Do I need to have any artistic talent or experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our Shanghai street art festival workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, from how to hold the spray can to advanced fading techniques. You'll be amazed at what you can achieve in just a few hours—most people walk away with a masterpiece they never thought they could create! Every session is about fun and expression, not perfection.

Is it safe, and what protective gear do you provide?

We take safety seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paints and conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially prepared festival zones. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a worry-free environment for kids and adults alike to enjoy the creative process safely and comfortably.

What should I wear and bring to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable shoes and clothes you don't mind getting a little dusty, even though we provide full-body overalls. Since we are in Shanghai, it’s always a good idea to bring a water bottle and some sun cream if we are outdoors. We provide all the professional materials, including premium spray cans in a huge range of colours, caps/nozzles, canvases, and safety gear. You just need to bring your enthusiasm!

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Our standard street art festival experiences usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of graffiti, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice time, and the creation of your final artwork. For larger festivals, we can also offer 'drop-in' style mini-sessions that last 20-30 minutes, allowing more people to get a taste of the action throughout the day.

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

While we love the sunshine at the West Bund, we have reliable backup plans for Shanghai's rainy days. We often use gazebos or move to sheltered festival areas so the fun doesn't have to stop. One of the best parts about booking with Graffitifun is our reliability; we have backup artists available to ensure your event goes ahead as planned, regardless of minor hitches. We guarantee a creative experience, rain or shine!

How does the booking and payment process work?

We believe in the quality of our experience, which is why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy for most bookings. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the service before finalizing payment. It takes the stress out of the booking process and shows our commitment to delivering a high-energy, professional, and fun event.

Creative collaboration during a graffiti company outing

Local culture

Shanghai is a city where tradition meets the ultra-modern, and its street art scene is no different. From the iconic M50 Creative Park on Moganshan Road to the trendy alleys of Jing'an, the city is a canvas of evolving styles. Our workshops tap into this unique "East-meets-West" aesthetic, blending classic graffiti wildstyle with local Shanghai flair. Did you know? 🎨 Fun Fact: Shanghai is home to some of the longest dedicated graffiti walls in China, where the government and artists have collaborated to create sanctioned 'free zones' for public expression! We bring this spirit of collaboration and monumental scale to every festival we host, making sure your experience feels authentically rooted in the local urban soul. 🏙️
