  2. Street Art History: Get a quick, engaging briefing on the evolution of graffiti from New York subways to the streets of Slovakia.

  6. Filling & Fading: Learn how to fill large areas efficiently and how to create those iconic graffiti gradients and colour blends.
  7. The Power Line: Add the final "cut-backs" and sharp outlines that make your artwork pop and look professionally finished.
  8. Photo Op: Strike a pose in front of your completed mural for the ultimate Banska Bystrica holiday photo!

Local culture

Street art in Banska Bystrica

Banska Bystrica has a fascinating dual identity. Known for its gorgeous SNP Square and its pivotal role in the Slovak National Uprising, the city also boasts a creative, youthful energy thanks to its thriving student population. While the historic centre is all about gothic and renaissance architecture, the surrounding areas and underpasses serve as a canvas for local "writer" culture. Our workshops often take place near spots that bridge the gap between the old city and modern urban life.

Fun Fact: Banska Bystrica was once one of the most important mining towns in Europe, known as the "Copper City." Today, we’re replacing the copper tools with spray cans to mine for your hidden creative talents! 🎨
