Are your Lyon graffiti locations wheelchair accessible?

Absolutely! We select locations in Lyon that offer flat, paved surfaces and easy access for wheelchairs. Our artists are experienced in setting up the workspace so that everyone, regardless of mobility level, can reach the 'canvas' (usually a large wooden board or cling-film wall) comfortably. We ensure there is plenty of space to move around and enjoy the creative process without obstacles.

What safety measures do you take for special needs groups?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 masks to ensure no one inhales fumes, along with gloves and protective suits to keep clothes clean. Our spray cans are low-pressure, making them easier to control for those with limited hand strength or dexterity. We also choose quiet areas in Lyon to avoid sensory overload for participants who are sensitive to loud noises.

How do the artists adapt their teaching for different abilities?

Our artists are much more than just painters; they are patient mentors. We focus on 'guided freedom'—providing enough structure to feel successful while allowing total creative expression. We use visual aids, simple demonstrations, and one-on-one assistance to ensure every participant feels confident. We adapt our communication style to meet the specific cognitive or sensory needs of your group.

How long does a typical special needs workshop last?

We recommend a duration of about 90 minutes to 2 hours for special needs groups in Lyon. This allows enough time for a relaxed introduction and plenty of painting without causing physical or mental fatigue. However, we are completely flexible! If your group needs more frequent breaks or a shorter, high-energy session, just let us know and we will tailor the schedule.

Do participants need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the very basics—how to hold the can and make a simple line. Many of our participants have never picked up a spray can before, and they are always amazed at what they can create by the end of the session. It is about the joy of the process, not previous skill.

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

Lyon can be unpredictable, but the fun doesn't have to stop! We have several sheltered or indoor partner locations across the city where we can move the workshop if the weather looks bad. Alternatively, because we have a large team of backup artists, we can often reschedule to a clearer day. We’ll always coordinate with you to ensure a smooth experience.

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

Booking is easy and stress-free. You can use our online Cost Calculator for an instant estimate, then send us a request with your preferred date and group size. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is completed. This ensures you are 100% happy with the experience we've provided in Lyon before any money changes hands.

Creative collaboration during a graffiti company outing

Local culture

Lyon is a city that breathes art, from the historic silk-weaving "Canut" murals in Croix-Rousse to the modern urban galleries of Confluence. Our workshops tap into this rich heritage, offering a modern way to connect with Lyon's creative soul. We often hold our sessions in accessible plazas or quiet urban parks where the city's atmosphere inspires every stroke of the can. 🦁

Fun Fact: Did you know Lyon is often called the "capital of murals"? The city features over 150 giant wall paintings, including the famous Fresque des Lyonnais. Street art isn't just a hobby here; it's a part of the city's DNA!

Pricing

Our goal is to make street art accessible to everyone in Lyon, and that includes our pricing structure. Workshop costs typically range from €30 to €65 per person. This variation depends on the total number of participants, the specific materials required, and whether we come to your location or use one of our accessible spots in the city.

Every group is unique, so we offer bespoke packages to ensure you get exactly what you need. Request a custom quote today for a transparent, no-obligation price estimate!

Note: No payment is required upfront. You only pay after the workshop is finished and you are 100% satisfied! 🏆
