Frequently asked questions
Can you host a graffiti workshop indoors at a Mechelen venue?
Absolutely! We use high-quality, water-based spray paints for indoor setups and ensure the area is well-ventilated. We also provide protective gear like gloves and masks. Whether your festival is in a marquee by the Dijle or inside a local community hall, we bring all the necessary floor protection to keep the venue spotless while the art stays on the canvas. Safety and cleanliness are our top priorities.
What is the maximum group size for a festival workshop?
We are incredibly flexible! Whether you are expecting a few dozen people at a boutique gathering or thousands at a major city festival, we can scale our team and materials accordingly. We often set up multiple 'stations' so that several groups can spray simultaneously, ensuring that no one has to wait too long to get their hands on a spray can and start creating.
What materials do you provide for the festival workshop?
Everything is included! We provide professional-grade spray cans in a rainbow of colours, high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your festival outfits clean. We also bring the canvases or mobile walls and, most importantly, our expert artists who guide everyone through the process. You just need to provide the space and the enthusiastic crowd; we handle the rest of the logistics.
Is the workshop suitable for children and families?
We work with everyone! Our workshops are designed to be inclusive, meaning kids (usually 6+), teenagers, and adults can all join in the fun. For festivals, we often create a 'walk-in' setup where people of all ages can contribute to a giant collaborative mural. It is a fantastic way to bridge the generation gap and get everyone involved in a shared creative goal.
How long does a typical festival graffiti session last?
For festivals, we recommend sessions ranging from quick 20-minute 'taster' slots to full-day drop-in sessions. Because festivals are fast-paced, we usually set up a 'flow' system where people can join in, spray for a while, and then move on to the next attraction. We can tailor the timing to match your festival’s schedule perfectly, ensuring maximum engagement throughout the event.
Do participants need any prior art experience?
Not at all! One of the best things about our workshops is that they are designed for complete beginners. Our professional graffiti artists are masters at teaching the basics quickly. We provide stencils and simple techniques that allow even the least 'artistic' person to create something they can be proud of. It is all about the experience, the energy, and having a blast with the paint!
