Do I need any previous art experience to join the retreat?

Absolutely not! Our retreat workshops in Bilbao are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic can control and moving up to more complex techniques. Most of our guests have never held a spray can before they arrive, but they all leave with a piece of art they're proud of. It's about the process and the fun, not just the final result!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a complete creative experience. This includes professional-grade spray paint in a wide rainbow of colours, protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or practice walls, sketches, and all necessary caps. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and wear some comfortable 'old' shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty while you work!

Is the spray paint safe to use during the session?

Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to protect you from fumes, as well as disposable gloves and protective suits. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas, often outdoors or in spacious industrial halls. Our professional artists are trained to supervise the sessions closely, ensuring that everyone uses the equipment correctly and stays safe throughout the creative process. It is a very safe and controlled environment.

Can I take my masterpiece home with me?

Yes! In a retreat setting, you usually get to create a personalised piece on a high-quality canvas or board that you can take home with you once it’s dry. If we are working on a larger communal mural as part of a team-building retreat, you’ll have plenty of photos and memories of the masterpiece. For individual pieces, we’ll make sure they are packed safely so you can display your Bilbao street art in your own home.

What happens if I need to cancel or change my booking?

We understand that plans can change, especially when organising retreats. That’s why we offer a very flexible booking policy. You don't have to pay anything upfront; you only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. If you need to reschedule or cancel, just let us know as soon as possible. We also have backup artists available to ensure your event always goes ahead, providing peace of mind for your Bilbao trip.

How long does a typical retreat workshop last?

The duration is flexible depending on your retreat schedule, but typically these creative intensives last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for a thorough introduction, technique practice, and the final creation of your artwork. If you have a larger group or want a more in-depth masterclass experience, we can easily extend the session to fit your needs. We move at a pace that ensures everyone feels relaxed and inspired.

Local culture

Bilbao is a city that lives and breathes transformation. Once a heavy industrial port, it has reinvented itself as a global capital of design and architecture. Street art plays a massive role in this evolution, with stunning murals found in districts like Zorrozaurre and the narrow streets of the Casco Viejo. Our retreat workshops tap into this unique energy, drawing inspiration from the juxtaposition of the futuristic Guggenheim and the raw, urban textures of the riverfront.

Fun Bilbao Fact: Did you know that Bilbao's street art scene is so respected that the city often commissions international artists to turn grey bridge pillars into colourful landmarks? Keep an eye out for the giant murals near the La Salve bridge! 🏗️

By joining a workshop here, you aren't just spraying paint; you're participating in the ongoing story of a city that uses art to speak its mind. Whether we are working near the riverside or in an edgy indoor studio, you'll feel the pulse of Bilbao in every stroke of your spray can.

Pricing

We believe in transparent pricing and high-value experiences. Our creative retreat workshops in Bilbao are competitively priced to ensure as many people as possible can experience the joy of street art.

Typical price: €25 - €50 per person

*Note: Final prices depend on your group size, location choice, and any specific customisations you'd like to add to your retreat.

The best part? No upfront payment is required. You only pay once the workshop is complete and you're 100% happy with the experience. We're all about trust and making sure you have the best time possible! ✨
