Why choose us in Amsterdam?

Why choose graffiti for your next team development session in Amsterdam? It’s not just about the art; it’s about how you work together. Here is why it works:

Levels the playing field: In front of a blank wall, everyone—from the CEO to the intern—starts at the same level, fostering an environment of equality.
Physical collaboration: Unlike digital tasks, spray painting requires physical coordination and spatial awareness with your colleagues.
Creative problem solving: Dealing with a large-scale mural encourages teams to think outside the box and find creative solutions on the fly.
Memorable results: The sense of pride from seeing a massive, colourful mural created together lasts much longer than a standard dinner or drinks.
Stress relief: The tactile nature of spray painting is a fantastic way for teams to vent creative energy and de-stress in a fun, safe environment.
Zero risk: With our 'pay later' policy and backup artist guarantee, your planning is completely stress-free.

How it works

Introductory briefing: Your team meets our professional artists at an iconic Amsterdam location for a safety talk and a brief history of the city's street art scene.
The 'can' basics: Learn how to handle the spray cans, understand pressure control, and get comfortable with different nozzle types for various effects.
Concept brainstorming: Work together to decide on a theme or message that represents your team’s goals or Dutch corporate culture.
First strokes: Practice basic shapes and lines on your own space to build confidence before moving on to the main collaborative project.
Collaborative sketching: We help the team outline a large-scale mural, ensuring everyone has a dedicated section to work on.
Filling and fading: Learn advanced techniques like colour blending and 'fades' to bring depth and energy to your shared artwork.
Outlining and highlights: Add the finishing touches that make the piece 'pop', using sharp outlines and highlights to define the team's work.
Group critique and photos: Step back to admire the final result, take team photos, and discuss the collaborative process in a relaxed atmosphere.
Clean up and wrap: We handle all the disposal of materials, leaving you to head off for a celebratory drink in the city.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical team development session last?

Most sessions in Amsterdam last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This provides enough time for a thorough safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of your team masterpiece. We can also adjust the timing to fit into a tighter corporate schedule or extend it for a more in-depth artistic session if your team wants to dive deeper into the subculture.

Do we need any previous artistic experience to participate?

No artistic skills are required at all! Our professional graffiti artists are experts at guiding complete beginners through the process. We break everything down into simple steps, from how to hold the spray can to creating clean lines and fades. Most participants are genuinely surprised by the high-quality results they can achieve by the end of the workshop.

What safety measures and protective gear do you provide?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to protect against fumes, along with protective suits and gloves to keep your clothes clean. The workshops are held in well-ventilated areas, often at Amsterdam's official 'Hall of Fame' spots, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for all team members to express their creativity.

Can the workshop be held at our office in Amsterdam?

We offer total flexibility. We can host your team at one of Amsterdam's iconic legal graffiti zones like NDSM Wharf, or we can bring the workshop to your office or a chosen event venue using special low-odour cans or large canvas setups. If you want the authentic street experience, we highly recommend the outdoor creative hubs the city is famous for.

What happens if it rains or an artist is unavailable?

Absolutely! We rarely cancel. In the event of typical Dutch rain, we have access to covered outdoor locations or indoor alternatives in Amsterdam. Additionally, we have a pool of backup artists ready to step in if your assigned instructor is unwell, ensuring your team development day goes ahead exactly as planned without any stress.

How does the payment process work for corporate groups?

Unlike many other providers, Graffitifun offers a 'pay after the workshop' policy. We trust our clients and are confident in the quality of our service. This means you don't have to worry about upfront payments or administrative hurdles before the event. Once the workshop is completed and your team is satisfied, we will handle the billing process.

Can we incorporate our company logo into the artwork?

Yes, we can definitely incorporate your brand! Many teams choose to create a large-scale mural that features the company logo or represents their core values. Our artists can pre-sketch basic outlines or provide stencils to ensure your brand identity is respected while still allowing the team to have full creative freedom with colours and fills.
