Do I need to be an artist to join a graffiti workshop?

Absolutely not! Our Surabaya workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners who have never touched a spray can to experienced doodlers. Our pro artists will walk you through every step, starting with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. You’ll be amazed at the masterpiece you can create by the end of the session with just a little guidance and encouragement.

Is the workshop safe and what protective gear is provided?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paints in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying, ensuring a fun and hazard-free environment for creators of all ages in City of Heroes.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A standard public art session in Surabaya usually lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 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 have a specific schedule or a larger group, we can customise the duration to fit your needs perfectly!

What should I wear to my graffiti workshop in Surabaya?

We suggest wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide full protective overalls, graffiti can sometimes be a messy business. Avoid your Sunday best or expensive designer trainers. Since Surabaya can be quite warm, breathable fabrics are your best friend during our outdoor street art sessions.

What kind of surface will we be painting on?

We use a variety of surfaces depending on the location and project. This can range from large wooden panels and mobile cellophane walls (wrap-around art) to legal public walls or even canvases that you can take home. In Surabaya, we often use flexible setups that allow us to bring the workshop to your specific location or a scenic outdoor spot.

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

If it’s just a light drizzle, we can often continue under cover or using gazebos. In the event of heavy tropical rain—which we know can happen in East Java—we will work with you to reschedule the session or move it to a suitable indoor or sheltered location. We have backup plans and artists ready to ensure your event goes ahead smoothly.

Local culture

Surabaya is a city defined by its resilient spirit and "Arek-Arek Suroboyo" pride, and this energy is spilling over into a thriving local street art scene. While famous for its historical monuments, the backstreets and creative districts are increasingly becoming galleries for local muralists. Our workshops tap into this local 'berani' (brave) attitude, encouraging participants to express themselves boldly.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Surabaya's name is derived from the mythical battle between a shark (Suro) and a crocodile (Boyo)? These powerful symbols often feature in local street art across the city! 🦈🐊

We love hosting sessions near the city’s iconic landmarks or in the evolving industrial spaces that provide the perfect gritty backdrop for an authentic graffiti experience. Whether you're in South Surabaya or the city centre, the local vibe always adds an extra layer of inspiration to your art.
