Anti-vandalism graffiti workshop in Gothenburg

Gothenburg is a city defined by its bold character, from the industrial charm of the harbour to the creative pulse of the Haga district. But with great urban energy comes the challenge of illegal tagging. That is where our anti-vandalism graffiti workshop in Gothenburg comes in! We believe that the best way to prevent vandalism is to provide a legitimate, high-octane creative outlet. Our program transforms the urge to "tag" into the skill to "create." Led by professional street artists, your group will learn the difference between eyesores and art, all while getting hands-on with real spray cans in a safe, legal, and insanely fun environment. Whether you are a school, a youth group, or a company looking for a unique team-building event, we turn Gothenburg's walls into a canvas for positive change. Ready to make your mark? Let's get creative! 🎨

How it works

The arrival and meet-up: We meet at one of Gothenburg’s vibrant street art hubs where your lead artist introduces the team and the goals for the day.
Street art vs Vandalism: Kick things off with a punchy discussion about the ethics of graffiti, the importance of legal walls, and the impact of vandalism on the Gothenburg community.
Safety first: Get geared up! We provide professional masks, suits, and gloves so you can focus entirely on the art without getting messy.
Mastering the can: Learn the 'anatomy' of a spray can. Our pros show you how to swap nozzles (caps) for different effects, from thin outlines to fat fills.
Sketching the vision: Grab the markers and plan your mural. We focus on positive messaging and bold designs that enhance the urban environment.
The first layer: Time to spray! Start with the background and 'buffing' to create a clean slate for your creative masterpiece.
Details and highlights: This is where the magic happens. Learn how to add shadows, highlights, and 'force fields' to make your graffiti pop off the wall.
The final reveal: Step back and admire the collective work. It’s a great moment for a group photo and a final reflection on what you’ve achieved together.

Frequently asked questions

Is graffiti legal in Gothenburg?

Gothenburg is actually quite supportive of legal street art, with several designated 'open walls'. However, illegal tagging remains an issue. Our anti-vandalism program in Gothenburg bridges the gap by showing participants exactly where and how they can express themselves legally. We focus on the 'Legal Wall' culture, teaching respect for public property while providing a high-energy outlet for creativity in areas like Magasinsgatan or near the harbour.

Do we need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Whether you are a local school group or a team of colleagues from a Gothenburg tech hub, our professional artists guide you through every step. We start with basic 'can control' and move into complex layering. You will be surprised at how quickly you can create a professional-looking piece of art when you have the right guidance and high-quality Swedish-sourced materials.

What safety measures do you have in place?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with high-quality FFP3 respirators, protective overalls, and gloves to ensure a clean and safe experience. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially equipped indoor spaces in Gothenburg. Our artist-mentors are also trained in safety protocols, ensuring that the only thing you have to worry about is which colour to pick next!

What is the maximum group size?

Our Gothenburg anti-vandalism program is incredibly flexible. We can host small private groups of 10 people or large-scale community events for over 100 participants. For larger groups, we bring in extra graffiti mentors to ensure everyone gets hands-on time with the spray cans. We never want anyone standing around – our goal is to keep the energy high and the paint flowing for the entire duration.

How long does the workshop last?

The workshop usually lasts between 90 minutes and 3 hours. During this time, we cover the history of street art, the difference between vandalism and 'pieces', technique practice, and the creation of a final collaborative mural. We find this timeframe is perfect for keeping everyone engaged without it feeling rushed. If you have a specific schedule in Gothenburg, we can always tweak the timing to fit your day perfectly.

Can we take our artwork home?

While we usually work on large collective walls to foster teamwork and discourage individual 'tagging' on public property, we can arrange for participants to work on individual canvases. This is a popular option for Gothenburg company events, as everyone gets to take a piece of the experience home. Just let us know your preference when booking, and we will make sure we have the right supplies ready for your group.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Gothenburg weather can be unpredictable, but we are prepared! We have several partner indoor locations across the city where we can move the workshop if the rain starts pouring. Alternatively, we can use 100% water-based, low-odour spray paints for indoor sessions, which are eco-friendly and safe. If the weather looks truly terrible, our backup artists and flexible scheduling mean we can usually find a solution that keeps everyone dry and happy.
