Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical graffiti workshop last?

Most of our cultural graffiti workshops in Bern take between 90 minutes and 3 hours. This duration is perfect for learning the history of the movement, mastering basic spray techniques, and completing a collective masterpiece. We can adjust the timing to fit your specific event schedule if you have other activities planned throughout the day.

Is the workshop safe for beginners and kids?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and overalls to all participants. Our professional instructors are experts at managing groups and ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly. We also use low-odour, professional-grade spray paint to ensure a comfortable and safe creative environment for everyone involved.

What materials do we need to bring along?

We take care of everything so you don't have to worry. We provide the spray cans, caps, protective gear, and the canvases or surfaces to paint on. If your event is outdoors and there's no wall available, we even bring mobile 'plastic-foil' walls. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm and some comfortable clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on.

Where in Bern do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible when it comes to locations in Bern. We can host the event at various legal street art spots around the city, or we can come to your specific venue. If you have a private courtyard or an indoor hall with good ventilation, we can set up our mobile walls there. We always help you find the most suitable spot.

What happens if the weather is bad or an artist is sick?

We have a 'no cancellations' policy powered by our extensive network of artists. If an artist falls ill, we have backup professionals ready to step in. You also don't need to pay anything upfront; the payment is handled after the workshop is completed. This ensures you can book your cultural event with total peace of mind.

Why is graffiti a good choice for a cultural event?

Street art is a fantastic way to explore Swiss culture and modern expression. It encourages teamwork, breaks down social barriers, and allows participants to leave a temporary but impactful mark on their environment. In a city like Bern, which values both tradition and innovation, it’s a brilliant way to bridge the gap between classic art and modern urban life.
