Frequently asked questions
How do we book a graffiti workshop for our Marseille festival?
Booking is super simple! You can use our online cost calculator for an instant estimate or send us a message via our contact form. We don't require upfront payments because we trust our community. Once we've discussed your Marseille festival's specific needs, we'll lock in the date and ensure a backup artist is on standby so your event goes off without a hitch.
Can festival-goers take their artwork home with them?
Absolutely! While we love letting people loose on large festival walls, we also offer 'take-away' options where guests can spray-paint their own canvases or trucker caps. These make for incredible, personalised souvenirs that remind them of the amazing time they had at your event. It's a great way to add value to your festival's merchandise or VIP areas. 🎨
Is the graffiti activity safe for a crowded festival environment?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits for all participants. In a festival setting, we ensure our spray zone is properly ventilated and cordoned off from the main crowds to keep onlookers safe while still allowing them to enjoy the spectacle. Our Marseille artists are fully trained in managing large, excited groups!
What age groups are these festival workshops suitable for?
Graffiti is a universal language! We've hosted workshops for toddlers (using water-based pens or supervised spraying) all the way up to grandparents. For festivals in Marseille, we usually tailor the complexity of the designs based on who is standing in front of us at the time. It’s an inclusive activity that everyone can enjoy together.
What equipment do you provide for the event?
We bring everything! This includes a wide array of professional spray cans in every colour of the rainbow, nozzles (caps), protective gear, and the painting surfaces themselves (whether that's mobile walls or canvases). You just need to provide the space and the crowd. We can even bring our own pop-up structures if the venue doesn't have suitable walls.
Do participants need any prior artistic experience?
Not at all! Our professional artists specialize in helping complete beginners find their inner Banksy. We guide participants through basic techniques like 'lining', 'filling', and 'fading'. Most people are shocked at how quickly they can create something that looks professional. It’s all about building confidence and having a blast under the Marseille sun. ✨
