What should our group wear to the graffiti workshop?

For youth projects in Basel, we suggest wearing old clothes and trainers that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, graffiti is an active and sometimes messy art form. It's best to be comfortable so you can focus entirely on your masterpiece without worrying about a few stray drips of spray paint.

Is the workshop safe for teenagers and children?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority at Graffitifun. We provide all participants with professional-grade FFP3 respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits. Our experienced artist tutors lead a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring that every young person understands how to use the equipment responsibly and safely throughout the Basel session.

Where in Basel do the workshops take place?

We are incredibly flexible. We can host your youth project at one of our dedicated partner street art locations in Basel, which offer a great urban atmosphere. Alternatively, if you have a suitable outdoor space or a well-ventilated indoor area at your youth centre or school, we can bring the entire workshop experience directly to you.

How long does a typical youth graffiti session last?

Standard youth project workshops in Basel typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough time for the initial brainstorming, learning basic techniques, and the final execution of the mural. However, we can easily adapt the duration to fit your specific schedule or curriculum requirements—just let us know what works best for your group.

How do we book and when do we need to pay?

Booking is easy and stress-free. You can contact us through our website to request a quote. We don't require any upfront payment; you simply pay after the workshop is completed. We also have a network of backup artists available, so you never have to worry about last-minute cancellations ruining your scheduled youth event.

Do the participants need previous art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from complete beginners to budding artists. Our tutors are experts at breaking down complex street art techniques into simple, manageable steps. We focus on building confidence and encouraging individual expression, so every participant walks away feeling proud of what they have created.

The experience

Choosing a graffiti workshop for your youth project is a powerful way to bridge the gap between traditional art and modern urban culture. Our sessions in Basel offer numerous benefits:

Boosts self-esteem: Seeing a large-scale piece of art they created themselves gives young people a massive sense of achievement.
Promotes teamwork: Many of our projects involve creating a collaborative mural, requiring communication and shared goals.
Safe environment: We provide a legal and controlled outlet for expression, guided by professional artists who value safety.
No-risk booking: With no upfront payment and our backup artist guarantee, your project is in safe hands.
Cultural connection: We help youth connect with Basel's rich artistic identity in a hands-on, tangible way.

Step by step

Intro and safety: We start with a warm welcome and a vital safety briefing on how to use spray cans correctly.
Concept brainstorming: The group works together to choose a theme or message for their collective mural.
Sketching the vision: Participants grab markers and paper to plan their designs before touching the wall.
First lines: Under the guidance of our pros, the youth learn how to create basic outlines and shapes.
Filling and blending: We teach techniques for smooth colour transitions and solid fills to make the art pop.
Highlighting and details: Participants add the 'final touches' like shines, shadows, and sharp outlines.
The big reveal: We take a group photo with the finished artwork—a proud moment for every young artist.
Clean up: We ensure the site is left tidy, leaving only the vibrant memories of the day behind.

Local culture

Basel is a city that truly breathes art, from the prestigious Art Basel fair to the hidden gems tucked away in the Kleinbasel district. The city’s relationship with street art is one of respect and evolution, making it an incredible classroom for young people. When we run our projects near the Rhine or in the urban hubs of the city, we tap into that local energy. We often reference Basel's unique 'Lycée' graffiti history and the legal walls that have allowed the scene to flourish. By connecting youth projects to the local landscape, we help participants see their city through a different lens—one where they are not just observers, but active contributors to Basel's ever-changing visual story.

Pricing

Our youth project pricing is designed to be accessible and transparent for community organisations in Basel. Prices typically range from CHF40 to CHF85 per person. This variation depends on the number of participants, the duration of the workshop, and the amount of materials required for your specific project. We believe in our service so much that we offer a 100% satisfaction focus and no upfront payment—you only pay after the art is finished!
