Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be artistic to join the graffiti workshop?

Absolutely not! Our Lausanne street art festival workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned doodlers. Our pro artists will guide you through the basics of handling a spray can, from simple lines to complex fills. We provide all the gear and a 'no-pressure' environment where the focus is firmly on having a blast and trying something new. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before they meet us!

Is the paint safe and do you provide protective gear?

We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality FFP3 respiratory masks, protective overalls, and gloves to keep you and your clothes clean. We primarily work in well-ventilated outdoor festival spaces. Our artists give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring everyone knows how to use the equipment responsibly. We use professional-grade paint that is designed for ease of use while maintaining vibrant, long-lasting colours.

What is the ideal group size for a festival workshop?

In Lausanne, we generally work with groups of 10 to 100+ people. For festivals, we can run rotating sessions where hundreds of people get a chance to contribute to a massive communal wall throughout the day. If you have a smaller private group, we can certainly accommodate that too. The more people involved, the more vibrant and diverse the final street art masterpiece becomes! Just let us know your expected numbers.

Do I need to pay anything upfront to book?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'play now, pay later' policy. You don't need to make any upfront payments to secure your booking for the Lausanne session. We believe in the quality of our workshops, so you simply pay after the event is completed. This makes the planning process much less stressful for festival organisers and private groups alike. We'll send over an invoice once the paint has dried!

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

If the Swiss weather doesn't cooperate, we have several options. We can often set up under large gazebos or temporary structures common at Lausanne festivals. If the weather is truly extreme, we have backup indoor locations nearby or can reschedule the event. Because we have multiple backup artists available, we are extremely flexible with scheduling and rarely have to cancel an event entirely due to logistics.

How long does a typical street art session last?

Our standard festival workshops usually last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a demo, some practice, and the creation of a full-scale piece. However, for larger Lausanne public events, we can offer 'drop-in' style workshops that run all day, allowing people to contribute for 15-20 minutes at a time. We can tailor the duration to fit your specific festival schedule perfectly.
