Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

Maribor’s street art scene is incredibly beginner-friendly! You don’t need any prior drawing or painting experience to join our festival workshop. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, from holding the spray can correctly to creating crisp lines and smooth fills. We focus on the fun and creative process, ensuring everyone leaves with a piece of art they are proud of. It is all about expressing yourself!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for everyone?

We take safety very seriously at every festival event. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including gloves, masks (respirators), and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. Our spray paints are selected for their quality and safety standards. Additionally, our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a worry-free environment where you can focus entirely on your creative flow.

How long does the graffiti session last?

The workshop experience typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on time for you to complete your masterpiece. If you are part of a larger festival schedule, we can often adapt the timing to fit the event's flow. It's the perfect amount of time to get 'in the zone' without feeling rushed.

What should I wear to the street art festival?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we do provide protective overalls and gear, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto sleeves or shoes if you get particularly enthusiastic! Since Maribor's festivals are often outdoors, check the weather forecast and dress in layers so you stay comfortable while working on your mural.

Is there an age limit for the graffiti experience?

Standard workshops are designed for participants aged 8 and up, as handling the spray cans requires a certain level of hand strength and coordination. However, for younger kids at festivals, we often set up special 'canvas' areas or use water-based markers so they can still join the fun. It’s a fantastic family-friendly activity that engages teenagers and adults alike, making it a highlight for all generations attending.

Can I book a private workshop for a group?

Absolutely! While we love the energy of festival crowds, we also cater to private groups. Whether you are planning a stag do in Maribor, a team-building event for your company, or a unique birthday party, we can bring the festival vibes to you. We offer tiered pricing based on your group size, and you can even choose a specific theme or location for your private street art session.

What happens if it rains during the event?

We have a 'the show must go on' attitude! If the Maribor weather doesn't cooperate, we usually have backup plans. This can include moving to a covered outdoor area or an indoor studio space. Our team is flexible and experienced in handling logistics to ensure your creative experience isn't dampened by a bit of rain. We also have backup artists ready to go, so your booking is always secure.
