Do we need any previous art experience to join a retreat?

Absolutely! Our Johannesburg retreat workshops are designed specifically for beginners. We start with the basics of spray can handling and safety before moving on to technique. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before, but by the end of the session, they are always amazed at the high-quality mural they’ve helped create. Our professional artists are there to guide you every step of the way.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need for a legendary day out in Jozi. This includes high-quality spray paint in a variety of vibrant colours, protective gear like gloves and masks, and the canvases or wall space. We even bring the inspiration! You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on, as things can get messy when the creativity starts flowing.

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

Johannesburg weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. We have access to several amazing indoor industrial spaces and covered outdoor areas across the city. If the weather doesn't play along, we can easily move the retreat to one of our backup indoor locations or reschedule to a time that works better for your group. Your creative experience is our priority.

Can you host the workshop at our own venue in Joburg?

We are very flexible! While we have several 'street-cred' locations around Maboneng and Newtown, we can also bring the mobile graffiti retreat to your specific venue, hotel, or office park in Joburg. As long as there is adequate ventilation and space for our setup, we can transform almost any spot into a temporary street art studio for your team to enjoy.

How long does a typical graffiti retreat session last?

A standard creative retreat workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, skills training, and the final collaborative masterpiece. However, we can also offer extended full-day 'deep dive' sessions or shorter 90-minute 'ice breaker' versions depending on your schedule and what you want to achieve with your group in the City of Gold.

Is the spray paint safe to use during the workshop?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 masks and nitrile gloves to all participants. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas to ensure everyone breathes easy. Furthermore, our lead artists are trained in safety protocols and will provide a comprehensive briefing before anyone presses a nozzle. We make sure the environment is fun, relaxed, and completely safe for everyone involved.

How does the booking and payment process work?

No upfront payment is required when you book! We believe in the quality of our Jozi experiences, so you only pay after the workshop is completed. This keeps things stress-free for organizers. We also have a pool of backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation. We make the booking process as smooth as the paint on a fresh wall.
