Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have any prior artistic experience?

Absolutely not! Our retreat workshops in Salzburg are designed for everyone, from total beginners to 'secret' sketches. Most of our participants haven't picked up a spray can since school – if ever! Our professional artists guide you through every single step, ensuring you feel confident and capable. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can create something impressive with the right techniques and a bit of encouragement.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of 'character' on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks, paint can occasionally find its way onto sleeves or shoes. Think casual, practical, and ready for action! If we are working outdoors, please check the Salzburg weather forecast and bring an extra layer if it looks like there might be a chill in the mountain air.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide professional-grade FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you aren't breathing in fumes, along with nitrile gloves and protective suits. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. Our artist-instructors also give a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can, teaching you the correct way to handle the equipment to ensure a fun, accident-free environment for everyone involved.

How long does a typical retreat session last?

Our retreat workshops usually last between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for the clinical 'learning' bit, plenty of practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' where people feel fully immersed in the creative flow without feeling rushed. If you have a specific schedule or want a full-day intensive retreat, we can certainly customise the timing to fit your group's needs perfectly.

What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor workshop?

Salzburg is beautiful but can be rainy! If the weather doesn't cooperate for an outdoor session, we have several options. We can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor studio space. Because we have a large network of artists and backup plans in place, we rarely have to cancel. We’ll keep a close eye on the clouds and coordinate with you to ensure your creative flow isn't interrupted.

Can we take our artwork home after the session?

Of course! Creating a piece of art is a personal journey, and we want you to have a memento of your retreat. Depending on the setup, you’ll either be working on a large shared mural (perfect for photos!) or individual canvases that you can take home. If you're travelling, we can discuss options for smaller, portable boards so you can easily carry your Salzburg street art memory back with you in your luggage.

How do I book and do I need to pay upfront?

Booking is simple and stress-free. You can start by using our online Cost Calculator or Tag Creator to get inspired. Once you're ready, just send us a request through our contact form. We don't require upfront payments – you pay after the workshop is complete! We also have backup artists on standby, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation. We make the admin side as smooth as the paint!
