Do we need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our retreat workshops in Basel are designed for everyone, from total novices to closet creatives. Our professional artists guide you through every step, starting with basic lines and shapes before moving on to shading and fills. We focus on the joy of creation rather than technical perfection, ensuring everyone leaves feeling like a street art legend. You'll be surprised at what you can achieve in just a few hours with the right guidance.

What kind of protective gear do you provide?

Safety and comfort are our top priorities. We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks to keep your clothes clean and your lungs protected. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes and old clothes underneath just in case. Our spray paints are selected for their quality and ease of use, ensuring a professional finish even for beginners. We handle all the setup and cleanup, so you can focus entirely on the creative process.

How long does a typical street art retreat session last?

Our retreat workshops typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe provides the perfect balance—it's long enough to dive deep into the techniques and finish a complex piece, but short enough to keep the energy levels high. We can easily adapt the duration to fit your retreat schedule, whether you want a quick morning 'energiser' or a full-afternoon immersive experience. We ensure every participant finishes their masterpiece within the session.

Where in Basel do the workshops take place?

We are highly mobile! We can host the workshop at various outdoor legal graffiti walls across Basel, or we can bring the experience to your retreat venue. If your hotel or seminar centre has an outdoor area, we can set up temporary canvas walls or use large cellophane 'urban walls' that leave zero mess behind. This flexibility allows us to integrate seamlessly into your existing retreat itinerary without requiring extra travel for your group.

What happens if it rains on the day of our retreat?

Rain doesn't have to stop the fun. If the weather looks dodgy, we have several options. We can move to covered outdoor locations, use indoor-safe water-based spray paints if the venue allows, or reschedule the session using our backup artist network. Because we don't require upfront payments, we can be much more flexible with last-minute adjustments than other providers, ensuring your retreat isn't dampened by a bit of Swiss rain.

How much does a retreat workshop cost?

Prices in Basel typically range from CHF40 to CHF85 per person. This variation depends on the size of your group, the duration of the workshop, and the specific materials or travel requirements. We believe in transparency and providing value, which is why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy. For a precise figure tailored to your specific retreat needs, we recommend using our online cost calculator or requesting a custom quote.

Can we create one big piece of art together as a group?

Definitely! Creative retreats are all about connection. While everyone gets to work on their own style, we often facilitate large-scale collaborative pieces where the whole group contributes to a single, massive mural. This is a fantastic way to symbolise shared goals or shared memories from your time in Basel. Our artists are experts at managing these collaborative projects to ensure the final result looks cohesive, professional, and absolutely stunning.

Local culture

Basel is a city of contrasts, where medieval charm meets the cutting-edge aesthetic of Art Basel. While many tourists flock to the Kunstmuseum, the real pulse of the city can be felt at the Uferstrasse or along the railway corridors where the local street art scene thrives. Our workshops tap into this 'Urban Basel' vibe, offering a bridge between the city's prestigious art history and its modern underground culture. We love showing people that creativity isn't just for 'artists'—it's for everyone with a spray can and a vision.

🎨 Fun Fact: Did you know Basel is home to one of Switzerland's oldest legal graffiti walls? The legendary 'Linie' has seen decades of shifting styles and serves as a living gallery for Europe's finest street artists.

Pricing

Our retreat workshops are tailored to your group's specific needs. Prices generally range from CHF40 to CHF85 per person, including all professional materials and gear.

Please note that total costs depend on the number of participants, the location, and whether you'd like to work on individual canvases or a giant shared mural.
