Do I need to have any artistic skills to participate?

No prior experience is necessary! Our workshops are specifically designed for beginners and tourists who have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists lead you through every step, from basic line work to advanced shading techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created, even if you don't consider yourself 'artistic'. Everyone leaves with a smile and a sense of achievement!

Is the workshop safe and what protective gear is provided?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in a well-ventilated environment. Our instructors are experienced in managing groups and will give you a full safety briefing before any cans are shaken. It's a clean, safe, and controlled way to experience the 'edgy' side of street art.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard tourist graffiti workshop in Nizhny Novgorod typically lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the local scene, a practice session on the boards, and the final creation of your own artwork. If you have a larger group or want a more in-depth masterclass, we can easily extend the duration to suit your schedule.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We suggest wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide full protective suits and gloves, street art can occasionally be a bit messy. If you're visiting during the Nizhny winter, make sure to layer up as some of our cool industrial spaces can be a bit chilly before the creative energy heats up the room!

Can children join the workshop?

Absolutely! We love hosting families. Graffiti is a fantastic way for kids and parents to bond over a shared creative project. We usually recommend a minimum age of about 6 or 7 so they can comfortably handle the spray cans, but we can adapt our teaching style for all ages. It’s a highlight for many families visiting Russia as it offers a break from traditional museum tours.

What is the maximum group size?

We are very flexible! You can book for a solo adventure, a couple's creative date, or a large tour group. Our pricing is tiered based on the size of your party and the specific setup you require. Because we want to ensure the best experience for everyone, we recommend getting in touch for a bespoke quote that fits your travel budget and group needs perfectly.

Do I need to pay in advance to secure my booking?

Great news—you don't have to pay anything upfront! We believe in the quality of our workshops, so you only pay after the session is complete. This gives you total peace of mind while planning your trip to Nizhny Novgorod. Simply reach out to us to check availability for your dates, and we will get everything organised for your arrival.

Local culture

Nizhny Novgorod is widely considered the street art capital of Russia. Unlike the polished galleries of Moscow, the art here is raw, intellectual, and deeply woven into the city's wooden architecture and industrial heritage. Every summer, the city hosts renowned street art festivals that draw talent from across the globe, turning the narrow alleys and crumbling brick walls into an open-air museum. 🎨

Fun Fact: Many of the artworks in Nizhny Novgorod are hidden in "secret" courtyards. Locals call this 'looking for the soul of the city'—a treasure hunt where you never know if you'll find a giant mural or a tiny, intricate stencil around the next corner!

By joining our workshop, you're not just a tourist; you're stepping into a community that values self-expression and urban rejuvenation. We'll show you the spots that aren't in the guidebooks and teach you the styles that define the 'Nizhny School' of graffiti. 🔥
