Do I need any prior artistic experience to participate?

Absolutely not! Our retreat workshops in Bern are designed for everyone, from total beginners who have never held a spray can to seasoned hobbyists. Our professional artists guide you through every step, starting with basic lines and safety before moving on to more complex techniques. The goal of the retreat is personal expression and team bonding, not artistic perfection. We provide all the guidance you need to leave feeling like a pro.

What should I wear to the graffiti retreat?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, shoe covers, and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy, and paint dust is a crafty traveller! If it's an outdoor session, please dress for the Swiss weather—layers are always a smart choice in Bern’s seasonal climate. Once you're geared up, you'll be ready to paint!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide professional-grade FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you aren't breathing in any fumes, along with protective gloves and suits. We use high-quality spray paint that adheres to safety standards. Our artists also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure the environment is well-ventilated, whether we are working at a legal wall or an indoor studio space.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Standard retreat workshops typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for the intro, sketching, practice, and the final creation of your masterpiece. However, we can easily tailor the duration to fit your specific schedule. If you want a more intensive full-day 'deep dive' or a shorter 90-minute creative blast, just let us know and we’ll adjust the programme to suit your needs.

Can you host the workshop at our specific retreat venue?

We are very flexible! We can host the workshop at one of Bern's designated legal street art zones, or we can bring the retreat to you. If your venue has a suitable outdoor space or a very well-ventilated indoor area, we can set up mobile plastic 'graffiti walls' or use large canvases. This makes it easy to integrate the workshop into your existing retreat location without needing to travel across the city.

What happens if it rains on the day of our Bern workshop?

Bern is beautiful, but the weather can be unpredictable! If we’ve planned an outdoor session and the forecast looks grey, we have several backup options. We can often move to a covered outdoor location or transition the workshop indoors using canvases and specialized low-odour paints. Because we have a team of backup artists, we are very rarely forced to cancel – we’ll find a way to keep the creativity flowing!

How do I book a session and what are the payment terms?

Booking is easy and stress-free. You can start by using our online Cost Calculator or Tag Creator for inspiration. Once you're ready, fill out our contact form or request a quote. We don't require upfront payment; you can pay after the workshop is complete. We’ll discuss your group size, location preferences, and any specific themes you want to explore during your creative retreat in the Swiss capital.

Local culture

Bern might be known for its medieval clock towers and bears, but its modern pulse is pure street art. Areas like the Reitschule and various urban bypasses have long served as canvases for the city's vibrant underground scene. Our workshops tap into this local energy, giving you a taste of the authentic Bernese art culture. We often work near the scenic banks of the Aare or dedicated legal zones that allow for maximum creative freedom without the stress!

Fun fact: Bern is home to one of the longest legal graffiti walls in Switzerland, proving that even a UNESCO World Heritage city knows how to embrace the 'new school' of art!
