Will I get paint on my clothes during the festival?

Absolutely! We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks to keep you looking fresh. While our spray paint is professional grade, it’s best not to wear your favourite designer gear just in case you get a bit too enthusiastic with the nozzle. Most of the paint stays on the wall, but a little 'battle scar' on your trainers isn't unheard of!

Do I need any previous art experience to participate?

Not at all. Our street art festival workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to closet Picassos. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of can control, fading, and outlining. By the time the festival music hits its peak, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It's all about having fun and being creative!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

We use premium, low-pressure spray cans that are much easier to handle than standard hardware store spray. We also provide professional-grade respiratory masks and gloves. Safety is our top priority, and our instructors are always on hand to ensure everyone is using the equipment correctly and safely while having a blast.

What happens if it rains during the event?

We love the energy of the Groningen rain! If we're hosting at an outdoor festival, we usually have gazebos or covered areas ready to go. If the weather gets truly 'Dutch', we can often move the activation to a sheltered spot or use indoor-safe water-based markers for certain creative elements. The fun doesn't stop for a few clouds!

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Our festival workshops usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the specific setup and flow of the event. We can run rolling sessions where people drop in and out, or structured slots for specific groups. We're totally flexible to match the vibe and schedule of your festival or event in Groningen.

What is included in the workshop price?

Everything is included! We bring the spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective gear, masks, and the 'canvas' (whether that's a professional wall, board, or even a vehicle). You just need to bring your energy and a desire to create something epic. We handle all the setup and the messy cleanup afterwards.

Intro & inspiration: We start with a quick meet-and-greet where our pro artists show you some epic street art styles to get your brain buzzing.
Safety first: Suit up in our high-quality overalls and masks. We’ll teach you the right way to hold the can and manage the pressure like a pro.
Master the nozzle: Learn the difference between fat caps and skinny caps. You'll practice lines, dots, and fills on a practice surface first.
Sketching the dream: Grab a piece of chalk or a light spray and outline your vision. Whether it's a tag, a character, or an abstract shape, we'll help you refine it.
Filling & fading: This is where the magic happens! Learn how to blend colours and create those smooth gradients that make street art pop.
Outlining & highlights: Sharp outlines make your work stand out. We'll show you how to add those final 'white-out' highlights for that 3D effect.
The big reveal: Step back, drop the can, and admire your work. It's time for the ultimate festival photo op with your crew!

Local culture

Groningen is a city that pulses with youthful energy, thanks in no part to its massive student population and legendary nightlife. This creative spirit spills out onto the streets, with vibrant murals hidden in alleys and sprawling pieces decorating the industrial outskirts like the Ebbingekwartier. It’s a city that respects the 'Old Masters' at the Groninger Museum while celebrating the 'New Masters' of the street art scene.

Fun Fact: Did you know Groningen is home to some of the most legal 'Hall of Fame' spots in the North? The city has a long history of embracing urban art as a way to brighten up public spaces! 🏛️

Whether we're setting up near the Martinitoren or bringing a pop-up gallery to a festival in Stadspark, we channel that unique "Groningse" mix of history and modern grit into every workshop we lead.
