Is any previous art experience required to participate?

Our Bologna street art festivals are designed for everyone! Whether you are a toddler picking up a can for the first time or a retiree looking to explore a new hobby, our expert artists tailor their guidance to your level. We focus on inclusion, ensuring that every participant feels comfortable and inspired to contribute to the city's vibrant urban art scene.

What safety gear do you provide during the festival?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks, protective gloves, and disposable ponchos to keep your clothes clean. Our spray cans are professional-grade but easy to handle. Every workshop is led by an experienced artist who provides a safety briefing before any paint is sprayed, ensuring a secure environment for all creators.

Can we arrange food and drinks during the workshop?

Bologna is known as 'La Grassa' for its food, and we don't want you going hungry! While we don't provide catering directly, our workshop sites are usually located near fantastic local osterias. For large festival bookings, we can help coordinate with local vendors to ensure your group has plenty of refreshments to keep the creative energy flowing.

Do I need to pay for the workshop in advance?

We believe in a hassle-free experience. You don't need to pay anything upfront when booking your festival slot. We trust our clients and prefer to settle the payment after the workshop has been successfully completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the street art experience we've delivered in the heart of Emilia-Romagna.

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

The weather in Bologna can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. If rain is forecast, we often use covered outdoor spaces or move the festival to a suitable indoor location. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never cancel. We will communicate with you in advance to ensure the show goes on regardless of the clouds.

Can we take photos or videos of the process?

Absolutely! We encourage you to take photos and videos of your progress. It’s a fantastic way to document your creative journey from a blank wall to a finished masterpiece. If you’re working on a festival piece, sharing your work on social media helps celebrate Bologna’s local street art culture. Don't forget to tag your fellow artists!

The experience

Why choose a street art experience for your next big event in Bologna? It’s more than just a painting class; it’s a high-impact, memorable activity that breaks the ice and gets everyone’s heart racing. Here’s why our festival format works so well in this city:

Unbeatable atmosphere: Tap into Bologna's unique, alternative vibe with an activity that matches the city's soul.
Expert guidance: You’ll be mentored by top-tier local and international artists who live and breathe street culture.
Total flexibility: We can set up at your festival grounds, a local park, or a private venue—we bring the art to you.
Inclusive for everyone: Our workshops are designed to be accessible, regardless of age, physical ability, or artistic talent.
Zero risk booking: With no upfront payment and a rock-solid backup artist system, your event is in safe hands.
Lasting impact: Create a physical piece of art that serves as a stunning backdrop for photos and a lasting memory of the day.

Step by step

Welcome and inspiration: We start with a brief introduction to Bologna's rich graffiti history and a quick look at the festival's creative goals.
Safety and gear: Everyone gets fitted with gloves, masks, and protective overalls to ensure a clean and safe painting experience.
Sketching the vision: Grab a marker or pencil and help us brainstorm the mural's design, focusing on local themes or abstract shapes.
Can control basics: Our pros show you how to hold the can, adjust your distance, and control the pressure for different spray effects.
Developing outlines: We hit the wall together to lay down the initial structure and 'bones' of the large-scale festival mural.
Filling with colour: This is the high-energy part! Move as a team to fill in the large blocks of vibrant colour across the surface.
Cutting and detailing: Learn the 'cut-in' technique to sharpen edges and add the fine details that make a piece of street art pop.
The finishing touch: We add highlights, glows, and of course, the artist signatures to commemorate the day's hard work.
Group photo and wrap-up: We celebrate the finished masterpiece with a group shot before packing up the gear and admiring the view.

Good to know

Duration: Most festival workshops run between 1.5 to 3 hours, but we can scale this for full-day events.

Group size: We cater to everything from small groups of 10 to massive festival crowds of over 200 people.

Included: Professional spray cans, protective masks, gloves, ponchos, and high-quality painting surfaces or walls.

Safety: Led by certified professional artists with full safety briefings. We use low-odour, high-quality paint where possible.

Backup: We always have backup artists on standby to ensure your event goes ahead without a hitch.

Local culture

Bologna is a city that breathes art, from the medieval frescoes in its churches to the bold political murals in the Quartiere Porto and along Via del Pratello. The city's street art scene is deeply rooted in its history of social movements and student activism, making it one of the most authentic places in Italy to pick up a spray can. Unlike the more polished galleries of Milan, Bologna’s walls tell a story of rebellion, community, and raw talent. When we host a festival here, we tap into that specific "Bolognese" energy—creative, welcoming, and slightly rebellious. You'll feel the spirit of legendary local writers as you work on your own piece, surrounded by the warm terracotta hues of the city's famous architecture. It's an immersive experience that connects you to the urban heartbeat of Emilia-Romagna.
