. In Glasgow, we find that the 'mega-mural' approach works best for high-footfall events, allowing hundreds of people to leave their mark throughout the day.
What happens if it rains during the event?
While we love the Glasgow sunshine, we know it can be a bit unpredictable! We can set up under gazebos, inside marquees, or even bring the action indoors. As long as there is adequate ventilation and a bit of cover from the rain, the graffiti fun doesn't have to stop. We always have a backup plan to ensure your event's entertainment is weather-proof.
Do we need to provide any materials?
We bring everything! This includes premium spray cans in a rainbow of colours, various caps for different line widths, protective clothing, masks, gloves, and the painting surfaces (like large wooden panels or canvases). We even bring floor protection to ensure the festival site stays clean. You just provide the space and the crowd, and we handle the rest of the logistics.
Is this activity suitable for all ages at the festival?
Our activities are a massive hit with kids, teens, and adults alike. For the younger festival-goers, we provide expert supervision and smaller cans that are easier to handle. It’s a fantastic way for families to bond over a shared creative project. We usually suggest a minimum age of 6 for using spray cans, but younger kids can often help with the design phase!
