Frequently asked questions
Will participants get paint on their clothes during the festival?
Absolutely! We provide high-quality protective suits, gloves, and masks to keep everyone’s festival gear clean. While we take every precaution, we always suggest that participants don't wear their absolute favourite designer clothes to the workshop, just in case they get a little too enthusiastic with the spray cans! Safety and cleanliness are our top priorities.
What kind of paint do you use for festival workshops?
We utilize professional-grade, low-odour spray paint specifically designed for ease of use. For indoor festival settings or areas with limited ventilation, we can also provide water-based spray cans that are much friendlier for indoor environments. All our materials are chosen to ensure a smooth, fun, and safe experience for every attendee, regardless of their skill level.
How do you handle safety at a crowded event?
Safety is our number one rule. We provide all necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including masks and gloves. Our professional artists conduct a safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We also manage the 'blast zone' to ensure spray stays on the boards and doesn't drift toward other festival attractions or food vendors.
What kind of space do you need for the setup?
We are incredibly flexible! Whether you have a small corner in a local Montreal park or a massive footprint at a major music festival, we can scale our setup. Typically, we use mobile wooden walls or large canvases. As long as we have a flat surface and a bit of 'elbow room' for the artists, we are good to go!
Can you accommodate very large crowds?
Yes! One of our most popular festival options is the 'Community Mural,' where every visitor adds a small piece to a giant masterpiece. By the end of the festival, you have a massive, professional-looking artwork that represents the collective spirit of the event. It’s a fantastic way to engage hundreds of people in a short amount of time.
How does the payment process work?
Payments are simple and stress-free. Unlike many vendors, we don't require an upfront deposit to secure your date. You only pay after the festival workshop is complete. We accept various payment methods and will send you a clear, itemized invoice once the event is wrapped up and everyone is happy with the results.
