Do I need any previous art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from absolute beginners to those with a creative background. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic can control and safety. You don't need to be 'artistic' to have a great time and create something you're proud of. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before they join us in Bologna.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a fantastic session. This includes high-quality spray paint in a variety of colours, protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvas or wall space for your creation. Just wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty, and bring your enthusiasm for Bologna street art!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our number one priority. We use professional-grade low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control, and we provide high-quality respiratory masks and gloves to all participants. Our instructors are experienced professionals who provide a full safety briefing before any paint is sprayed. We also ensure our workshop locations in Bologna are well-ventilated and spacious enough for everyone to work comfortably.

How long does the experience typically last?

A standard cultural event workshop usually lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This time allows for a brief history of graffiti, a demonstration of techniques, practice time, and the creation of a final collaborative masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or time constraint for your event in Bologna, let us know and we can often tailor the duration to fit your needs.

Where in Bologna do the workshops take place?

We are highly flexible! We can host workshops at various locations across Bologna, including outdoor street art spots or indoor creative studios. If you have a specific venue in mind for your cultural event, we can often bring the workshop to you. We just need a well-ventilated area and permission from the property owner. Contact us to discuss the best location for your group.

What happens if it rains on the day of the event?

Bologna is known for its grey skies occasionally, but we don't let that stop the fun! For outdoor workshops, we always have a backup plan. This might involve moving to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space. If the weather is truly severe, we can also look at rescheduling. We also have backup artists available, so your event will never be cancelled due to staff illness.

How does the payment process work?

We believe in the quality of our workshops, which is why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy. You don't need to make any upfront payments to secure your booking. Once the event is finished and your group is happy with the experience, we'll handle the invoice. This makes the booking process stress-free and ensures you are 100% satisfied with our service.

Local culture

Bologna is a city of contrasts, where medieval towers overlook streets lined with cutting-edge urban art. From the historic student quarters to the industrial spaces of the outskirts, the city has long been a canvas for political and social expression. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, often taking place near legendary spots like Via Zamboni or the Pratello district, where street art is part of the daily rhythm. We celebrate the "Bologna school" of graffiti, blending the city's intellectual heritage with the raw energy of modern spray paint. By joining us, you aren't just an observer; you become part of the city's living, breathing artistic narrative, contributing your own lines to a landscape that has inspired creators for centuries.

Pricing

Our workshop prices are designed to be accessible while ensuring a high-quality, professional experience. Prices typically range from €25 to €55 per person, depending on the number of participants, the location, and the specific requirements of your event.

We pride ourselves on transparency: there are no hidden costs and no upfront payment is required. You only pay after the workshop is complete and you are satisfied with the result.
