Is it safe to have spray paint near food stalls?

Absolutely! We use high-quality, low-odour water-based spray paint for our festival activations. These are much more pleasant for environments where food is being served and consumed. We also provide protective gear for anyone getting close to the canvas. Our team ensures the workspace stays tidy and contained, so the only thing 'artistic' is the masterpiece we're creating together!

What happens if it rains during the food festival?

Lugano's weather can be a bit unpredictable, but the fun doesn't have to stop! We usually set up under a professional gazebo or within a festival tent. If the weather turns particularly Swiss, we can easily move our mobile walls to a covered area. We always have a 'plan B' to ensure your festival entertainment remains a highlight, rain or shine.

How long does a typical festival workshop session last?

Our festival workshops are designed for speed and engagement. A typical session for a participant can last anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes, allowing hundreds of people to contribute throughout the day. However, we can also offer longer, deep-dive sessions if your festival schedule allows for more dedicated creative time. We're totally flexible to your event's rhythm!

Do visitors need any artistic experience to participate?

No prior talent required! Our professional artists specialize in making everyone look like a pro. We use clever techniques like stencilling, tape-art, and 'ghost outlines' to guide participants. Most people are shocked at how good their work looks after just a few minutes of guidance. It’s all about the experience and having a blast!

What materials do you provide for the workshop?

We bring everything! This includes a huge range of spray paint colours, various nozzle sizes (caps), protective gloves, ponchos, and our own mobile graffiti walls or canvases. We even bring the inspiration! You only need to provide the space and the crowd. We handle the setup and the cleanup, leaving you to focus on the tasty treats.

Can we choose a specific theme for the graffiti art?

Of course! We love a good theme. Whether your festival is focused on Italian pasta, local Ticino wines, or vegan street food, we can pre-sketch a themed design that reflects your brand or event. It makes the final artwork even more meaningful for the community and looks fantastic in social media photos.

How much does it cost to hire an artist for a day?

While we focus on the experience, we believe in fair pricing. In Lugano, costs typically range from CHF 40 to CHF 85 per person, depending on the scale and duration of the event. We offer special day rates for large festivals and multi-day bookings. Since every project is unique, we recommend getting a custom quote for the most accurate pricing.

Clean and clear: We pack everything up quickly and leave the site exactly as we found it—except for the amazing memories!

Local culture

Lugano isn't just about banks and boutiques; it has a soul that beats with art and culture. From the sophisticated LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura to the hidden gems in the surrounding districts, the city loves a good creative project. Bringing a graffiti workshop to a food festival here perfectly blends the traditional Ticino 'Dolce Vita' with a modern, urban edge. It’s where the Mediterranean flair of the south meets the rebellious spirit of street art.

Fun Fact: Did you know Lugano is often called the "Monte Carlo of Switzerland"? While things can be fancy, the city's youth and creative scene are constantly pushing for more public art spaces, making graffiti the perfect bridge between the two worlds! 🎨

Pricing

Our Lugano food festival workshops are competitively priced to suit various event scales:

CHF 40 – CHF 85 per person

*Prices vary based on group size, duration, and specific customisation requirements.

We believe in total transparency and flexibility—there's no upfront payment required, and you only pay after the masterpiece is finished!
