Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Our street art festival experiences in Lugano are designed for everyone, from complete beginners to those with some creative flair. Our professional artists guide you through every step, starting with basic safety and nozzle control. You'll be surprised at how quickly you can create a vibrant piece of art. Most of our participants have never held a spray can before, so you'll be in great company!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for participants?

Safety is our top priority at every Lugano event. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality FFP2 masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and much safer for beginners. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying, ensuring a fun and secure environment for all participants.

What should I wear to the street art festival?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. While we provide full-body protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a messy business! Think 'outdoor casual'—the kind of outfit you'd wear for a DIY project or a relaxed day out at a festival. Leave the high-end designer gear at home and focus on being comfortable while you create.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard festival workshop sessions typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction, some practice runs on plastic foil or practice boards, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you are part of a larger festival rotation, we can adapt the timing to fit shorter 'taster' slots or extended deep-dive sessions depending on the event schedule.

What happens if it rains during the event in Lugano?

We are well-prepared for the Swiss weather! If we are working outdoors and it rains, we usually move under gazebos or large tents to keep the 'canvas' dry. In some cases, we can relocate to an indoor space if the festival venue allows. We also have a team of backup artists ready to go, so your creative experience is guaranteed to happen regardless of minor scheduling hitches.

How much does a workshop experience cost?

Our pricing in Lugano typically ranges from CHF 40 to CHF 85 per person. This variation depends on the size of your group, the duration of the session, and whether you want to take home a canvas or work on a large communal mural. We pride ourselves on being transparent with no hidden costs—all materials are included. For a precise figure, just request a custom quote!

Can you host workshops in other Swiss cities?

Yes, we love traveling! While Lugano is a stunning base, our team of graffiti artists brings the street art vibe to cities all across Switzerland. We frequently run events in Zurich, Geneva, Basel, and Bern. Whether you are hosting a brand activation in the city centre or a private party in the mountains, Graffitifun can bring the spray cans and creativity directly to your location.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next big event in Lugano? Because "normal" is boring! We offer a hands-on experience that sticks in the memory long after the paint has dried. Here is why we're the top choice for street art in Ticino:

Professional vibes: Learn from real artists who live and breathe street culture. 🎤
Zero stress booking: No upfront payments and a team of backup artists so your event never gets cancelled.
Incredible backdrops: Create amazing art with the stunning scenery of Lake Lugano as your inspiration. 🌊
Interactive tech: Use our Tag Creator to prep your designs before you even touch a spray can!
Everyone is an artist: We prove that anyone can create a masterpiece with the right guidance and a bit of 'spray-fidence'. 🏆
Sustainable & Safe: We use high-quality, professional-grade materials that respect both the environment and your health.

Step by step

Gear up for action: Everyone gets fitted with professional protective overalls, gloves, and high-quality masks to stay clean and safe.
Master the nozzle: Our pros show you the different 'caps' and how to control the pressure for fat lines or skinny details.
Sketch your vision: Learn how to map out your design on the wall or canvas using light 'ghost lines' before committing to colour.
Fill like a pro: Discover techniques for smooth colour gradients, solid fills, and that classic street art pop.
The power of the outline: This is where the magic happens! We'll teach you how to 'cut' your lines to make your art look sharp and professional.
Highlights and effects: Add those final touches—shining highlights, 3D shadows, and 'force fields' to make your tag jump off the wall.
Photo finish: Grab your crew for a group photo in front of your finished mural to immortalise your Lugano street art debut!

Local culture

Lugano might be famous for its luxury watches and sophisticated lakeside promenades, but there is a pulsing creative heart underneath those palm trees. The city has seen a growing appreciation for urban art, moving from the shadows of the 'centro' to becoming a celebrated part of Ticino's cultural landscape. Our workshops celebrate this contrast—mixing the elegance of Swiss design with the raw energy of international street art. 🏔️ ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that while Lugano is known as the "Rio of Switzerland," the local street art scene often draws inspiration from the surrounding nature? You'll find murals that blend urban geometry with the shapes of the Alpine landscape!

Participating in a workshop here means becoming part of a community that values both tradition and modern rebellion. We love bringing the spray-paint scent to the fresh mountain air of Lugano!
