Do we need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our retreat participants have never touched a spray can before. That is the whole point of a retreat—to step outside your comfort zone and try something new. Our professional artists are there to guide you through every step, from basic nozzle control to advanced layering techniques. You will be amazed at what you can create by the end of the session!

What should we wear for the workshop?

While we recommend old clothes and comfortable shoes just in case, we provide full protective gear. This includes high-quality overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks to keep your lungs clear and your outfit clean. We take safety and cleanliness specifically seriously so you can focus entirely on the creative flow without worrying about ruining your favourite trainers.

How long does a retreat session usually last?

A typical creative retreat workshop in Shanghai lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for the intro, technique practice, and the completion of a large-scale masterpiece. For larger groups or full-day team-building retreats, we can extend the programme with extra challenges, collaborative mural sessions, or even a street art walking tour through the local area.

Can the workshop be held at our own venue?

We are fully mobile! While we have several 'legal wall' spots in Shanghai where we can paint outdoors, we can also bring the workshop to your location. If you have a private courtyard or a well-ventilated indoor space with protection, we can set up there. We use low-odour water-based cans for indoor settings whenever possible to ensure everyone remains comfortable.

What if we need to cancel or change our booking?

Of course! We know plans can change, especially with corporate schedules. You do not need to pay anything upfront when you book. We believe in our service so much that you only pay after the workshop is complete. Plus, we have backup artists on standby for every event, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation.

Do we get to keep the artwork we create?

Most retreats result in a massive shared mural on a wall or large boards. However, we also offer individual canvases or 'street art pieces' that participants can take home or back to the office. This serves as a lasting souvenir of your team's creative breakthrough. Just let us know your preference when booking so we can prepare the right materials.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti retreat in the middle of Shanghai? It’s more than just a painting class—it’s a powerful way to reset your brain and align your team. Here is why our workshops stand out: 🔥

Total creative freedom: Forget the rules! We encourage you to express yourself in ways that a standard office environment just doesn't allow.
Boosted collaboration: Nothing brings a team together like working on a massive, 10-meter-long mural where everyone’s contribution matters.
Stress relief: There is something incredibly therapeutic about the 'hiss' of a spray can and the physical movement of painting large-scale art.
Pro-artist guidance: You are not just left to it; our artists are mentors who ensure your final piece looks professional enough for any office wall. 🏆
Risk-free booking: With no upfront payment and a 100% satisfaction guarantee, you can book with total peace of mind.

Step by step

The artistic icebreaker: We start with a high-energy intro where you meet your local Shanghai pro artists and learn about the history of street art.
Safety and gear-up: Safety first! Everyone gets kitted out in protective overalls, gloves, and professional masks to keep the vibes clean.
First spray techniques: You will learn the 'basics of the can'—how to control pressure, vary line widths, and master different nozzles (caps).
Sketching the vision: Work with our artists to sketch out your retreat theme. Whether it is a company logo or a freestyle mural, we help you plan it.
The filling phase: This is where the magic happens! You will start filling in your designs with vibrant colours and bold gradients.
The detail work: Our pros show you how to add those 'pro-level' touches like shadows, highlights, and crisp outlines to make the art pop.
The grand reveal: We step back, drop the cans, and admire the collective masterpiece you have built together as a team.
Photos and wrap-up: We take high-quality group shots of your crew and your artwork before packing up—leaving only the art behind!

Good to know

Duration: Sessions typically run for 2 to 3 hours, but we can tailor timings for half-day or full-day retreats.
Group sizes: Whether you are a small team of 5 or a massive corporate group of 100+, we have the gear and artists to handle it.
What’s included: Professional spray cans (massive colour range), caps, protective gear, masks, and expert tuition.
Safety: We use high-quality FFP2 masks and provide full safety briefings. Professionalism is our middle name!
Weather: We have access to both indoor and outdoor venues in Shanghai, so the fun continues come rain or shine. ☔

Local culture

Shanghai’s street art scene is a fascinating blend of international influence and local 'Hai Pai' culture. From the legendary (though ever-changing) walls near M50 Creative Park to the hidden gems in the Jing'an district, the city is a playground for visual storytellers. During your retreat, you’ll feel that unique Shanghai energy—a mix of high-speed innovation and deep artistic tradition. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Shanghai was one of the first cities in China to embrace large-scale legal mural projects? The city often uses street art to rejuvenate old industrial districts, turning grey concrete into vibrant cultural landmarks!

Our workshops respect this local heritage, often incorporating elements of Chinese calligraphy or Shanghai’s iconic skyline into the designs. We don't just teach you how to spray; we help you connect with the soul of the city. 🏙️
