Frequently asked questions

Where in Amsterdam do these charity workshops take place?

Most of our Amsterdam charity workshops are held outdoors at legal graffiti zones such as NDSM Wharf or Flevopark, providing an authentic street art atmosphere. However, if your event requires an indoor venue or a specific location for a fundraiser, we can set up temporary plastic walls or use large canvases at almost any venue in the city to ensure your project runs smoothly and safely.

Do we need any previous art experience to participate?

No prior artistic skill is required at all! Our professional graffiti artists are experts at guiding beginners of all ages. We start with the absolute basics, from how to hold the spray can to primary spray techniques. By the time the session ends, your team or community group will have created a collaborative mural that looks professional and impactful, regardless of their starting point.

What safety measures do you take during the event?

Safety is our number one priority during every fundraiser. We provide high-quality FFP3 respirators, protective overalls, and gloves to all participants. Our spray paints are low-odour and we always ensure proper ventilation, especially if we are working on a custom set-up indoors. Our artists are trained in safety protocols to make sure everyone has a fun, worry-free experience while supporting a good cause.

Can we keep the artwork to auction it for our cause?

Absolutely. For charity events, we often recommend working on large high-quality canvases or wooden panels. Once the workshop is finished and the paint is dry, these artworks serve as incredible items for a live auction or can be donated to decorate the headquarters of the NGO you are supporting. This adds a lasting physical legacy to your fundraising efforts in Amsterdam.

How long does a typical graffiti charity session last?

Our workshops are designed to be flexible. For a standard charity event, we recommend between 1.5 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for an introduction, technique practice, and the creation of a final collaborative masterpiece. We can also adapt the schedule into a 'drop-in' format if your fundraiser has a larger festival-style programme with people coming and going throughout the day.

What is included in the price of the workshop?

We provide everything needed for a successful street art event. This includes a wide range of premium spray colours, caps, protective gear, and the painting surface (whether that’s a legal wall or mobile canvases). You don't need to worry about the logistics; we bring the materials to you and handle the set-up and clean-up, so you can focus on your fundraising goals.

How does the payment process work for non-profits?

We understand that fundraising budgets can be tight, so we offer a transparent 'pay after the workshop' policy. There is no upfront payment required to secure your booking. This gives your organisation peace of mind and flexibility. We will send the invoice once the event is successfully completed, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the impact and engagement of the workshop.
