Is the graffiti activity safe for a festival environment?
Absolutely! We use high-quality spray paint designed for outdoor and indoor festival use. For indoor setups, we use low-odour water-based paints and professional ventilation solutions. We also provide all necessary protective gear like gloves and masks. Our onsite Halifax artists manage the entire 'spray zone' to ensure the safety of both participants and festival-goers, keeping the mess contained while the creativity flows.
How many people can participate in the workshop at once?
We can scale to fit almost any festival size in Nova Scotia! From a small interactive booth to a massive 100-foot communal mural wall, we adjust our team of artists and material supplies based on your expected foot traffic. We’ve handled everything from intimate community gatherings to large-scale music festivals, ensuring everyone gets a chance to pick up a can and contribute.
Can you provide a live demonstration instead of a workshop?
Yes, we can! One of our most popular festival options is the 'Live Mural' where our professional artists paint a stunning masterpiece in real-time. This provides an incredible visual spectacle for attendees. We can even leave designated sections open for the public to join in, creating a hybrid of professional performance art and interactive community engagement.
What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?
Graffitifun is a rain-or-shine operation! If your Halifax event is outdoors, we recommend having a tent or covered area as a backup. However, we can also work under our own gazebos. Since spray paint doesn't mix well with heavy pouring rain, we always coordinate with festival organizers on a 'Plan B' to ensure the show goes on regardless of the Atlantic weather.
Do we need to provide the walls or surfaces?
Usually, yes! We can customize the graffiti boards or canvases so they can be disassembled and kept by the festival organizers or auctioned off for charity. If you prefer a temporary setup, we use mobile wooden walls or heavy-duty plastic wrap (cellograff) that can be easily recycled after the event. We handle all the heavy lifting and cleanup, leaving your venue pristine.
How much does it cost to book Graffitifun for a festival?
Every event is unique, especially in a vibrant city like Halifax. Our pricing typically ranges from C$40 to C$90 per person, but for festivals, we often work on a flat day rate or a per-project basis. This depends on the duration, amount of paint used, and number of artists required. Contact us for a custom quote tailored to your specific festival budget!
