Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for participants with special needs?

Yes, safety is our absolute priority. We use low-odour spray cans and provide high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves. Our instructors in Brussels are specially trained to supervise participants with various needs, ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly and stays in a safe, controlled environment throughout the creative process.

Can the workshop take place at our own location?

We are incredibly flexible. Whether you prefer an outdoor spot at a legal graffiti wall in Brussels or an indoor session at your facility, we can make it work. We bring all the necessary floor protection and ventilation equipment for indoor workshops to ensure a mess-free and comfortable experience for everyone involved.

Do you have experience working with different types of disabilities?

Absolutely! We believe art is for everyone. Our Brussels artists are experienced in adapting their teaching methods for individuals with physical disabilities, learning difficulties, or sensory sensitivities. We focus on what each person *can* do, using adaptive tools or techniques to ensure they feel successful and proud of their work.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard special needs session in Brussels typically lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours. This timeframe is usually perfect to keep engagement high without causing fatigue. However, we can easily shorten or lengthen the session based on the specific energy levels and attention spans of your unique group.

Do participants need any previous artistic experience?

No prior art skills are needed at all! Our workshops are designed to be accessible for complete beginners. We guide participants through simple shapes and filling techniques, allowing them to express themselves freely. It’s more about the sensory experience and the joy of creation than following strict artistic rules.

What should participants wear to the workshop?

Clothing that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on is best. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be messy. We recommend comfortable, closed-toe shoes. We provide everything else, including the paint, caps, and expert guidance to ensure a fantastic day in Brussels.
