Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival attendees?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority. We use high-quality, professional spray paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including masks and gloves. Our experienced artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We also ensure the workshop area is well-ventilated and situated at a safe distance from other festival attractions to ensure a worry-free environment for everyone involved.

How long does a typical festival session last?

We recommend allowing at least 20 to 30 minutes for an individual to get a real feel for the spray can and contribute something meaningful to a piece. However, for large-scale festivals in Surabaya, we often run 'drop-in' style sessions where people can add a quick tag or stroke, allowing hundreds of people to participate throughout the day. We can scale the timing to fit your specific schedule.

Do participants need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional street artists are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We guide participants through everything from holding the can to creating flares and shadows. It’s all about having fun and expressing yourself, regardless of your previous artistic experience or 'talent' level.

What materials do you provide for the festival?

We bring everything! We provide a massive range of premium spray paint colours, protective ponchos, nitrile gloves, and professional-grade masks. We also supply the 'canvas'—whether that’s a temporary wooden wall, large canvases, or even a vehicle. You just need to provide the space and a crowd ready to get creative. We handle the setup and the cleanup entirely.

What happens if it rains during the event?

Surabaya’s weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. We can set up under gazebos or temporary marquees to keep the artists and the art dry. If the weather is truly extreme, we can discuss indoor alternatives or reschedule. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we are very flexible and will always work with you to find a solution.

Is the workshop suitable for all ages?

Graffiti is naturally a hit with teenagers and young adults, but we find that children as young as 6 and adults well into their 60s love it too! It’s a truly multigenerational activity. For younger children, we provide closer supervision and smaller cans if available, ensuring everyone gets a chance to be a street artist for a day. It's a fantastic way to bridge age gaps at community events.

Local culture

Surabaya, the "City of Heroes", has a grit and energy that perfectly matches the spirit of graffiti. From the historic streets of the Old City to the modern vibes of the west, street art is increasingly becoming a part of the local urban fabric. We love bringing our workshops here because the local crowd always brings an incredible level of enthusiasm and "Suroboyoan" pride to the canvas.

Fun Fact: Surabaya is home to some of Indonesia's most talented muralists, and the city’s industrial backdrops provide the perfect aesthetic for high-contrast, edgy street art. When we set up here, we often draw inspiration from the city's iconic landmarks like the Suramadu Bridge!
