Do the kids need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely! No prior painting experience is needed for our school holiday workshops in Lugano. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We start with basic spray can control and move on to 'can control' and filling techniques. Whether they are naturally artistic or just looking for a fun new hobby, every participant will create something they are proud of by the end of the session. It's all about discovery and fun!

Is the workshop safe for children and teenagers?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep clothes clean and lungs safe. We use professional-grade spray paint, and our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. All sessions are fully supervised by experienced artists who ensure the equipment is used correctly and responsibly. Parents can breathe easy knowing their children are in a controlled, professional, and safe creative environment.

What should my child wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we do provide protective overalls, gloves, and shoe covers, graffiti can sometimes be a messy business! It's best to leave the brand-new white trainers at home just in case. Since our Lugano lakeside sessions can be sunny, bringing a hat and some sunscreen is also a great idea for those bright Swiss afternoons.

How long does a typical holiday session last?

Our school holiday workshops are designed to be quite flexible. A standard session usually lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This timeframe provides the perfect balance: enough time to learn the core techniques, practice on a practice wall, and then complete a final masterpiece on a personal canvas or shared board. It fits perfectly into a busy holiday schedule while still feeling like a substantial and rewarding artistic achievement for the students.

Are all the materials included in the price?

We provide everything needed for a world-class street art experience! The cost includes all professional spray cans in a huge variety of colours, protective masks, gloves, overalls, and the surfaces we paint on (like large canvases or wooden panels). You don't need to bring anything other than your creativity and enthusiasm. We even handle the setup and the cleanup, so you can just focus on having an amazing time in Lugano.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

Rain won't stop the fun! While many of our sessions take place at inspiring outdoor locations around Lugano, we always have a Plan B. We have access to various indoor spaces or covered areas to ensure the workshop can proceed regardless of the weather. We also have a dedicated team of backup artists available, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation. Your holiday plans are safe with Graffitifun!

Can the participants take their artwork home?

Definitely! In our school holiday workshops, each participant usually works on their own high-quality canvas or a sturdy board. Once the paint is dry at the end of the session, they are free to take their unique piece of street art home to hang on their bedroom wall. It serves as a fantastic souvenir of their creative holiday in Lugano and a constant reminder of the new skills they've mastered with us.

Local culture

Lugano isn't just about luxury watches and chocolate; it’s a city with a growing appreciation for urban expression. From the creative energy found in the LAC (Lugano Arte e Cultura) district to the hidden corners of the city where murals are starting to breathe life into the streets, Lugano is the perfect Swiss canvas. Our workshops tap into this Mediterranean-meets-Alpine vibe, encouraging participants to draw inspiration from the stunning scenery and the chic, artistic culture of the city.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Lugano is often called the "Monte Carlo of Switzerland"? It's the perfect place to create some "high-end" street art that combines Swiss precision with Italian-style passion! 🏔️✨
