Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival attendees?
Absolutely! Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective suits for all participants. Our professional artists are trained to manage crowds and ensure that the spray paint is used responsibly. We also use low-odour, high-quality paint to keep the environment pleasant for everyone attending your Lyon festival.
What is the minimum age for participants?
We recommend a minimum age of 6 for our festival workshops. For the younger kids, we focus on larger shapes and simple techniques, while teenagers and adults can dive into more complex shading and lettering. It’s a fantastic way to keep children engaged while parents enjoy the music or other festival attractions!
What if the festival venue doesn't have a wall for us to paint?
We’ve got you covered! We can bring mobile wooden walls or large cellophane 'wrap-walls' that can be stretched between trees or pillars. This means we can set up almost anywhere in Lyon without needing a permanent building. We’ll just need a flat surface and a bit of space for the creative magic to happen.
Do people need prior artistic experience to join in?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artists will guide your guests through the basics, from how to hold the can to creating clean lines. We find that people who have never touched a spray can before often produce the most surprising and vibrant results!
How long does a typical festival session last?
The duration is completely flexible. We can run a 'walk-in' style workshop that lasts the entire day, where people join for 15-20 minutes, or we can host scheduled sessions of 1-2 hours for more depth. We’ll work with your festival schedule to ensure the flow is perfect.
What happens if it rains during the event?
We are prepared for the French weather! If it’s just a light drizzle, we can often continue under gazebos or tents. If the weather turns truly nasty, we can move the activation indoors using water-based, low-odour spray cans that are safe for internal use. We always have a backup plan!
Can we request a specific theme for the festival artwork?
Lyon is a hub of creativity, and we love incorporating local history! Whether you want to pay homage to the Lumière brothers, the city's famous gastronomy, or the local 'Gones' culture, our artists can design a concept that resonates deeply with the Lyon community and your festival's specific theme.
