Do I need any prior art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely not! Our Lugano workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners who have never held a spray can to seasoned doodlers. Our professional artists guide you through every single step, from basic nozzle control to advanced shading. You'll be amazed at the high-quality piece of art you can produce by the end of the session with just a little bit of expert coaching.🎨

Is the graffiti workshop safe? What should I wear?

We take safety seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. We recommend wearing comfortable 'outdoor' clothes and old trainers just in case. Our spray paints are professional-grade but used in a controlled, safe environment under the watchful eye of our experienced street artists who ensure everyone follows proper safety protocols.💪

How long does a typical session last?

A standard public art workshop in Lugano usually lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety briefing, technique practice on plastic foil or practice walls, and finally, the creation of your main masterpiece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' where energy remains high and creativity really flows.✨

What is the maximum group size for a workshop?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you are a solo traveller looking for a unique experience, a small group of friends, or a large corporate team of 50+, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in additional backup artists from our professional network to ensure everyone gets plenty of 1-on-1 attention and guidance throughout the day.🎉

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes, it is! While we encourage the use of our professional practice walls, we can often arrange for participants to paint on high-quality canvases or boards that you can take home. This makes for a fantastic souvenir of your time in Lugano. If you prefer to work on a larger scale on our designated walls, we’ll make sure to take high-resolution photos for you to keep.📸

How does the payment process work?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'no-stress' booking policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront; you can settle the payment after the workshop is completed. We believe in our service so much that we want you to be 100% satisfied with the experience before you pay. It’s all about trust and ensuring you have a fantastic time first!💰

What happens if the weather is bad on the day?

Lugano is beautiful even in the rain, but spray painting is best done dry. We have access to several sheltered or indoor locations in the Ticino region that allow the creative fun to continue regardless of the weather. If the forecast looks particularly grim, we will coordinate with you to ensure we have a dry spot or reschedule to a time that suits you.🌈

Local culture

Lugano might be famous for its Mediterranean flair and financial district, but it also boasts a vibrant, growing urban art scene. From the legal walls at the Centro Esposizioni to hidden gems in the surrounding districts, the city is embracing the splashes of colour that define modern street art. Our workshops often take place in inspiring locations that capture the unique blend of Swiss precision and Italian passion found in Ticino.

Fun fact: Did you know that Lugano hosts the 'Arte Urbana Lugano' project? Since 2010, they have been transforming grey urban spots into open-air galleries, proving that this elegant city has a real heart for street culture! 🎨

Beyond our workshops, you might want to check out other creative hubs in Switzerland like Zurich or Geneva to see how the street art styles vary across the cantons.
