Is doing graffiti at a festival in Basel legal?

Absolutely! While Basel has specific rules about street art, our music festival workshops are fully permitted. We coordinate with organisers to ensure every spray is legal and safe. We provide all the gear, so you get the thrill of using real spray cans without any of the legal worries, all while soaking up the festival vibes.

Do we need to provide our own spray cans or gear?

Yes, we bring everything to the site. From high-quality spray cans in every colour imaginable to protective suits, gloves, and respiratory masks, you don't need to bring a thing. We even handle the floor protection to ensure the festival grounds stay clean. Just bring your creativity and some clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on.

What is the maximum group size for a festival workshop?

We can work with almost any group size. For large music festivals in Basel, we often run 'walk-in' sessions where hundreds of people contribute to a massive mural over the weekend. For private group bookings within a festival, we generally recommend groups of 10 to 30 people per artist to ensure everyone gets enough hands-on guidance.

How do you ensure safety during a busy music festival?

Safety is our top priority. We provide professional-grade masks and gloves for every participant. Our artists are experienced in managing crowds and ensuring that spray cans are used responsibly. We also ensure the workshop area is well-ventilated, which is usually easy at Basel's outdoor summer festivals. We're fully insured for your peace of mind.

Do I need to have an artistic background to join?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to closet creatives. Our professional artists will show you the basic techniques, from 'fat caps' to 'can control,' in just a few minutes. You'll be surprised at how quickly you can create something that looks professional and fits the Basel street art aesthetic perfectly.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Standard sessions usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. However, for festivals, we are totally flexible. We can run short 30-minute 'taster' sessions or keep the workshop running all day as a continuous live art installation. We'll tailor the timing to match the setlist and the flow of your specific event in Basel.

What happens if the festival schedule changes?

We understand that festival planning is unpredictable. That’s why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy and have backup artists on standby. If your schedule shifts or things change on the day, we work with you to make it happen. You only pay once the spray paint has dried and you’re 100% happy with the result.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Basel festival? It’s more than just paint on a wall—it’s an unforgettable memory for your guests. Here’s why it works:

Interactive Engagement: It turns passive spectators into active creators, giving them a break from the mosh pit to express themselves.
Social Media Magnet: Huge, colourful murals are the ultimate 'Instagrammable' background, ensuring your festival trends online.
Professional Guidance: Learn from the best artists in the business who know how to keep things fun and fast-paced.
Zero Risk Booking: With our pay-after-the-event policy and backup artists, your festival's entertainment is in safe hands.
All-Inclusive Setup: From the cans to the coveralls, we handle all the logistics so you can focus on the music.
Perfect for Basel: Connect with the city's deep-rooted artistic heritage in a way that’s modern, fresh, and exciting.

Step by step

Initial vibe check: You reach out with your festival dates and Basel location. We discuss the scale, the musical theme, and how many festival-goers you want to involve.
Design and concept: Our artists sketch out a concept that matches your festival's brand. Whether it's psychedelic, hip-hop, or indie-themed, we create a layout that pops.
Setting the stage: We arrive at the Basel festival site early to set up mobile walls, protective ground covering, and our massive 'wall of colour' spray can station.
Safety briefing: Every participant gets kitted out in protective gear. We explain how to use the cans safely while keeping the energy high.
Technique demo: Our pros show off the basics—outline work, filling, and how to create those iconic 3D effects that make street art stand out.
Hands-on spraying: The music is pumping, and now it’s your turn. Guided by our artists, participants start adding their mark to the collaborative Basel festival mural.
Refining the masterpiece: As the day goes on, our artists add professional 'cuts' and outlines to pull the crowd's work together into a polished piece of art.
The big reveal: The finished mural remains on display for the rest of the festival, providing the perfect Instagram backdrop for attendees.
No-stress wrap up: We handle the entire pack-down, leaving the site exactly as we found it. You only pay once the workshop is successfully completed.

Local culture

Basel is a city that breathes art, from the world-renowned Art Basel to the vibrant murals tucked away in the Kleinbasel district. There’s a sophisticated yet edgy creative pulse here that makes it the perfect backdrop for a graffiti experience. When the music starts playing at venues near the Rhine or across the city's festival fields, the atmosphere is electric. Our workshops tap into this local 'Basler' spirit, blending the city's high-art reputation with its gritty, urban underground. We don't just paint; we celebrate the culture that makes Basel the cultural capital of Switzerland, ensuring your festival event feels like an authentic part of the local street art landscape.

Pricing

Our festival workshop packages are designed to be as flexible as your line-up. Prices typically range from CHF40 to CHF85 per person, depending on the number of participants, the amount of paint required, and the duration of the setup. Because every festival in Basel is unique, we prefer to give you a bespoke price that fits your budget perfectly.
