How it works

  1. Initial consultation: Reach out and tell us about your Tarija event. We’ll discuss the vibe, the crowd size, and the space available to suggest the perfect graffiti setup.
  2. Custom design phase: Our artists sketch out concepts that align with your festival theme. Whether it's a huge collective mural or individual spray stations, we plan it all.
  3. No-fuss setup: On the day of the festival, our team arrives early to set up boards, drop cloths, and all the gear. You don't need to lift a finger—we handle the logistics!
  4. Artist demonstration: We kick things off with a high-energy demo. Watching a pro turn a blank wall into a masterpiece is the perfect way to draw a crowd.
  5. Hands-on participation: Now for the fun part! Attendees grab a can and, under the guidance of our artists, start adding their own flair to the festival art.
  6. Live coaching: Our team stays on-site throughout the session, teaching techniques and ensuring everyone feels confident and creative.
  7. The big reveal: As the workshop nears its end, we add the finishing touches and outlines, leaving you with a stunning piece of street art created by the community.
  8. Clean and clear: Once the session is over, we pack up quickly and leave the area spotless. The art remains as a testament to the festival's creative spirit!

Practical details

We pride ourselves on being the easiest part of your festival planning. Our workshops are designed to be "plug and play." We bring our own boards, high-grade low-odour paints, and safety equipment. Typical festival sessions run anywhere from 90 minutes to a full 3-hour immersive slot, but we can stay for multiple days if your event is a big one! Safety is our number one priority, so we provide professional-grade masks and gloves for every participant. Whether you have 20 people or 2,000, we scale our team of backup artists to ensure no one is left waiting with an empty can.

Pricing

Every festival is unique, from the number of stages to the volume of visitors. Because of this, we offer bespoke packages tailored to your specific needs. Whether you want a small interactive corner or a massive multi-artist production, we have a solution that fits. Prices depend on group size and setup—request a quote today to get an instant estimate! 🎨🔥

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for a busy festival environment?

Absolutely! We use high-quality water-based spray paints for indoor festival setups and standard aerosols for outdoor zones. We provide all the necessary protective gear, including masks, gloves, and ponchos, to keep everyone safe and clean. Our instructors are experts at managing crowds and ensuring the spray stays on the canvas and not on the festival-goers' outfits! Safety and fun go hand-in-hand with Graffitifun.

How much space do you need at the festival grounds?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you have a small corner for a 'tag wall' or a massive open space for a collaborative mural, we can make it work. Most of our Tarija festival setups require about 3x3 metres per station, but we can scale up or down based on your floor plan. Just let us know your dimensions, and we will design a layout that maximises flow and engagement.

Do festival attendees need prior art experience?

Not at all! One of the best things about our workshops is that they are designed for everyone, from toddlers to grandparents. Our professional artists provide constant guidance, teaching basic techniques like 'fading', 'outlining', and 'capping'. We often find that people who claim they have no artistic talent end up creating the most impressive pieces once they get a spray can in their hands.

Can the graffiti art be themed to our specific festival?

Yes! We can tailor the entire experience to match your festival’s branding, colour palette, or theme. Whether you want a specific hashtag integrated into a mural or you want the art to reflect Tarija’s wine culture and folklore, our artists will incorporate those elements into the designs. It’s a fantastic way to create a cohesive aesthetic across your event while providing interactive entertainment.

How do we book and what are the payment terms?

Booking is simple and stress-free. Contact us with your dates, expected visitor numbers, and location in Tarija. We provide a transparent quote, and the best part is you don't have to pay a penny upfront. You only pay after the workshop is complete and everyone is happy. We also have backup artists on standby to ensure your festival entertainment goes ahead no matter what.

Can participants take their artwork home?

Definitely! Many festivals choose to have one 'Legacy Mural' that stays on-site or is moved to a local community centre, while also allowing individual guests to spray smaller canvases or cardboard 'bricks' that they can take home as a unique souvenir. It’s a great way for people to remember the amazing time they had at your event long after the music stops.
