Is the graffiti workshop in Dortmund safe for tourists?

Dortmund is a safe city, and we keep it that way! We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks, gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. Our instructors are professional artists who prioritise your wellbeing, ensuring everyone follows the safety protocols while having a blast. We use professional-grade spray paint in a controlled, outdoor environment.

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our tourist guests in Dortmund have never touched a spray can before. Our workshops are designed to be beginner-friendly. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create clean lines. By the end of the session, you’ll be amazed at the high-quality piece of art you’ve managed to create with our guidance.

What should I wear to my graffiti session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty. While we provide full-body protective suits and gloves, spray paint can be unpredictable in the wind! If you’re visiting Dortmund as part of a longer trip, don't worry—our gear is very effective at keeping your travel wardrobe pristine. Just bring your enthusiasm and maybe some sunglasses!

How does the payment process work?

We are very flexible! You can pay for your workshop after the session is completed. We believe in the quality of our Dortmund street art experiences, so we don't require upfront payments for most bookings. This gives you peace of mind while planning your holiday. We accept various payment methods, making it easy for international travellers to settle up once the fun is done.

How long does the workshop last?

Our standard workshops in Dortmund typically last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of the local scene, practice your techniques, and complete a final collaborative or individual project. It’s the perfect length to fit into a busy sightseeing itinerary without taking up your whole day, leaving you time to explore the U-Tower or a local brewery afterward.

What happens if it rains or an artist is sick?

Weather in the Ruhr region can be unpredictable! However, we have backup plans and covered locations available to ensure your creative session isn't washed out. Additionally, we have a pool of backup artists ready to step in, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation ruining your holiday plans. Your creative experience is our top priority.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

While we usually work on large walls for the authentic experience, we can arrange for you to paint on individual canvases that you can take home. If you're travelling light, many tourists prefer the 'big wall' experience and simply take home incredible photos and videos of their work. Let us know your preference when booking so we can prepare the right materials for you!

Local culture

Dortmund is a city that wears its heart on its sleeve—and its art on its walls. From the massive murals at the Dortmunder U to the hidden gems in the Kreuzviertel, the city is a playground for urban expression. The industrial backdrop of former steelworks and coal mines provides the perfect 'gritty-meets-pretty' aesthetic for a graffiti session. Unlike the polished galleries of other cities, Dortmund’s street art feels raw and authentic.

Fun Fact: Dortmund is home to the 'Union Living Monument', where street art and industrial history collide. The city actually encourages urban art as a way to revitalise old industrial spaces! 🏗️

When you join us, you're not just painting; you're becoming part of the Ruhr region's cultural evolution. Our local artists will share stories about the pieces you see around the city, giving you an insider's perspective that you won't find in any guidebook.

Pricing

Our graffiti experiences are designed to be accessible for every traveller. Prices vary depending on the length of the session and the number of people in your group.

Price Range: €30 - €65 per person

We believe in total transparency and flexibility, which is why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy for your peace of mind. No hidden fees, just pure creative fun!
