Do I need any prior artistic experience to join the retreat?

Absolutely! Our retreat workshops in The Hague are specifically designed for beginners. Our professional street artists guide you through every single step, from holding the can correctly to mastering complex layering techniques. Most of our participants have never touched spray paint before, so you are in great company. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the high-quality artwork you've managed to create.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need for a stress-free creative getaway. This includes high-quality spray cans in a huge range of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and masks. We also provide the canvases or walls for your masterpieces. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty. We take care of all the logistics so you can focus on the vibe.

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

The Hague is famous for its coastal winds! If the weather turns sour, we have several partner indoor locations across the city where we can move the retreat. Your creative flow won't be interrupted by a bit of Dutch rain. We also have a large team of backup artists ready to go, ensuring your retreat happens exactly when you planned it, regardless of unforeseen circumstances.

How long does a typical creative retreat workshop last?

Our creative retreat workshops typically last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This timeframe is perfect for a deep dive into the art form without feeling rushed. It allows enough time for the initial technique practice, a coffee or snack break to soak in the atmosphere, and the final production of your main artwork. We can also customise the duration to fit your specific schedule.

Is the spray paint safe to use for everyone?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paint and provide all necessary European-standard protective gear, including FFP2 masks and gloves. Our instructors are professional artists who are well-versed in site safety. We ensure the workspace is well-ventilated (or outdoors) and that everyone feels comfortable and secure throughout the entire experience. It's all about fun in a protected environment.

Can you accommodate large groups or corporate teams for a retreat?

Yes, we love hosting large groups! Whether it's a corporate team-building retreat, a large family gathering, or a community project, we can scale our workshops to accommodate you. For larger groups in The Hague, we bring in additional artist-mentors to ensure everyone gets personal attention. We can even organise a 'collaborative mural' where your whole group works together to create one massive, unified piece of art.

How do I book a session and when do I need to pay?

Booking is easy and risk-free with Graffitifun. You don't need to pay anything upfront; you simply pay after the workshop is completed. To get started, just request a custom quote via our website. We'll chat about your group size, preferred date, and any specific themes you want to explore. Once the details are set, we handle the rest, leaving you to look forward to your creative escape.

Unique locations: From beachside vibes near Scheveningen to urban industrial spots, we pick locations that inspire. 🏖️
No pressure, all fun: There are no mistakes in graffiti—only 'happy accidents' and stylish overlaps.
Unbeatable reliability: With our pool of backup artists, your workshop is guaranteed to go ahead, rain or shine. 🏆

Local culture

The Hague (Den Haag) is a city of incredible contrasts, where stately palaces and international embassies meet a raw, underground creative pulse. While many know it for the Mauritshuis, the city is actually a hidden gem for street art lovers. From the 'Binckhorst' district—an industrial area rapidly becoming a creative hub—to the vibrant walls near the city centre, The Hague breathes inspiration. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know The Hague is home to 'The Hague Street Art', an organisation that has helped transform the city into an open-air museum with dozens of massive murals by world-class artists? Our retreat workshops tap into this local energy, giving you a chance to add your own story to the city's artistic narrative. Whether we're painting near the sea breeze of Scheveningen or in an urban industrial space, the local vibe is always electric. 🌊
