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

Absolutely no experience is needed! Our creative retreat workshops in Galway are designed for everyone, from complete beginners to those with a bit of artistic flair. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, from how to hold the spray can to advanced layering techniques. It’s all about letting loose, having a laugh, and discovering a new way to express your personal style in a relaxed environment.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. We typically host our Galway workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designed indoor spaces. Our professional instructors will give a full safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring a fun and worry-free creative experience for your entire group.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we do provide full protective gear, including suits and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy! Think 'festival casual'—something that allows you to move freely while you’re working on your masterpiece. In the West of Ireland, it’s always a good idea to bring an extra layer just in case!

What happens if it rains or an artist is sick?

We’ve got you covered! We usually have backup artists ready to step in, so your retreat isn't ruined by a last-minute artist emergency. If the Galway weather takes a turn for the worse, we can often relocate to a covered outdoor spot or an indoor venue. We pride ourselves on being flexible and reliable because we know how important your group getaway is. Your creative session is in safe hands.

How long does a typical retreat session last?

Our standard creative retreat workshops usually last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, some practice on the walls, and the creation of your final individual or group piece. If you’re looking for a more intensive 'deep dive' experience as part of a longer wellness retreat, just let us know! We can tailor the duration to fit your specific itinerary.

What is the minimum or maximum group size?

We are extremely flexible! Whether you’re a small group of friends on a weekend getaway or a larger corporate team looking for a creative escape, we can accommodate you. Generally, we work with groups starting from 5-10 people, but there is no real upper limit for larger events. We’ll adjust the number of professional artists on-site to ensure everyone gets plenty of personal guidance and hands-on time.

Local culture

Galway isn't just a city; it’s a living, breathing canvas. From the colourful shopfronts of the Latin Quarter to the bohemian vibes of the West End, creativity is everywhere. The city is famous for its festivals and street performers, making it the perfect backdrop for a graffiti retreat. You might spot local murals tucked away in the side streets off Shop Street or adorning the walls near the Spanish Arch. 🎨

Fun Fact: Galway was the European Capital of Culture in 2020, and it has one of the highest concentrations of artists per capita in Ireland. The 'Tribal City' is deeply rooted in storytelling, and street art is just the latest chapter in that long history!

Participating in a workshop here means becoming part of that artistic lineage. You’ll soak up the salty Atlantic air and the infectious energy of the city while you spray. It’s an authentic Galway experience that goes way beyond the typical tourist trail.
