Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior drawing or painting experience?

No previous experience is needed at all! Our professional artists specialize in teaching beginners. We start with the absolute basics, from how to hold the spray can to controlling pressure for different line widths. By the time the festival atmosphere kicks in, you'll be amazed at how quickly you pick up the techniques. Our goal is to make sure everyone feels like a pro by the end of the session. ✨

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and footwear covers to keep your outfit safe. However, spray paint is permanent and can linger in the air, so we strongly recommend wearing 'old' clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a little dusty. It’s better to be safe and comfortable while you're deep in the creative zone at the festival! 🎨

Is the workshop safe for children and beginners?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you aren't inhaling any fumes. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated street art zones in Ghent. Our instructors are also trained to supervise the use of spray cans safely, making this a fun and secure environment for all ages. 💪

What materials are included in the workshop package?

Everything is included in the price! We provide the spray cans in a huge variety of colours, protective gear (overalls, gloves, masks), professional guidance from local artists, and the surface you’ll be painting on (canvases or boards). You don’t need to bring a single thing except your enthusiasm and maybe a camera to capture your masterpiece! 📸

What happens if it rains on the day of the festival?

If the Ghent weather doesn't cooperate, don't worry! We often have covered outdoor locations or indoor alternatives available to keep the festival vibes going. Our team stays in close contact with you leading up to the event. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never have to cancel, ensuring your street art experience happens rain or shine. 🌧️

Is graffiti legal in Ghent?

Ghent has a very progressive 'gedoogzone' policy, meaning there are legal graffiti walls (like the famous Werregarenstraatje) where street art is encouraged. For our workshops, we always operate in 100% legal zones or on mobile walls we set up ourselves. We teach the difference between illegal vandalism and the beautiful art of graffiti, respecting the city's heritage while celebrating its modern culture. 🏛️
