Do we need any previous art experience to join?

Not at all! Our Bologna workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through the process, from learning how to hold a spray can to mastering complex layering techniques. We focus on the creative process and team bonding, so even if you've never picked up a marker, you'll leave with a masterpiece and a new set of skills.

What safety measures and gear do you provide?

We take safety seriously. We provide all participants with high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. The workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated legal graffiti zones in Bologna. Our instructors provide a full safety briefing before any cans are shaken, ensuring a responsible and fun environment for everyone.

How long does a typical university session last?

The standard university workshop lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the scene, technique practice, and the creation of a large-scale collaborative mural. If you have a specific schedule or a tight deadline between lectures, we can adapt the timing to fit your university society's needs.

Can you host workshops at other Italian campuses?

Absolutely! We love traveling across Italy. While Bologna is our base for this experience, we can definitely organise sessions in Rome, Milan, Naples, or Turin. We can also set up mobile 'graffiti walls' if there isn't a legal spray wall available on your specific campus, making sure the art comes to you.

What happens if the weather in Bologna is bad?

In the event of heavy rain, we have a few options. We can either move the workshop to a sheltered outdoor location, reschedule to another date that suits your group, or use our backup indoor 'canvas' system using water-based, low-odour pins if the venue allows it. We always keep a close eye on the Bolognese weather forecast!

Do we have to pay in advance?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'no cure, no pay' philosophy. You don't have to pay a single Euro upfront. We invoice you after the workshop has been successfully completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. This takes the financial stress out of organising events for student unions or large university groups.

From the political murals of Via del Pratello to the hidden gems in the university district around Via Zamboni, street art is woven into the very fabric of the city's identity.
