Do I need to have any artistic experience to participate?

Not at all! Our street art festival workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of spray painting, from how to hold the can to creating clean lines and fades. We focus on fun and expression rather than technical perfection, so you can just relax and enjoy the rhythm of the festival atmosphere.

Is the workshop safe, and what protective gear is provided?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including professional-grade masks to filter out fumes, disposable gloves to keep your hands clean, and protective suits to save your clothes from stray paint. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas, and our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can.

What happens if it rains during the street art festival?

Dresden's weather can be unpredictable, but we've got you covered. If the festival experiences light rain, we often use pop-up gazebos or move to sheltered areas. For more severe weather, we have backup plans including indoor locations or the option to reschedule. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never have to cancel an event entirely.

Is this activity suitable for children and families?

We usually suggest a minimum age of 6 or 8 for our festival workshops, as the spray cans require a certain amount of hand strength and coordination. However, we have special water-based paints and smaller cans for younger kids so that the whole family can get involved. It is a fantastic way for children to discover their creative potential in a vibrant, safe environment.

How long does a typical graffiti workshop last?

Standard festival sessions usually last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives you enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice your 'tag', and collaborate on a larger mural or complete your own individual canvas. If you are part of a larger brand activation or corporate group, we can tailor the duration to fit your specific event schedule Perfectly.

Do I need to pay upfront for the workshop?

We believe in a stress-free booking process. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your slot. You can pay after the workshop concludes, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods, making it easy for both private groups and corporate clients to settle the bill once the creative magic has happened.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

While we often work on large collective murals during festivals, many of our packages allow you to create your own piece on a professional canvas or take-home board. This makes for an incredible souvenir of your time in Dresden. If you’re working on a public wall, we always make sure to take high-quality photos of your masterpiece so you can share it online!

Local culture

Dresden is a city of two halves, and its street art scene is no different. While the Altstadt glows with history, the Äußere Neustadt is the beating heart of the city’s urban creativity. Every corner here tells a story, from the famous "Night Watchman" murals to the ever-changing "fame" walls where local legends hone their craft. Our workshops often draw inspiration from the Kunsthofpassage, where art and architecture collide in the most colourful ways.

🎨 Fun fact: Dresden is home to some of the oldest graffiti in Germany! While the scene exploded in the 90s, the city's alternative quarters have been a canvas for political and artistic expression since the days of the GDR, making it a truly historic place to pick up a spray can.

By bringing our street art festival experience to Dresden, we bridge the gap between this storied urban history and your own creative future. Whether we are setting up near the Elbe or in a hidden industrial courtyard, the spirit of Dresden’s "Neustadt" culture is always present. ✨
