Do I need to have any artistic talent or experience?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Groningen have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, from how to hold the can to mastering pressure control. We create a supportive environment where 'mistakes' are just part of the art. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created, even if you can't draw a straight line today!

What should I wear to the workshop?

We suggest wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little 'artistic' on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy. It’s best to leave your designer gear at home and opt for something practical so you can focus entirely on your creativity without worrying about a stray paint drip.

Is the paint safe and what safety gear do you provide?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and provide professional-grade masks and gloves for all participants. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoor locations. Our team of experts will give a full safety briefing before we start, ensuring everyone can enjoy the creative process in a secure and professional environment.

How long does a typical cultural graffiti session last?

The workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on your group's size and the specific package you choose. This gives us plenty of time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of your final piece. We never rush the process, ensuring you have enough time to feel like a real street artist while exploring the vibrant culture of Groningen.

Can you accommodate large groups or corporate events?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you are a small group of friends or a massive corporate team, we can accommodate you. For very large cultural events or festivals in Groningen, we can deploy multiple artists and setup several 'spray zones' to ensure everyone gets a hands-on experience. Just let us know your numbers, and we will tailor the logistics perfectly for your crowd.

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

Rain is just part of the Dutch charm! If the weather looks bad in Groningen, we usually move to one of our covered outdoor spots or an indoor location. We have plenty of backup plans and even backup artists ready to go, so your event will almost never be cancelled. We'll keep you updated leading up to the day to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Local culture

Groningen isn't just a historic university city; it's a living canvas. From the hidden gems in the Ebbingekwartier to the bold murals decorating the city's outskirts, street art is woven into the local DNA. The city's 'niet lullen maar poetsen' (less talk, more action) mentality fits the graffiti world perfectly. You'll find that the local scene is inclusive, experimental, and always evolving.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Groningen was one of the first cities in the Netherlands to embrace large-scale legal graffiti walls? This forward-thinking attitude has turned the city into a pilgrimage site for international artists looking to leave their mark on the Dutch north! 🚲

Pricing

What's the investment?

Our cultural graffiti experiences are priced between €25 and €55 per person. The final price depends on your group size, the duration of the workshop, and whether you want to paint on permanent walls or take-home canvases.

We believe in total transparency and zero stress—that's why we don't ask for a penny upfront. You focus on the art, and we'll handle the logistics.
