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

Absolutely not! Our retreat workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional graffiti artists will guide you through every step, from basic spray can control to advanced layering techniques. By the time we finish, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It’s all about the journey of discovery and having a laugh with your team or friends while learning a brand-new skill.

Is the spray paint safe to use during the workshop?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and full-body overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint and conduct our sessions in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specialized indoor spaces. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a worry-free and creative environment for everyone involved.

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

In Lausanne, we have access to several fantastic covered outdoor locations that allow us to keep the creative energy flowing even if it’s drizzling. If the weather is truly miserable, we can often arrange an indoor setup using low-odour paints or reschedule to a better day. We also have backup artists on standby to ensure your retreat goes ahead as planned no matter what!

How long does a typical creative retreat session last?

Standard retreat workshops typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of a large-scale collaborative mural or individual canvases. If you have a specific schedule to stick to, we can tailor the duration to fit your itinerary perfectly. We find this timeframe is the 'sweet spot' for maximum fun without fatigue.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are extremely flexible! Whether you are a small executive team of 5 or a large department of 100+, we can scale the experience. For larger groups, we bring in additional professional artists to ensure everyone gets hands-on coaching and personal attention. The collaborative nature of graffiti makes it one of the few activities that actually gets more energetic and impressive with larger numbers.

What should we bring with us to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty, just in case. While we provide full protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), it's always best to be prepared. Other than that, just bring your enthusiasm! We provide all the professional spray cans, caps, boards, or canvas materials needed to create your street art masterpiece.

Can we take our artwork home after the session?

Definitely! While we often work on large communal walls for that 'big picture' feel, we can also provide individual canvases. This allows every participant to take their own piece of Lausanne street art home to hang in their office or living room. It’s a fantastic way to keep the memories of the retreat alive long after the paint has dried.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti retreat in the Olympic Capital? Because creativity flourishes when you step outside your comfort zone. Our workshops are designed to break down barriers and foster genuine connection through shared art-making. ✨

Boost team morale: Nothing bonds a group like creating a massive, vibrant mural together from scratch. 🤝
Unlock hidden talents: You'd be surprised who in your office is a secret Banksy in the making!
Stress relief: The rhythmic motion of spraying paint is surprisingly therapeutic and a great way to "vent" creatively. 💨
Permanent memories: Take home a canvas or high-res photos of your work as a lasting reminder of your Lausanne retreat. 📸
Expert guidance: Our artists aren't just talented; they're great teachers who love sharing their passion with others. 🏆
Total flexibility: We can come to your hotel, a public park, or a dedicated street art spot in the city.

Safety and gear up: We’ll get everyone kitted out in protective suits, masks, and gloves so you can stay clean while getting messy.

Sketching the vision: Work with our artists to sketch out your design, whether it's a team logo or a wild abstract mural.
Fill-in and fading: Master the art of the 'fill' and learn how to create smooth colour gradients and 'fades'.
The 'outline': This is where the magic happens! Add the sharp outlines that make your graffiti pop off the wall.
Highlights and details: Add those final 3D effects, 'shines', and 'bits' that give your work a professional edge.

Local culture

Lausanne is a city of layers, where medieval history meets cutting-edge urban design. The Le Flon district is the beating heart of local street culture, a former industrial warehouse area that has transformed into a vibrant hub for art, nightlife, and creativity. Our workshops often draw inspiration from the city's unique topography—the contrast between the blue of the lake and the colourful murals found tucked away in urban corners.

Fun Fact: Did you know Lausanne is built on three hills? This "vertical" city provides amazing natural perspectives that local artists have used for decades to create murals that look different depending on which street level you're standing on! 🎨

In addition to our Lausanne sessions, we are active across the country, hosting events in Zurich, Geneva, Basel, and Bern. No matter where you are in Switzerland, the Graffitifun vibe is never far away.

Pricing
