Frequently asked questions

Do I need prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before. Our Aarhus workshops are designed to be inclusive, starting with basic safety and technique. Our professional street artists guide you through Every step, ensuring you feel confident and creative regardless of your previous art experience. It is all about having fun and expressing yourself in a supportive, relaxed environment.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a complete street art experience. This includes high-quality spray paint in a variety of vibrant colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective overalls, gloves, and high-grade respiratory masks. We also provide the canvas or wall space for your creation. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you do not mind getting a bit of dust on.

Where in Aarhus do the workshops take place?

In Aarhus, we operate at several vibrant locations, including legal graffiti zones and dedicated creative spaces. If you have a specific venue in mind for your cultural event, we are often able to bring the workshop to you using our mobile setups and protective floor coverings. During the booking process, we will coordinate the best location based on your group size and the local weather.

How do you ensure the safety of the participants?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade FFP3 masks to protect against fumes, along with gloves and protective suits. Our artists are highly trained in site safety and group management. Furthermore, we always use high-quality, low-pressure spray cans which are much easier and safer to handle for beginners. We also have backup artists available to ensure your event always goes ahead as planned.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Our standard cultural workshops typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for an introduction, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your masterpiece. If you are looking for a more intensive experience or have a specific schedule for a larger festival or event, we can easily adapt the duration to fit your needs perfectly.

Is there an upfront payment required?

Yes! We believe in the quality of our workshops, so we do not require any upfront payment or deposits for most bookings. You can book your date with confidence, knowing you only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any money changes hands, making the planning process stress-free for your event.

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

Aarhus can be a bit breezy and wet at times! If the weather looks bad for an outdoor session, we have several options. We can often move the event to a covered location or an indoor space with proper ventilation. Alternatively, because we have a flexible team and backup artists, we can often reschedule to a better day or time that suits your group's itinerary.
