Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

Not at all! Our Dortmund music festival workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to closet Picassos. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of handling a spray can, from 'fat caps' to 'skinny caps'. We focus on the fun and the vibe of the festival, ensuring you walk away with a piece of art you're actually proud of, regardless of your starting skill level.

What should I wear? Will I get paint on my clothes?

We’ve got you covered! We provide high-quality overalls, gloves, and masks to keep your festival outfit looking fresh. However, graffiti is a messy business, and spray paint can be unpredictable in the wind. We always recommend wearing clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on just in case. Once you're geared up, you're ready to start spraying without a worry!

How long does a typical session last?

A standard festival workshop session usually lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours. This gives us enough time to cover safety, basic techniques, and let you finish a full piece. However, for large festivals in Westfalenpark or near the U-Tower, we often run 'drop-in' style stations where you can contribute to a massive communal mural for 15-20 minutes at a time throughout the day.

Is the spray paint safe to use in a crowded festival?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure no one is inhaling fumes. Our artists are trained in site safety and will ensure the spraying area is well-ventilated and kept at a safe distance from food stalls or main stages. We make sure the environment is fun but strictly professional.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Absolutely! While we love creating large-scale festival murals, we also offer workshops where you create your own individual canvas. We provide carry-bags so you can safely transport your masterpiece back to your tent or home. It’s the ultimate DIY festival souvenir that beats a generic t-shirt any day. Just make sure to let it dry for about 20 minutes before heading back to the mosh pit!

What happens if it rains during the festival?

Rain won't stop the creativity! If the Dortmund weather decides to be typically 'Westphalian', we can set up under professional pop-up gazebos or move the activation to an indoor hall or tent. We always have a 'Plan B' ready because we know the show must go on. Our backup artists also ensure that even if someone gets sick, your workshop will always happen as planned.

Local culture

Dortmund isn't just about football and beer; it's a city with a soul made of steel and street art. From the iconic Dortmunder U—a former brewery turned temple of digital art—to the gritty, creative walls of the Unionviertel, this city breathes urban culture. The local scene is deeply rooted in the industrial heritage of the Ruhrgebiet, where grey walls have been transformed into vibrant canvases by generations of artists. 🎨

Fun Fact: Dortmund is home to some of the longest "legal walls" in Germany, making it a pilgrimage site for graffiti writers from all over Europe! 🚀

When we bring our graffiti workshops to Dortmund festivals, we tap into this local "Malocher" (hard-working) spirit. We don't just spray; we build something together, reflecting the community vibe of the Westfalen region. Whether you're at a festival near the Phoenix See or in the city centre, you'll feel that authentic Dortmund edge in every stroke of the can.

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as flexible as our art. Depending on the size of your festival setup and the number of participants, prices usually range from:

€30 - €65 per person

This includes all materials, pro-artists, and the "fun guarantee". Because every festival in Dortmund has its own unique beat, we recommend getting a tailored package for your specific event.
