Do I need to be good at drawing to join a retreat workshop?

Absolutely not! Our Surabaya retreat workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic spray technique and moving on to creating your own masterpiece. The focus is on relaxation, trial, and error, and finding your creative flow in a supportive, fun environment. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at what you can produce!

Is it safe to use spray paint indoors?

We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality protective gear, including overalls, gloves, and professional masks to ensure you don't breathe in any fumes. All our workshops in Surabaya are conducted in well-ventilated or outdoor areas. Our instructors provide a full safety briefing before we touch the cans, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and secure while they unleash their inner street artist.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit flicked with paint. While we provide full-body protective suits, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto shoelaces or sleeves! Think 'casual and messy' rather than 'Saturday night out.' It's all part of the authentic street art experience here in East Java.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard creative retreat workshops usually last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, some practice runs on the wall, a coffee or snack break, and the final creation of your artwork. If you have a specific schedule in mind or want to combine it with a full-day corporate retreat in Surabaya, we can certainly adjust the timing to fit your needs.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes, you can! Depending on the package you choose, you can either work on a large communal mural (great for team building) or create your own individual piece on a high-quality canvas. If you choose the canvas option, we'll make sure it's dry and ready for you to take home at the end of the day, serving as a permanent memory of your Surabaya creative escape.

Is there a minimum or maximum group size?

Because we want to ensure a high-quality experience and have enough artists on hand, we do require a minimum group size, usually around 5 to 10 people. However, for larger corporate retreats or community festivals in Surabaya, we can accommodate groups of up to 100+ people by bringing in multiple artists and setting up several spray stations. Just reach out, and we'll find a solution for your group!

What happens if I need to cancel or change my booking?

Life happens, we get it! One of the best things about Graffitifun is that we don't require upfront payments. You can book your slot, and if your plans change, just let us know as soon as possible. You pay after the workshop is completed, which gives you total peace of mind. We also have backup artists available to ensure your event goes ahead even if there's an unforeseen snag.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti retreat for your next big outing? Because traditional workshops are out, and immersive, colourful experiences are in! In a city as dynamic as Surabaya, you need an activity that matches that pace. Here’s why our graffiti retreats stand out:

Authentic Artist Connection: Work alongside real street artists who live and breathe the Surabaya art scene. 🎤
Digital Detox: Put the phone away and engage your senses with the sound of the rattle and the smell of the paint (safely masked, of course!). 📵
Boost Confidence: There's nothing more empowering than conquering a blank wall and seeing your vision come to life in 3D scale. 💪
Stress Relief: Many of our guests find the rhythmic motion of spray painting to be incredibly therapeutic and relaxing. 🌊
Zero Pressure: We focus on the process and the fun, not just the final result—perfect for non-artists! 🏆
Memory Making: Whether it's a team mural or a personal canvas, you'll leave with a physical reminder of your creative breakthrough. 🎉

Step by step

The warm welcome: Meet your professional artist mentors at our Surabaya creative hub and get settled in with some local refreshments.
Design & concept: We’ll start with a brainstorming session, sketching out ideas and learning about the history of street art in Indonesia.
Safety first: Suit up in your protective gear! We’ll show you how to use the masks and gloves correctly for a mess-free experience.
Cans 101: Learn the 'anatomy' of a spray can, from choosing the right caps (nozzles) to controlling pressure and distance.
Practice strokes: Take to the walls for some low-pressure practice. Learn how to draw straight lines, dots, and smooth fades.
The main event: Start working on your final piece, whether it's a personal canvas or a massive group mural that represents your retreat's theme.
Refining details: Use specialized techniques like 'cutting' and outlining to make your artwork pop and look professionally finished.
The big reveal: Step back, admire the collective work of the group, and snap some high-energy photos for the gram!
Wrap up: Final de-brief, cleaning up, and (if you opted for canvases) packing your art to take home.

Good to know

Typical duration: 2 to 3 hours of pure creative flow.
Group sizes: We cater for small intimate groups (5+) to massive corporate events (100+).
What's included: Premium spray paint, caps, safety gear (suits/masks), gloves, and your choice of canvas or wall space.
Locations: Various indoor and outdoor venues across Surabaya, from industrial lofts to garden settings.
Safety: Professional-grade respiratory protection and experienced instructors on-site at all times.
Flexibility: Custom themes available—want to paint your company logo or a specific cultural motif? We can do it!

Local culture

Surabaya isn't just an industrial powerhouse; it's a city with a deep-seated soul and an ever-evolving street art scene. From the historic corridors of the Old City to the bustling creative pockets near the Tunjungan area, the spirit of "Arek Suroboyo" (the people of Surabaya) is bold, brave, and incredibly artistic. Our retreats tap into this local energy, drawing inspiration from the city's iconic landmarks and the resilience of its people.

Fun Fact: Surabaya is home to some of the largest mural projects in Indonesia, often used to revitalise local "Kampungs" (villages) into vibrant, Instagrammable tourist spots! 🇮🇩 🔥

Participating in a workshop here means becoming part of a community that values grit and creativity in equal measure. We often host our sessions in spaces that overlook the unique blend of colonial architecture and modern skyscrapers, giving you a uniquely 'Suroboyo' backdrop for your creative journey.
