Frequently asked questions
Is it safe and messy for a public festival?
Absolutely! We provide high-quality protective suits, gloves, and masks to keep everyone’s festive outfits clean. We use specialized low-odor spray paint that is easier on the lungs and the environment. While we take every precaution, we always suggest that participants wear comfortable clothes they don't mind getting a tiny bit of 'creative dust' on, just in case! Safety and cleanliness are our top priorities.
What kind of space do you need for the setup?
We are incredibly flexible! Whether you have a massive outdoor music festival at an open park or a smaller cultural event in a Kyoto courtyard, we can adapt. We can use mobile cellophane walls (wrap-art), large wooden canvases, or even legal designated wall spaces. Our team handles the entire setup and teardown, ensuring the venue stays exactly as we found it—minus the beautiful new art!
Is this workshop suitable for children and families?
We love working with all ages! For festivals, we usually have 'junior' cans that are easier for small hands to operate and a dedicated section for kids to scribble and spray. For the adults and teens, we offer more technical guidance. It’s a multi-generational activity that brings families together, making it a perfect fit for Kyoto’s community-focused events and matsuri celebrations.
Do participants need any prior art experience?
No experience? No problem! That is actually the most fun part. Our professional artists are masters at teaching the 'basics of the blast' in just a few minutes. We guide participants through every step, from holding the can to creating clean lines and shadows. Most people are shocked by the high-quality masterpiece they can create with just a little bit of expert coaching!
How long does a typical festival workshop last?
The length of the activation is totally up to you. We can run continuous 'drop-in' sessions for the duration of a 3-day festival, or perform a single 2-hour intensive workshop. Most festival organizers prefer our 'flow' model, where people can join for 20-30 minutes, contribute to a massive collaborative mural, and then continue enjoying the rest of the event festivities.
What are the payment terms and booking guarantees?
We believe in 'fun first,' so we don't require any upfront payments to lock in your date. You can plan your festival with peace of mind knowing the financial side is handled after the event is successfully completed. We also have backup artists on standby for every booking, so you never have to worry about a cancellation ruining your Kyoto event schedule.
