Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our workshop participants in Groningen have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who will guide you from the very first line to the final flourish. We focus on fun and creativity rather than technical perfection, ensuring everyone leaves with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of. You will be amazed at what you can create in just a few hours.

Is the paint dangerous, and what should I wear?

We provide all the necessary safety gear, including high-quality FFP3 face masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. However, we always recommend wearing 'work clothes' or shoes you don't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on, just in case. Street art can be a bit messy, but that is half the fun! We handle all the prep and cleanup so you can focus on the art.

Is this workshop suitable for children?

Yes, our basic tourist workshops are designed for ages 6 and up. We use smaller cans for younger participants that are easier for little hands to handle. It is a fantastic family activity that bridges the generation gap—grandparents and grandkids often have a blast competing to see who can make the brightest tag! For teenagers, it's the ultimate 'cool' holiday activity that looks great on their social feeds.

Where exactly in Groningen do the workshops take place?

Groningen has some fantastic legal graffiti zones, but we also have indoor options available for when the Dutch weather doesn't cooperate. We'll confirm the exact location based on your group size and the specific date. Most of our locations are easily accessible from the Grote Markt or the central train station via bike or public transport, keeping you close to the city's vibrant heart.

How long does the experience take?

A standard tourist workshop usually lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demo, practice sessions, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you are in a rush or want a deeper dive, we can adjust the timing to fit your travel itinerary. It is the perfect afternoon break between visiting the Martinitoren and hitting the local cafes.

How does the payment work?

We are so confident you will have a blast that we don't require upfront payments for most bookings. You can pay after the workshop concludes. We accept various payment methods for your convenience. This takes the stress out of planning your trip to Groningen—simply book your spot, turn up, and get ready to spray! Our goal is 100% satisfaction, and our backup artist system ensures your session never gets cancelled.

Local culture

Groningen is a city that breathes youth and rebellion, largely thanks to its massive student population and the legendary Groninger Museum, which sparked international art debates for decades. The street art scene here is a hidden gem, tucked away in spots like the Ebbingekwartier and along the canals. While Amsterdam takes the fame, Groningen offers a more authentic, gritty, and welcoming environment for emerging artists.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Groningen is home to some of the oldest legal graffiti walls in the Netherlands? The city has long embraced urban art as a way to keep its centuries-old streets feeling fresh and modern! 🚲

Our workshops often take place near these creative hubs, allowing you to feel the pulse of the city's local culture. You'll move beyond the Grote Markt and discover the "Reitdiephaven" vibes or the industrial charm of the Suikerunie terrain, making your holiday photos stand out from the crowd.

Pricing

Our workshops offer incredible value for a premium local experience. Because every group is unique, our pricing is flexible:

Standard price: €25 - €55 per person

The final price depends on your group size, the chosen location, and any special extras you might want to add (like canvas keepsakes or drinks). The best part? You don't have to pay until the workshop is over!
