Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical festival workshop session last?

Most of our street art festival workshops in Amsterdam take between 90 minutes and 2 hours. However, for large-scale public events, we can run 'drop-in' sessions where people participate for 15-20 minutes at a time throughout the entire day. We are fully flexible to match your festival's specific schedule and flow, ensuring everyone gets a chance to spray.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival visitors?

Absolutely. Safety is our top priority. We provide high-grade FFP3 respirators, gloves, and protective overalls to all participants. Our professional artists also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-odour, professional-quality paints, and we always ensure the workshop area is well-ventilated or outdoors to keep everyone breathing easy while they create.

Do you provide workshops at festivals outside of Amsterdam?

Yes! We regularly provide street art experiences for festivals in Rotterdam, Utrecht, and The Hague too. Whether your event is in the heart of Amsterdam or at a remote location in the Netherlands, our team travels with all the necessary equipment, including mobile graffiti walls, to bring the creative vibe directly to your festival grounds.

Why should I add a graffiti workshop to my festival lineup?

A street art workshop is an incredible addition to any festival! It offers an interactive, hands-on experience that sets your event apart from standard food-and-music lineups. It’s highly photogenic—perfect for social media sharing—and gives attendees a tangible sense of accomplishment. Plus, the resulting artwork serves as a vibrant, evolving decoration for your festival site throughout the day.

What is the maximum number of participants you can handle?

We can accommodate almost any group size. For small boutique festivals, we might have 15 people painting at once. For massive events like those at NDSM-werf, we can set up multiple large stations to handle hundreds of participants throughout the day. Don't worry about the crowd; we bring enough backup artists to ensure the flow remains smooth and everyone gets guidance.

Do I need to pay a deposit when booking for a festival?

We don't require any upfront payment! You can book your festival experience with confidence, knowing you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed. This reflects our commitment to 100% satisfaction and ensures a stress-free planning process for festival organisers. We believe our quality speaks for itself, so we're happy to work on this trust-based system.

Do participants need prior artistic experience?

Not at all. Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artist coaches are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, fun steps. We guide festival-goers through the basics of cap control, fading, and outlining. Most people are genuinely surprised at the high-quality piece they manage to create by the end of their session!
