Do we need any previous artistic experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our retreat participants have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists in Lille guide you through every step, from basic nozzle control to advanced layering. We create a relaxed, judgment-free environment where the focus is on creative exploration and team bonding rather than technical perfection. You'll be amazed at what you can create by the end of the session!

What should we wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy when the creativity starts flowing! If you're visiting Lille, just dress for the weather as many of our best spots are outdoors or in well-ventilated creative warehouses.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective suits for everyone. Our artists also lead a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We use high-quality spray paint and ensure our workshop locations in Lille are either outdoors or have excellent ventilation systems to keep the air fresh while you work.

How long does a typical retreat workshop last?

A standard creative retreat workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of a large-scale collective mural. We can also customise the duration if you have a tight schedule for your Lille away-day or if you want a more intensive full-day masterclass experience.

Where in Lille do the workshops take place?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexibility. We have access to several iconic legal graffiti spots and creative studios across Lille. However, if you have a specific venue or a private garden in mind, we can often come to you! We'll just need to check the space for ventilation and permissions to ensure everything goes smoothly and safely.

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

Rain won't dampen our spirits! In Lille, we always have a plan B. If the weather looks dodgy, we can move the session to one of our covered locations or indoor creative spaces. Because we have a team of backup artists available, we almost never have to cancel a booking due to unforeseen circumstances. Your creative retreat is in safe hands!

How do I book and when do I need to pay?

Booking is super easy and honest. You don't need to pay anything upfront! Simply reach out via our contact form to check availability for your preferred date in Lille. Once we've confirmed the details and group size, your spot is reserved. You only pay after the workshop is complete, ensuring you are 100% happy with the experience.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti retreat in the capital of Flanders? Because traditional workshops are so last season! Stepping out of your comfort zone and onto the street art scene is the best way to spark innovation and real connection. Here is why Lille is the perfect spot for your creative escape:

Break the mould: Get away from screens and flip charts and into a world of vibrant colour.
Unity through art: Collab on a single mural that proves your team is greater than the sum of its parts.
Stress relief: There’s something incredibly therapeutic about the 'hiss' of a spray can—it's the ultimate de-stresser!
Accessible to all: You don't need to be Van Gogh; if you can hold a can, you can create magic.
Professional vibe: Our artists aren't just talented; they're great teachers who keep the energy high and the vibes positive.
Lasting memories: Unlike a boring dinner, you'll be talking about that mural you painted for years to come.

Step by step

Warm welcome: Meet your pro graffiti artist at our Lille creative hub for a quick intro and some inspiration.
Design session: Grab some paper and markers to sketch out your initial ideas and collective themes.
Gear up: Get fitted with your protective overalls, gloves, and professional masks for a safe experience.
Can control: Learn the basics of spray painting—how to hold the can, swap nozzles, and create different line widths.
Technique practice: Head to the wall to practice fades, fills, and those all-important outlines.
The Big Mural: Work together on a massive collective project, combining everyone's unique style into one masterpiece.
Final touches: Add highlights, 3D effects, and 'force fields' to make your artwork really pop.
Photo op: Strike a pose in front of your finished work for the ultimate team photo.
Wrap up: Reflect on the creative process over a final chat before heading off with your new skills.

Local culture

Lille isn't just about beautiful cathedrals and delicious waffles; it's a city with a heart of spray-painted gold! From the vibrant murals in the Wazemmes district to the ever-evolving walls of the Hellemmes area, street art is woven into the very fabric of the city. Lille’s history as an industrial powerhouse has left behind incredible brick canvases that local artists have transformed into an open-air gallery.

Fun Fact: Lille is home to the 'Biennale d'Art Urbain', a massive celebration of street art that brings world-class artists to the city's walls every few years!

During your retreat, you'll tap into this local energy. We often host our sessions near famous legal spots like the 'Gare Saint-Sauveur', allowing you to soak up the authentic atmosphere of the Lille art community while you create. It’s about more than just paint; it’s about connecting with the urban soul of the north.
