Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Kyoto have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the absolute basics, from how to hold the nozzle to controlling pressure. We provide a safe, supportive environment where the goal is to have fun and express yourself, not to produce a museum masterpiece on your first try. You will be amazed at what you can create by the end of the session!

Is the workshop safe and what should I wear?

Safety is our priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We use spray paints that comply with safety standards, and our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas. Our instructors give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a worry-free environment for kids, teens, and adults alike. Plus, we always have backup artists ready to ensure the event goes smoothly!

How long does a typical session last?

The standard public art workshop in Kyoto lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your large-scale piece. If you are looking for a more intensive masterclass, we can customize the duration to fit your schedule. It’s the perfect length to stay energized without getting tired.

Where in Kyoto do the workshops take place?

We are flexible! While we often host workshops at dedicated creative spaces in Kyoto, we can also bring the experience to you if you have a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated indoor space. If you don't have a location, don't worry—we have partnerships with several cool spots across the city that offer the perfect "street" vibe for your creative session. Just let us know your preference during booking.

What is included in the price of the workshop?

No need to worry about hidden costs. The price includes everything: high-quality spray paint in a rainbow of colors, professional-grade caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear (suits, gloves, masks), and the canvases or surfaces you'll be painting on. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and perhaps a camera to document your progress! We handle all the setup and the messy cleanup afterwards.

What is your cancellation and payment policy?

We understand that plans can change. One of the best things about Graffitifun is that we don't require upfront payments for most bookings—you pay after the workshop is complete! Additionally, we have a "no-cancellation" guarantee thanks to our network of backup artists. If an instructor falls ill, another pro steps in so your event in Kyoto is never ruined. We focus on 100% satisfaction!

What happens if it rains on the day of my workshop?

Kyoto is a city of seasons, and we work around them! Most of our workshops are held in covered or indoor-outdoor hybrid spaces to protect you from rain or the summer heat. If the weather is truly uncooperative and the location is outdoors, we will work with you to reschedule or move to one of our indoor partner venues. We make sure the creative flow never stops, regardless of the clouds!

Local culture

Kyoto might be famous for Kiyomizu-dera and Gion, but beneath the surface of traditional tea houses lies a burgeoning contemporary art community. In neighborhoods like Teramachi, "street" style is influencing local boutiques and galleries. Our workshops bridge the gap between Kyoto's disciplined craftsmanship and the raw freedom of graffiti. We celebrate the city's aesthetic of 'Wabi-sabi' while adding a modern, urban twist.

Fun fact: Kyoto is home to several "Art Hotels" where rooms are painted entirely by local street artists, proving that the city's love for murals is growing every day! 🏯🔥

Pricing

Our Kyoto graffiti experiences are designed to be accessible and fun for everyone. We believe in transparent pricing and high value!
