Is the graffiti workshop safe for people with special needs?

Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our artist-instructors are highly experienced in working with diverse groups and ensure that the environment remains calm, controlled, and supervised at all times. We use low-odour professional spray paint and choose well-ventilated locations in Lugano to ensure a comfortable breathing environment for everyone involved.

Can you accommodate participants with physical or cognitive disabilities?

Yes, we believe art is for everyone! Whether a participant has physical limitations, sensory sensitivities, or learning disabilities, we adapt our teaching style. We can adjust the height of the canvases for wheelchair users, provide sensory-friendly spaces, and offer one-on-one assistance for those who need extra help with can control. Just let us know your specific requirements when booking, and we will prepare accordingly.

What should participants wear to the workshop in Lugano?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little messy, just in case! While we provide full protective overalls, gloves, and shoe covers, stray paint can sometimes find its way onto sleeves or collars. Sturdy, closed-toe shoes are a must for safety. We’ll take care of the rest, including all the professional spray cans and caps you'll need.

How long does a typical session last?

Our special needs workshops in Lugano typically last between 1.5 to 2 hours. We’ve found this is the "sweet spot" to maintain engagement and energy without causing fatigue. However, we are completely flexible; if your group needs more frequent breaks or a shorter, more intensive session, we can easily tailor the schedule to fit the specific attention spans and comfort levels of your participants.

Do we need any previous art experience to participate?

No prior artistic skill is needed! Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and success-oriented. We focus on the "joy of creation" rather than technical perfection. Our professional artists guide participants through the basics of spray painting, starting with simple shapes and lines. By the end of the session, everyone will have contributed to a vibrant piece of art they can be proud of.

Can the workshop be held at our own facility or school?

While we often work at dedicated legal graffiti walls or open-air spaces in Lugano, we can also bring the workshop to you! If your facility has a suitable outdoor area or a very well-ventilated indoor space, we can set up our mobile canvases there. This is often a great option for special needs groups who feel more comfortable and secure in a familiar environment.

How do I book a workshop and what are the payment terms?

Booking is simple! You can use our online Cost Calculator for an instant estimate or reach out via our contact form. We don't require any payment upfront—you only pay after the workshop is completed to your satisfaction. Once we discuss your group's specific needs and the number of participants, we’ll lock in a date and assign one of our expert artists to lead your Lugano session.

Local culture

Lugano is a city where Swiss precision meets Mediterranean soul, and its art scene is just as diverse! From the sleek architecture of the LAC (Lugano Arte e Cultura) to the hidden corners of the Cassarate district, creativity is everywhere. In Ticino, we embrace the "dolce vita" spirit, and our workshops reflect that relaxed, joyful atmosphere. While Lugano is famous for its boutiques and lakeside promenades, there is a growing appreciation for urban art that brings a modern edge to this historic city.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the nearby village of Brè, overlooking Lugano, is an "art village" filled with sculptures and murals integrated into the traditional stone houses? Inspiration is truly around every corner here! 🎉
