Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for all ages at a festival?
Absolutely! We pride ourselves on being inclusive. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paint and provide all necessary safety gear, including masks and gloves. Our professional artists provide constant supervision and clear instructions, ensuring that every festival-goer, from young kids to grandparents, can enjoy the graffiti experience in a secure and controlled environment. Safety is our top priority while we're having fun!
What kind of space do you need for a festival setup?
We are very flexible! While we love working outdoors in the Jozi sun, we can easily set up under gazebos, inside marquees, or in ventilated indoor halls. We use specialized floor coverings to ensure we leave the festival grounds exactly as we found them. Whether it's a sunny day at a music fest or an indoor cultural exhibition, we bring the vibe to you.
What materials are included in the festival entertainment package?
We handle everything so you don't have to! Our team brings high-quality spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective suits, gloves, masks, and the "canvas"—which could be large boards, a communal wall, or even items like caps or tote bags. We also provide professional instructors who are seasoned street artists ready to guide the crowd through their creative journey.
Can you create a large-scale mural that multiple people work on?
Yes, we do! One of our most popular festival formats is the 'Communal Mural' where everyone contributes a small piece to a massive artwork. It’s a fantastic way to build a sense of community and leaves the festival with a stunning, giant souvenir that represents the collective spirit of the day. It’s always a massive hit with the crowds!
Do participants need any prior art experience?
Not at all. In fact, most people who join us have never touched a spray can before. Our Joburg-based artists are experts at breaking down the basics of 'tagging', 'piecing', and 'shading' into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We’re here to unleash the hidden artist in everyone, regardless of their previous experience or artistic skill level. It's about the experience, not perfection!
How long does a typical festival graffiti session last?
A standard festival activation can last anywhere from 3 to 8 hours, depending on your schedule. We can run continuous 'drop-in' sessions where people come and go, or scheduled workshops at specific times. We are used to the fast-paced nature of South African events and can scale our timing and team to fit your specific festival program perfectly.
What happens if the weather doesn't play along on the day?
Johannesburg weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. If the wind picks up or a summer thundershower hits, we can quickly move under cover or pause until the sun returns. Because we don't require upfront payments, there is less stress for organizers. We also have a pool of backup artists ready to go, ensuring your entertainment goes off without a hitch!
