How it works
- Concept planning: We chat about your festival's theme, the vibe of the crowd, and where the best spot is to set up our creative zone.
- Custom preparation: Our artists prepare the canvases, boards, or walls, often sketching out a 'community mural' outline that matches your festival branding.
- Artist arrival: Our team arrives early at your Gothenburg location to set up the protective flooring, gazebos, and all the colourful spray supplies.
- Safety first: Every participant gets kitted out in protective gear and receives a quick, fun briefing on how to use the cans safely and effectively.
- The first spray: Under the guidance of our pros, festival-goers start adding colour to the masterpiece, learning techniques like fading and outlining.
- Live demonstrations: In between helping guests, our artists perform live painting to keep the crowd entertained and inspired.
- The final reveal: Once the mural is complete, it becomes a vibrant focal point of the festival—perfect for those Instagram moments!
- Clean up: We handle all the pack-down, ensuring the festival grounds are left exactly as we found them, except for the amazing new art!
Practical details
Our festival packages are designed to be flexible. A standard session can run from 1.5 to 3 hours, but for larger events, we can provide full-day "drop-in" stations. We bring everything: premium spray cans, protective suits, masks, gloves, and the painting surfaces. Safety is our top priority, and we always ensure a clean setup with floor protection. We can accommodate any group size, from small private events to crowds of thousands. Plus, we have backup artists on standby across Sweden, so your event is always covered! 🎨
Pricing
We offer competitive pricing to suit various festival budgets. Our rates typically range from 300 kr to 650 kr per person, depending on the number of participants, the duration of the event, and the materials required (such as large-scale wooden walls or individual canvases).
Because every festival in Gothenburg is unique, we provide bespoke pricing to ensure you get the best value for your setup. No upfront payment is required – you only pay after the event is successfully completed!
Frequently asked questions
What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?
Absolutely! While Gothenburg weather can be unpredictable, we are prepared. We can set up our festival graffiti stations under large waterproof gazebos or move the activity to an indoor area within the festival grounds. We always have a backup plan in place to ensure your attendees can enjoy the creative experience regardless of whether it is sunshine or rain.
Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival-goers?
Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for all participants. Our professional artists also provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-odour, high-quality paints and ensure that the workshop area is well-ventilated and situated at a safe distance from food stalls or sensitive festival areas.
How many people can participate in the workshop at once?
We can scale our team based on your event size. From a single artist for a small community gathering to a large team for major events like Gothenburg Culture Festival, we have the capacity. Our 'walk-in' format allows hundreds of people to participate throughout the day, as we rotate groups through the creation process every 15-20 minutes to keep the energy high.
Is this activity suitable for all ages?
The local Gothenburg community loves street art, and our workshops are designed for everyone! We have specialist techniques for children as young as six, as well as engaging setups for adults and seniors. Graffiti is a universal language that breaks down barriers, making it one of the most inclusive activities you can add to a festival programme.
Do participants get to keep what they create?
We offer several options! Many festivals choose to have participants spray on a massive temporary 'graffiti wall' that stays on display as a photo backdrop. Alternatively, we can provide individual canvases or tote bags that attendees can take home as a unique souvenir of their time at your event. We can even customise the designs to include your festival’s logo or theme.
Do I need to pay upfront for the festival booking?
Not at all! You don't need to pay a penny until after the workshop is complete and everyone is happy. We believe in the quality of our service and want you to feel completely confident in booking us. After the festival, we will send an invoice based on the agreed quote. It’s stress-free and built on trust.
