I have zero artistic talent, can I still participate?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Lugano have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques like shading and highlights. You will be amazed at what you can create in just a couple of hours with the right guidance and a bit of Swiss inspiration!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to create a masterpiece. This includes a wide range of premium spray paint colours, high-quality caps for different line thicknesses, protective gloves, and masks. Depending on the event setup, we also provide canvases or large wooden boards. We recommend wearing old clothes and shoes just in case, though our protective gear covers the basics. Just bring your energy and creativity!

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard workshop for a cultural event in Lugano typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows for an introduction to the history of street art, a safety briefing, practice sessions, and the final creation of your artwork. We can also adapt the timing for larger festivals or brand activations where people might want to drop in and out throughout the day.

Where in Lugano do the workshops take place?

We are incredibly flexible with locations! We can host workshops at various outdoor spots with permission, or we can bring mobile walls to your specific event venue in Lugano. Whether it's a park, a schoolyard, or a corporate courtyard, we ensure the set-up is safe and follows local regulations. If you don't have a spot in mind, we can help find the perfect location for you.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-solvent or water-based spray paints where possible and provide all necessary protective equipment, including FFP2 or FFP3 masks and gloves. Our instructors are professional artists who manage the group to ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly. We also ensure proper ventilation if we are working in a semi-covered area, keeping the environment safe for all ages.

What is the minimum age for participants?

Our workshops are perfect for almost anyone! We generally recommend a minimum age of 6 or 8 years old so that the children have the hand strength to press the spray caps. For cultural events, we often see a mix of teenagers, adults, and seniors all working together. It’s a fantastic intergenerational activity that bridges gaps through the universal language of art and creativity.

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

Lugano’s weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. If the forecast looks rainy, we can often move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or use an indoor space with proper ventilation and floor protection. Because we have a team of backup artists, we are very reliable—we rarely ever cancel. We’ll work with you to ensure the event goes ahead rain or shine!

The tag creator: Before we hit the wall, you'll sketch out your ideas. Use our digital Tag Creator tool beforehand to get some inspiration for your design!

Outline and fill: Time to start your masterpiece! You'll sketch your design on the canvas or wall and start layering in your favourite colours.
Shading and 3D: This is where the magic happens. We’ll teach you how to add shadows and highlights to make your graffiti pop right off the surface.
The finishing touches: Add sharp outlines and "force lines" to give your work that professional, polished street art look.

Local culture

Lugano isn't just about high-end watches and stunning lakeside vistas; it has a pulse of modern creativity that beats through its Mediterranean-style streets. While the city is famous for the LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura, the street art scene adds a raw, contemporary layer to the local identity. You can find impressive murals tucked away in the city’s residential districts and near the university areas, blending Swiss precision with an Italian-influenced artistic flair. 🎨

Fun fact: Did you know Lugano holds the "Street Art Tour," which showcases how the city transformed grey walls into public galleries? It's the perfect atmosphere to get inspired for your own workshop!

Coming from other major Swiss hubs? We also host events in Zurich, Geneva, Basel, and Bern. No matter where you are in Switzerland, the Graffitifun crew is ready to roll.
