Is it safe to have graffiti art near food stalls?

Absolutely! We use high-quality, water-based spray paints for indoor setups or specialized low-odour cans for outdoor food areas. Safety is our priority, so we provide all necessary protective gear like masks, gloves, and aprons. Our professional artists ensure the 'spray zone' is contained, keeping the focus on the fun and the food without making a mess of the venue.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

We recommend between 1.5 to 3 hours for a standard festival activation. This gives enough time for a rotating flow of guests to try their hand at spray painting without creating long queues. If you have a multi-day event like the Royal Highland Show, we can provide all-day coverage with multiple artists to keep the energy high from start to finish.

Do participants need any prior art experience?

No talent? No problem! Most of our festival participants have never touched a spray can before. Our Edinburgh-based artists are experts at guiding beginners through the basics, from simple tags to filling in shapes. We use stencils and 'cheat codes' to make sure everyone walks away feeling like a pro. It’s all about the experience and having a laugh!

What happens if it rains during our outdoor food festival?

We are prepared for the unpredictable Scottish climate! If your food festival is outdoors, we can set up under professional-grade gazebos or use mobile 'graffiti walls' that can be moved under cover if the clouds open up. We always have a backup plan (and backup artists) to ensure your event entertainment goes ahead, rain or shine.

What materials do you provide for the event?

We can bring everything! This includes mobile wooden walls or canvases, hundreds of cans of premium spray paint in every colour of the rainbow, and all protective equipment. If your event has a specific theme—like 'Sustainable Seafood' or 'Spicy Street Food'—we can even pre-sketch designs that match your festival’s branding to make the final piece look extra polished.

Can we create one large mural together?

Definitely! One of our most popular options for food festivals is the 'Collaborative Canvas.' We set up a massive wall where every visitor adds a small piece of art. By the end of the festival, you have a giant, community-created masterpiece that represents the spirit of the day. It’s a fantastic way to engage the crowd and create a lasting memory.

Helyi kultúra

In Edinburgh, street art is woven into the historic fabric of the city. From the colourful murals of Leith to the hidden gems in the Cowgate, the capital has a deep appreciation for urban expression. We bring that same 'Auld Reekie' spirit to your festival, blending the grit of the street with the refinement of the city’s culinary experts. We love working in iconic spots like Princes Street Gardens or the Shore, where the backdrop is just as inspiring as the art itself.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Edinburgh was the first city in the world to be named a UNESCO City of Literature? We love incorporating 'literary graffiti' or poetic quotes into our festival workshops to give a nod to this incredible heritage! 📚🖋️
