Do we need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely not! Our Mechelen retreat workshops are designed for everyone, from CEOs who haven't picked up a brush since primary school to seasoned hobbyists. Our professional artists guide you through every step, starting with basic can control and ending with a piece of art you'll be proud to show off. The goal is to relax, have fun, and discover a new way of expressing yourself.

What should we wear to the graffiti retreat?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little 'colourful'. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, shoe covers, and gloves, spray paint has a way of finding its way to unexpected places! If you're visiting Mechelen specifically for the workshop, maybe save your designer outfit for dinner at the Grote Markt afterwards.

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

We are always ready! We have access to several fantastic indoor locations in and around Mechelen where the creativity can flow regardless of the Belgian weather. If you've booked an outdoor session and the clouds open up, we'll coordinate with you to move to a covered area or an indoor studio so your retreat remains a dry and enjoyable experience.

Is the spray paint safe to use during the session?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade FFP3 masks to ensure no one breathes in fumes, along with gloves and protective gear. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas. Our instructors provide a full safety briefing before any cans are shaken, ensuring a secure environment for all retreat participants to explore their creative side without worry.

How long does a typical retreat workshop session last?

A standard creative retreat workshop usually lasts between 2 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for the introduction, technique practice, and the creation of a final masterpiece. However, we can easily customise the duration to fit your Mechelen itinerary. If you want a deeper dive into street art history or a longer collaborative mural session, just let us know!

How far in advance do we need to book our Mechelen workshop?

We try to be as flexible as possible to accommodate your retreat planning. While we recommend booking 2-4 weeks in advance to ensure your preferred date and artist are available, we often have backup artists ready for last-minute requests. If you have a spontaneous urge to create art in Mechelen, give us a shout and we'll do our best to make it happen!

Local culture

Mechelen is a city that beautifully balances its medieval heritage with a modern, edgy soul. While many know it for the towering St. Rumbold's Cathedral, the city has quietly become a haven for urban art lovers. The 'Mechelen Muurt' project has brought world-class murals to the city's streets, proving that art is more than just museum pieces—it's a living part of the community. In this inspiring environment, your retreat workshop becomes more than just an activity; it's an immersion into Mechelen's evolving cultural identity.

Fun Fact: Mechelen is known as the 'Moonblazers' (Maneblussers). Legend says in 1687, locals thought the moon glowing behind the St. Rumbold's tower was a fire and tried to extinguish it! Today, we use that same passion to ignite sparks of creativity rather than putting them out.

Beyond the workshop, you can explore other Belgian art hubs like Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, or Charleroi to see how the street art scene differs across the country.

Pricing

Our graffiti retreat workshops in Mechelen are priced competitively to ensure high-quality art experiences are accessible to everyone. We believe in transparency and value, with no hidden costs and no upfront payment required.
