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

Absolutely no experience is required! Our Coimbra retreat workshops 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 lettering before moving on to complex techniques. We focus on the process and the joy of creation, ensuring everyone leaves with a piece of art they are proud of. It’s all about having fun and trying something new!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for participants?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paints and conduct our sessions in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially prepared indoor spaces. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before the workshop begins, ensuring a secure and enjoyable environment for all participants to experiment and create without worry.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard creative retreat session in Coimbra typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for an introduction to street art history, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your masterpiece. If you are looking for a more intensive experience, we can extend the duration or spread the activities over a full day as part of a larger retreat programme.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes a wide array of colourful spray cans, caps for different line widths, protective clothing (overalls, gloves, and masks), and the canvases or surfaces you'll be painting on. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on and bring your creative energy!

Where in Coimbra do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible with locations! We can host the workshop at a dedicated street art spot in Coimbra, or if your retreat is being held at a specific hotel, villa, or event space, we can bring the 'mobile studio' to you. As long as there is an appropriate outdoor area or a very well-ventilated space, we can set up our professional graffiti station almost anywhere in the city.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

Our retreat workshops are highly scalable. We can accommodate small, intimate groups of 5-10 people looking for a deep creative dive, or much larger groups of up to 100+ participants for corporate retreats or festivals. For larger groups, we bring in additional professional artists and set up multiple stations to ensure everyone gets personal attention and plenty of time with the spray cans.

Can you organise this for a corporate team building event?

We love working with businesses! While this page focuses on retreats, we offer tailored packages for company events, team building, and brand activations in Coimbra. Street art is a fantastic way to foster collaboration and boost morale. We can even help your team create a large-scale mural that reflects your company values. Contact us for a bespoke B2B quote!

Local culture

Coimbra is a city where history meets a youthful spirit, thanks to its world-famous university. While the city is known for its medieval architecture and the haunting melodies of Fado, its modern walls are increasingly becoming a canvas for urban expression. The Contrast between the 13th-century stone walls and vibrant contemporary murals creates a visual dialogue unlike anywhere else in Portugal. During our retreat, we draw inspiration from the city's poetic 'Saudade' and the energetic street life of the Queima das Fitas. 🎨

Fun fact: Coimbra is home to the 'Escada de Minerva' (Minerva Stairs), but did you know that hidden in the alleys surrounding the old university, you can find subtle 'stencils' and tags that represent the student movements of decades past?

Pricing

Our workshop prices are designed to be accessible while ensuring top-tier quality and professional guidance. Rates generally range from €20 to €45 per person. The final price depends on your specific group size, the venue choice, and the duration of the session. We believe in transparency and value, so you’ll never find hidden fees!

Because every retreat is unique, we recommend reaching out for a personalised offer. Request a custom quote today to get the best price for your Coimbra experience! 🏆
