Frequently asked questions

Is the Penang retreat accessible for people with mobility challenges?

While our workshops are high-energy, they are designed for all mobility levels. We can set up our canvases and gear to accommodate participants with limited mobility. The creative process is inclusive, and we ensure everyone gets the support they need to express themselves comfortably. Just let us know your requirements when booking!

What should we wear to our creative retreat session?

For our Penang retreats, we suggest wearing comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on (just in case!). We provide high-quality protective gear including overalls, masks, and gloves. Don't forget your sunglasses and sunscreen if we are working on one of the city's beautiful outdoor terraces!

Do we need prior experience in street art or painting?

No artistic skill is required at all! That is the magic of our retreat format. Our professional artists guide you through every step, from basic line work to advanced shading. Most of our participants haven't touched a spray can before, yet they always leave with a masterpiece they are genuinely proud of.

Can we choose our own theme or design for the workshop?

Absolutely! We believe in 'Creative Freedom'. While we have many templates and themes to help you get started, we encourage you to follow your inspiration. Whether you want to reflect the heritage of George Town or create something totally abstract, our instructors will help you bring your specific vision to life.

What safety measures do you have in place regarding the paint fumes?

Safety is our top priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide professional-grade FFP2/FFP3 masks for all participants. Our workshops in Penang are typically held in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces to ensure maximum airflow. Your health and comfort are guaranteed throughout the entire creative experience.

What is your cancellation policy for group retreats?

We understand that retreat plans can change. One of the biggest benefits of working with Graffitifun is that we don't require upfront payments. You can settle the bill after the workshop. If you need to reschedule or cancel, just reach out to us as early as possible so we can adjust our artist's schedule.

How long does a typical creative retreat workshop last?

A standard creative retreat workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your large-scale collaborative or individual pieces. We can also adapt the timing to fit your specific itinerary.
