Can you provide graffiti entertainment at our specific festival location in Linz?
Absolutely! While we love our base in the Mural Harbor, we are fully mobile. Our team can bring the entire festival setup to your location in Linz or the surrounding Upper Austria region. We provide the boards, the paint, the protection, and the professional artists. All we need from you is an accessible space and a crowd ready to have some creative fun.
Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival-goers?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls for all participants. Our professional artists supervise the spray zone at all times, ensuring that the spray cans are used correctly and that everyone stays safe while having a blast. We use low-odour, professional-grade paints that are safer for both the artists and the festive environment.
What is the age limit for festival participants?
The beauty of graffiti is that it’s for everyone! We’ve had toddlers making their first marks and grandparents showing off their tagging skills. For festivals, we usually suggest children be at least 6 years old to handle the spray cans properly, but we can always adapt the activity with markers or stencils for the younger ones so nobody feels left out of the fun.
How do you handle the cleanup and 'no-trace' requirements?
We are experts at logistics. We set up professional wooden walls or use 'cellograff' (industrial cling film between pillars) to create temporary canvases. This means we don't leave any permanent marks on the festival grounds. Once the event is over, we dismantle everything, leaving the site exactly as we found it—except for the beautiful memories and perhaps some amazing canvases for you to keep!
How much does it cost to hire an artist for a festival?
Our pricing typically ranges between €30 and €60 per person, but for large-scale festivals, we often work with flat day rates or custom packages. Because every festival in Linz is unique—varying in size, duration, and number of artists needed—we recommend using our online Cost Calculator or requesting a custom quote. This ensures you get the best value for your specific event budget.
What happens if it rains during the event?
We are prepared for the Austrian weather! If the forecast looks dodgy, we can set up under gazebos or move the workshop to an indoor or covered area of the festival. Our spray paint works fine in damp conditions, but we always ensure the participants and the finished artwork stay dry. We also have backup artists available to ensure your event goes ahead no matter what.
How long does a typical festival workshop last?
Most festival workshops last between 1.5 and 3 hours per session, but we can also provide 'drop-in' stations that run for the entire duration of your event. This allows guests to come and go as they please, contributing a few strokes to a massive communal mural or creating a quick individual piece to take home as a unique festival souvenir.
