Is the anti-vandalism program actually fun for the participants?

Absolutely! While we focus on the artistic and legal side of graffiti, the workshop is designed to be fun and hands-on. We use the same high-quality spray cans and professional techniques as street artists, ensuring everyone has a blast while learning. It's about channelling that creative energy into something positive and impressive that you can be proud of without breaking any laws.

How does a workshop help prevent illegal vandalism in Bergen?

Graffiti vandalism often stems from a lack of creative outlets or understanding of the impact on the community. Our program addresses this by providing a professional platform for expression. By teaching the 'code' of street art and the value of legal walls, we shift the perspective from destruction to creation. Many participants find that having a legal outlet completely removes the urge to spray illegally.

What safety measures do you take during the workshop?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality FFP3 masks to filter out fumes, gloves to keep hands clean, and protective suits to save your clothes. Our professional artists are trained in site safety and manage the group closely. We also choose outdoor or well-ventilated indoor locations to ensure a safe breathing environment for everyone involved.

Where in Bergen can these workshops take place?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you want us to come to your school, a local community centre, or meet us at one of Bergen's designated legal graffiti zones, we can make it work. We bring all the equipment to you. If you don't have a specific wall, we can set up professional mobile plastic foils or wooden panels to create a temporary 'canvas' anywhere.

Do participants need to have artistic skills beforehand?

No prior talent or experience is needed at all. Our artists are experts at breaking down complex styles into simple, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and shapes, so even those who think they 'can't draw' will end up creating a piece of art they are proud of. The focus is on the process, the message, and the joy of using a spray can correctly.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard anti-vandalism workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a solid introductory talk about the history and ethics of graffiti, followed by a demonstration and a long practical session where everyone gets to paint. We can shorten or lengthen the duration depending on your specific schedule and the number of participants joined.

Is there an upfront payment required to book?

Not at all! One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'pay after' policy. We believe in the quality of our service, so you don't need to worry about upfront fees or deposits. You simply book the date, we provide an amazing experience, and the invoicing is handled after the workshop is complete. Plus, we always have backup artists ready to ensure your event never gets cancelled.

Bergen is a city known for its stunning beauty, from the colourful houses of Bryggen to the surrounding mountains. However, like any vibrant urban area, it faces challenges with illegal tagging and vandalism. At Graffitifun, we believe the best way to tackle this isn't through more grey paint, but through education and creative empowerment. Our anti-vandalism graffiti program in Bergen offers a unique, hands-on experience that teaches the history, ethics, and techniques of street art in a legal and constructive environment. By turning potential 'vandalism' into professional expression, we help young people and community groups understand the value of their environment. Whether you're a school, a youth group, or a local council, our workshops provide a positive alternative that leaves a lasting impression on the participants, rather than on the city's walls.

The experience

Choosing an anti-vandalism approach through art is a proven way to reduce illegal tagging while fostering community pride. Our workshops in Bergen offer more than just a fun day out; they provide a meaningful shift in perspective.

Channel energy: We turn the urge to spray into a disciplined, respected art form.
Expert mentors: Learn from real graffiti artists who understand the street code and the importance of legal spots.
Community impact: Participants develop a sense of ownership over their work and respect for their surroundings.
No-risk booking: With our 'pay afterwards' policy, your budget is safe until the job is done.
Fully mobile: We can bring the workshop to any part of Bergen, meaning no expensive transport for your group.
A positive message: We focus on the ethics of the art form, not just the technique.

Step by step

Introductory briefing: We start with a chat about the difference between street art and vandalism, explaining the impact of illegal tagging on the city.
Safety first: Everyone gets kitted out in protective suits, gloves, and professional masks to stay clean and safe.
The basics: Our artists demonstrate proper can control, showing you how to manage pressure, distance, and finger placement.
Sketching the design: Participants learn how to plan their piece, focusing on 'tags', 'throws', and larger 'pieces' on paper or directly on the surface.
Filling and fading: Learn the professional techniques for solid colour fills and smooth gradients to make the artwork pop.
Outlining: This is where the magic happens; we teach you how to sharpen the edges of your work with clean outlines.
Details and highlights: Add those final touches like 'shines' and 3D shadows that give the graffiti its depth.
Group reflection: We finish by reviewing the collective work and reinforcing the message of respect for public and private property.

Local culture

Bergen has a unique relationship with street art. As the birthplace of some of Norway's most famous stencil artists, the city has a rich underground culture that often clashes with the pristine nature of its UNESCO World Heritage sites. From the legendary graffiti seen around Verftet to the hidden gems in the alleys of Sentrum, there is inspiration everywhere. Our program taps into this local vibe, teaching participants to respect the historic architecture of Bergen while finding proper outlets for their creativity. We celebrate the 'Seven Mountains' spirit by showing that art should elevate a community, not degrade it. By understanding the local scene's rules, participants become guardians of their city’s visual identity rather than detracting from it.

Pricing

Our anti-vandalism programs are tailored to each specific project to ensure maximum impact and value. Pricing typically ranges from kr300 to kr650 per person, including all professional materials and protective equipment. The final price depends on the number of participants, the duration of the workshop, and the location within Bergen or the surrounding Vestland region.

We pride ourselves on transparency: No upfront payment is required. You only pay after the workshop is successfully completed. For schools, youth projects, or community groups, we can often create a package that fits your specific budget.
