Does this workshop encourage illegal graffiti?

Absolutely not! Our Lugano anti-vandalism program is specifically designed to teach the difference between illegal tagging and artistic expression. We provide a legal, controlled environment where participants can channel their energy into creative murals. By giving people a sense of ownership and pride in their work, we actually see a significant decrease in local vandalism. It’s about respect for the city and the craft.

Is the workshop safe for younger participants?

Safety is our top priority in Switzerland. We provide high-quality FFP3 respiratory masks, protective overalls, and gloves to every participant. Our professional artists lead a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We also use low-odour, professional-grade paints and ensure our outdoor locations in Lugano have excellent ventilation to keep everyone comfortable and safe throughout the session.

How long does the experience last?

Typical sessions in Lugano last between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for the introductory talk on street art history, sketching your ideas, practicing basic spray techniques, and finally completing a group or individual masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or are integrating this into a larger Swiss school trip or corporate away day, we can easily customise the duration to fit.

What is the ideal group size for this program?

We are very flexible! Our anti-vandalism workshops are perfect for groups ranging from small school classes of 10 to large community events with over 100 people. For very large groups in Lugano, we bring in additional backup artists to ensure everyone gets hands-on guidance. No matter the size, we maintain a high artist-to-participant ratio so the quality remains top-notch.

What can we expect during the actual workshop?

Expect to have a blast! The session starts with an inspiring look at street art culture, followed by a 'rules of the road' talk regarding legal vs. illegal art. You’ll then get your hands on the cans, learning everything from 'fat cap' fills to fine-line detailing. By the end, you’ll have helped create a vibrant, professional-looking mural that reflects your group's unique personality.

Do we need any prior artistic experience?

Not at all! Many of our participants in Ticino have never held a spray can before. Our expert artists are fantastic at breaking down complex techniques into simple, manageable steps. We focus on the 'fun' in Graffitifun, ensuring that even those who think they aren't 'artistic' walk away feeling proud of what they’ve created. It’s all about the experience and learning.

What should we wear and bring with us?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide full-body protective overalls, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto sleeves or shoes if you're particularly enthusiastic! Other than that, just bring your energy and an open mind—we provide all the paint, masks, boards, and expertise you need.
