What makes a street art festival in St Gallen special?

St Gallen is famous for its history, but it has a surprisingly vibrant urban art scene. From the legal walls near the Lattich area to hidden gems in the industrial quarters, the city provides a stunning backdrop of old-meets-new. Our street art festival workshops tap into this local energy, allowing you to contribute your own style to the 'St Galler' creative landscape under professional guidance.

Do I need to be an artist to participate?

Absolutely no experience is required! Most of our festival participants have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, from nozzle control to layering colours. We focus on fun and expression rather than perfection. You will be amazed at what you can create in just a few hours with a little bit of expert coaching.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for everyone?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. Our spray paints are selected for their quality and safety standards. Each workshop begins with a comprehensive safety briefing to ensure everyone knows how to handle the equipment correctly while having a blast.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes a wide variety of premium spray can colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear (gloves, masks, suits), and the surfaces we will be painting on. For festival setups, we often use large-scale mobile walls or canvases that can be displayed or taken home. Just bring your enthusiasm!

What happens if it rains during the event?

While we love the sun, Swiss weather can be unpredictable! For our St Gallen events, we usually have a backup plan. If the festival has indoor space, we can move the workshop there using low-odour paints or specialised setups. Often, we use pop-up tents to keep the artists dry. If the weather is truly extreme, we will work with you to reschedule or find a suitable alternative.

How long does a typical festival workshop last?

For festival formats, we are very flexible. Individual sessions usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours, but the 'walk-in' festival stations can run all day long. This allows hundreds of people to drop by, add a few strokes or tags, and learn the basics in a fast-paced, high-energy environment. We tailor the timing to fit the specific schedule of your St Gallen event.

How do I book a workshop for my event?

Booking is simple and stress-free! You can use our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate, or use our Tag Creator to start dreaming up your design. Once you are ready, send us a request via our contact form. We don't require upfront payments – you only pay after the workshop is completed, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the experience.

Safety first: Get geared up in your protective suit, mask, and gloves. We’ll show you how to use the equipment safely and effectively.

Sketching your vision: Grab a marker and outline your ideas on the wall or canvas. Don't worry, we’re there to help you refine your shapes.
First layers: Start filling in your piece with bold colours. This is the stage where the wall really starts to pop and come alive!
Adding details: Learn how to create highlights, lowlights, and those crisp outlines that make graffiti jump off the surface.
The master touch: Our pros will show you "cutting" techniques to fix mistakes and sharpen your edges for a professional finish.
Group photo & reveal: Step back and admire the massive collective mural you've created with your fellow festival-goers.
Clean up & cheers: We handle all the messy bits while you celebrate your new-found skills!

Local culture

St Gallen might be famous for its UNESCO-protected library and intricate embroidery, but it also has a pulse of modern urban creativity. The city's 'Stadtwandeln' vibe encourages people to look at walls differently. By bringing a street art festival experience here, we bridge the gap between St Gallen's traditional craftsmanship and contemporary street culture. We often take inspiration from local textile patterns—reimagining them through the lens of a spray can!

Fun Fact: St Gallen is home to the "Red Square" (Stadtlounge), a massive public art installation that turned an entire district into a giant red lounge room. It’s exactly this kind of bold creative spirit we bring to our workshops! 🎨

Whether we are setting up near the university or adding some flare to a local neighbourhood fest, we make sure the art reflects the unique spirit of this Swiss gem. We also offer workshops in other Swiss hubs like Zurich, Basel, Geneva, and Bern.
