Do we need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Our retreat workshops in Nizhny Novgorod are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through every single step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering advanced layering techniques. You don't need to be 'artistic' to have a blast and create something you're proud of. We focus on the process and the joy of creating together in a relaxed, supportive environment.

Is the workshop safe and what should we wear?

The safety of our participants is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including professional-grade FFP3 masks, gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas, and our instructors are trained to manage group safety. We use premium spray paints that meet European safety standards, ensuring a fun and worry-free experience for everyone involved.

Can the workshop take place at our chosen retreat venue?

We are incredibly flexible! While we have amazing partner locations in Nizhny Novgorod, including creative hubs and outdoor spaces with legal walls, we can also come to you. If your retreat venue has an appropriate outdoor space or a very well-ventilated hall, we can set up our mobile 'graffiti wall' and bring the entire street art experience directly to your doorstep.

How long does a typical retreat workshop last?

A standard creative retreat session 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 masterpiece. However, we can easily customise the duration to fit your specific itinerary—whether you want a quick 90-minute energy boost or a full-day immersive art deep-dive.

What exactly is included in the workshop package?

We provide everything! Your booking includes all the premium spray paint you'll need, a wide variety of nozzle 'caps' for different effects, high-end protective equipment, and the canvas or wall surface. We also bring inspiration materials and sketches to help get the creative juices flowing. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and perhaps some old shoes you don't mind getting a little dusty!

What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor session?

Rain won't dampen our spirits! For outdoor sessions in Nizhny, we always have a 'Plan B.' This might involve moving to a covered outdoor area, using a ventilated indoor space, or rescheduling if the weather is truly extreme. Because we have a large pool of professional artists and backup experts, we are very resilient to changes and rarely have to cancel an event.

Can we take our artwork home with us?

Definitely! Many groups choose to create one massive collaborative mural that represents their shared goals or values. Alternatively, everyone can work on their own individual canvases that can be taken home as a souvenir. In Nizhny Novgorod, we often suggest a mix: start with individual practice and finish with a huge 'group tag' or themed piece that everyone contributes to.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti-themed retreat workshop in this stunning river-side city? It’s about more than just paint on a wall—it’s about a total shift in mindset. Here is why our sessions are the highlight of any Nizhny trip:

🔥 Complete creative liberation: There are no mistakes in graffiti, only 'happy accidents' that lead to new ideas.
🤝 Unbeatable bonding: Nothing brings a team together like collaborating on a massive, vibrant mural.
🧠 Mental reset: The focused, tactile nature of spray painting is incredibly meditative and great for stress relief.
🏆 Professional guidance: Our artists are the best in the business, ensuring your group actually learns real skills.
🌍 Versatile locations: From the slopes of the Kremlin to the modern zones near the stadium, we find the perfect spot.
📸 Epic memories: You’ll end the day with incredible photos and a physical reminder of what you can achieve together.

Step by step

Warm-up & inspiration: We start with a brief history of street art and a look at Nizhny's local mural scene to get your team inspired.
Gear up: Safety first! Everyone gets fitted with professional masks, gloves, and protective suits so you can paint without worry.
Can control basics: Our artists demonstrate the fundamental 'can control' techniques, including lines, dots, and how to avoid the dreaded drips.
Concept sketching: Grab a marker and map out your ideas on the wall or paper. This is where your retreat theme starts to take visual shape.
First layers: Start filling in your shapes with bold colours. This is the 'messy' phase where the energy really starts to pick up!
Outline & detail: Learn how to use 'skinny caps' to add crisp outlines and fine details that make the artwork pop.
Highlights & effects: Discover the secrets of highlights, shadows, and 'cuts' to give your work that professional 3D street art look.
The big reveal: Step back as a group to admire the finished masterpiece. It’s the perfect moment for a group photo!
Debrief & chill: Wrap up the session with a relaxed chat about the creative process and the symbols you've painted.

Good to know

Planning a retreat can be stressful, but we make the creative part easy. Here’s what you need to know about setting up your session in Nizhny:

Local culture

Nizhny Novgorod isn't just a historic fortress city; it's often whispered to be the 'street art capital' of Russia. Unlike the polished galleries of Moscow, the art here has a raw, organic feel that harmonises with the city's unique wooden architecture and rolling hills. Our retreat workshops tap into this local 'Nizhny' vibe, encouraging you to find beauty in the unexpected and the old.

We often draw inspiration from the city's famous 'New City' festival and the countless hidden murals tucked away in its historic courtyards. Painting here feels like becoming part of a living, breathing history. 🏙️

Fun Fact: Nizhny Novgorod is home to some of the most famous 'art-provinces' in the country, where street artists use old, abandoned buildings as their canvas, turning the entire city into an open-air museum!
