Frequently asked questions
What happens if it rains or is too hot during the festival?
Absolutely! While Heraklion's summer sun is legendary, we have professional indoor setups and pop-up marquees to ensure the spray cans keep clicking even if the weather decides otherwise. For outdoor festival zones, we provide cooling stations and shade so the artists and participants stay comfortable while creating their masterpieces. We’re experts at adapting to the Cretan climate!
Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival-goers?
Safety is our top priority. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our spray paints are selected for their quality, and our professional instructors supervise every single spray. We also ensure that our workshop area is well-ventilated and situated at a safe distance from food stalls or sensitive festival zones.
What materials do you provide for the event?
We bring everything! This includes premium spray cans in every colour of the rainbow, nozzles (caps), protective clothing, and the 'canvases'—which could be anything from large wooden panels to a massive plastic-wrap wall. We also provide professional instructors who are great at crowd engagement. You just provide the space and the festival crowd!
How many people can participate at once?
We can scale to fit your needs. From small boutique gatherings in the Heraklion hills to massive city-wide festivals near the port, we have the team size to handle it. We can run multiple stations simultaneously, allowing hundreds of people to contribute to a collaborative mural throughout the day, ensuring no one feels left out of the creative process.
Do participants need prior artistic experience?
Not at all! Our festival workshops are designed for everyone from 'never-held-a-can' beginners to seasoned creatives. Our artists guide participants through basic techniques like 'flaring' and 'cutting' so they can contribute something beautiful to the mural immediately. It’s all about the experience and having a blast, not about being a gallery-ready artist on day one.
How long does a typical festival workshop last?
The setup is flexible. For a standard festival flow, we recommend at least a 2-hour window, but we often run full-day 'drop-in' stations where the mural evolves from morning to night. We’ll work with your festival schedule to ensure the peak energy times are covered and the big reveal happens exactly when you want it to.
Do we need to pay in advance?
No upfront payment is required! We believe in the quality of our service and want you to feel confident in booking us for your Heraklion event. You can settle the payment after the workshop is successfully completed. This keeps things stress-free for festival organisers who already have a million other logistics to worry about.
