Do I need to have any prior artistic experience or drawing skills?

Our retreat workshops are designed specifically for beginners! Most participants have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists guide you through every step, from basic line work to complex blending techniques. By the time the session ends, you’ll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. We focus on the journey and the creative release rather than technical perfection, making it the perfect stress-free activity for everyone.

Is the workshop safe and what protective gear is provided?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use specialized low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and emit fewer fumes. All sessions are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. Our experienced instructors provide a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a worry-free environment for your group.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day of our retreat?

Nanjing is known for its beautiful parks and historic corners, but if the weather doesn't play ball, we have you covered. We can arrange indoor venues with proper ventilation or use temporary structures to keep the rain off. Thanks to our local network, we always have a backup plan ready. Plus, we never cancel—we have backup artists on standby to ensure your retreat goes ahead as planned.

How long does a typical graffiti retreat session last?

A typical creative retreat workshop in Nanjing lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the final creation of your large-scale mural or individual canvases. If you have a specific schedule to stick to, we can tailor the timing to fit your retreat itinerary—just let us know what works for you!

What is included in the workshop package?

We bring everything! Your booking includes premium spray paint in a huge range of colours, caps/nozzles for different effects, protective clothing, and the 'canvas' (which could be a wall, a board, or even individual items). We also provide professional tuition and a vibrant, energetic atmosphere. All you need to bring is your group’s enthusiasm and a willingness to try something totally new!

Can we choose a specific theme or message for our graffiti art?

Absolutely! We love it when groups want to incorporate a specific theme, company values, or a personal message into their art. Our artists can pre-sketch a concept or help your group brainstorm a design that reflects your retreat's goals. Whether it’s 'Mindfulness', 'Innovation', or just 'Team Power', we’ll help you translate those ideas into a stunning visual format.

What is the minimum and maximum group size for a workshop?

Nanjing is a fantastic hub for creative retreats, and we can host anything from boutique groups of 5 to large corporate gatherings of over 100 people. For very large groups, we bring in additional artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention and plenty of 'can time'. We scale our materials and instructors according to your numbers to keep the energy high and the experience intimate.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti retreat in Nanjing? 🎨

Nanjing isn't just about history; it's a city of incredible hidden creative potential. A graffiti retreat here offers a unique way to step out of the office mindset and into a world of limitless colour. Here is why it’s a total game-changer:

Total creative freedom: Forget spreadsheets—today, the city is your playground. We help you unleash ideas you didn't even know you had! 🚀
Bespoke local artists: Work with professional Nanjing-based artists who bring local techniques and authentic street style to your session.
Zero pressure environment: Our workshops are 100% beginner-friendly. We focus on the fun and the "wow" factor, not technical perfection.
Unity through art: Nothing bonds a group like co-creating a giant, colourful mural. It’s the ultimate collaborative task. 🤝
Stress relief: There is something incredibly therapeutic about the hiss of a spray can and seeing your ideas appear in giant format.
Peace of mind: With backup artists always on call and no upfront payment, your retreat planning is totally risk-free. 💪

Step by step

Initial consultation: We chat about your retreat goals, group size, and any specific themes you want to explore in Nanjing.
Concept design: Our artists help you brainstorm a visual concept that aligns with your retreat's spirit or corporate values.
Set-up & safety: We arrive early to prep the site with protective flooring and set up all the gear, including masks and overalls for everyone.
Skills briefing: Your group gets a crash course in spray can handling, from 'fat caps' for filling to 'skinny caps' for fine details.
Practice run: Everyone gets a chance to doodle and get a feel for the pressure and flow of the paint on a practice surface.
Mural creation: The main event! Your group works together (or in teams) to bring your big creative vision to life on the wall.
The final flourish: Our pro artists help with the 'outlining' and highlights to make your collective artwork really pop.
Photos & celebration: We capture the moment with group photos in front of your finished masterpiece before we pack everything away.

Local culture

The street art soul of the Southern Capital

Nanjing is a city where ancient walls meet modern ambition, and that contrast makes it a playground for street art. While the city is famous for its massive Ming dynasty city walls, there is a pulse of contemporary urban culture growing in districts like Xuanwu and Qixia. Our retreats tap into this "Old meets New" energy, allowing your group to contribute to Nanjing's evolving visual story. We love setting up in the creative hubs popping up in repurposed industrial spaces across the city.

Fun fact: Nanjing's name literally means "Southern Capital," but today it's also becoming a capital for creative innovation in East China!

From the peaceful vibes of the Gulin Park area to the academic energy surrounding the local universities, Nanjing has a unique atmosphere that encourages reflection and bold moves—exactly what a retreat should be about. If you've already explored Shanghai or Beijing, you'll find Nanjing offers a more intimate, yet equally powerful creative scene. 🔥
