Do we need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely not! Our Lugano university workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our pro artists will guide you through every stage, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering 'fades' and 'outlines'. Most students are amazed at what they can produce in just one session. It is all about the process, the music, and the creative energy of the group.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes high-quality spray cans in a huge range of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and masks. We also provide the canvases or boards you will be painting on. Just bring your enthusiasm and perhaps some old shoes you don't mind getting a little dusty!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paints and provide high-quality respiratory masks and protective gear for every student. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor locations or specially ventilated indoor studios in Lugano. Your lead artist will also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can.

What happens if it rains on the day of our event?

Lugano’s weather is usually beautiful, but we always have a plan B. We work with several indoor creative spaces around the city. If you’ve booked an outdoor session and the weather turns, we can often relocate to a sheltered spot or an indoor studio. Plus, we have backup artists on standby to ensure your event always goes ahead as planned.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are extremely flexible! Whether you are a small student committee of 10 people or a massive freshers' week group of over 100, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in additional professional artists to ensure everyone gets personal 'hands-on' time and instruction. We scale the materials and space to fit your specific needs.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard university workshop in Lugano typically lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a technique demonstration, individual practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you have a tighter schedule for a specific campus event, we can tailor the duration to fit.

How does the payment process work for university groups?

We make the booking process as stress-free as possible for student unions and university departments. There is no upfront payment required; you simply pay after the workshop is completed. We accept various payment methods, and you can easily request a custom quote via our website to get an exact price for your specific group size.

Local culture

Lugano isn't just about posh watches and lakeside strolls; it has a growing urban vibe that blends perfectly with its Mediterranean flair. While the city is famous for the LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura, we believe the best art happens on the streets! The local street art scene is small but passionate, often found in the hidden corners and underpasses around the city. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Lugano is often called the "Monte Carlo of Switzerland"? But beneath that polished surface, the student population keeps the city's energy young and rebellious—the perfect atmosphere for a graffiti revolution! 🚀

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as transparent as our paint is bold! We want to make street art accessible for students across Ticino.

Price Range: CHF 40 - CHF 85 per person

Note: Final pricing depends on your group size, location, and the specific materials required for your custom project.
