Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for people with special needs?

Absolutely! We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to all participants. All our spray paints are chosen for their ease of use, and our professional artists provide constant supervision and support. We ensure the environment is well-ventilated and accessible, allowing everyone to focus entirely on the joy of creating art without any worries about their well-being.

What should participants wear to the session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide protective gear like overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a messy business! In Ljubljana's varied weather, it's also a good idea to bring an extra layer if we are working in a covered outdoor area. We'll handle everything else, from the cans to the canvases.

Where do the workshops usually take place in Ljubljana?

Ideally, we look for outdoor spaces with overhead cover or accessible indoor studios with excellent ventilation. In Ljubljana, we have several partner locations that are fully wheelchair accessible and have appropriate facilities. If you have a specific venue in mind, perhaps at your own facility, our team can come to you! We just need a flat surface and permission to use the space for our creative session.

How long does a typical workshop last?

Our workshops in Ljubljana are incredibly flexible. A standard introductory session usually lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours. However, we can shorten this to 1 hour for groups with shorter attention spans or extend it to 3 hours for those who want to dive deep into complex murals. We move at your pace, ensuring no one feels rushed and everyone has a chance to finish their masterpiece.

Do we need any previous artistic experience?

Not at all! Our Special Needs Program is designed for all skill levels, especially beginners. Our artists are experts at breaking down the 'can control' techniques into simple, manageable steps. Whether you can draw a straight line or have never held a spray can before, we guarantee you'll create something you are proud of by the end of the day. It's about expression, not perfection!

Can caregivers or support staff participate as well?

Yes, we love making this a team effort! While our artists are there to lead and assist, we welcome and encourage staff, caregivers, or family members to join in. It’s a fantastic way to bond and share a unique experience. We find that when caregivers participate, it creates a wonderful shared memory and a supportive atmosphere that helps the participants feel even more confident in their creative choices.
