Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Our workshops during the Marrakech street art festivals are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic spray techniques and safety, before moving on to personal tagging and collaborative murals. No prior drawing skills are needed—just bring your energy and a willingness to try something new and exciting!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children and adults?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor festival spaces. Our instructors are experienced artists who oversee the session to ensure everyone handles the equipment correctly and safely while having the time of their lives.

How long does a typical street art session last?

A standard festival workshop session usually lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice different spray techniques on a practice wall, and finally collaborate on a large-scale masterpiece or your own individual canvas. It’s the perfect length of time to get into the 'flow' without feeling rushed.

What is your payment policy for festival bookings?

We believe in total flexibility! You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your festival experience with us. Payment is only required after the workshop is completed and you're 100% happy with the result. We accept various payment methods to make the process as smooth as possible for your group or festival committee.

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

Marrakech's sunny weather is perfect for street art, but if it does happen to rain, we have you covered. We can often move the workshop to a sheltered outdoor area or provide gazebos. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never cancel sessions—we will work with you to find a solution or a dry window of time.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes a wide range of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective clothing, and the painting surface (either a communal wall or individual canvases). You just need to show up in comfortable shoes and clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on!

Can we choose a specific theme for our graffiti mural?

We love a good challenge! Whether you want to focus on a specific theme—like Moroccan patterns, modern pop art, or corporate branding—we can tailor the workshop to fit your festival's vibe. Just let us know your vision during the booking process, and our lead artists will design a custom programme that aligns perfectly with your event's goals.
