Frequently asked questions

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

Absolutely no prior experience or artistic talent is required! Our Zurich street art festivals are designed to be inclusive and beginner-friendly. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps, from holding the can to mastering basic line work. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you can create something impressive under our guidance. We focus on the joy of creation rather than technical perfection.

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective overalls to keep you and your clothes safe. We use professional-grade spray paints in well-ventilated outdoor festival spaces. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring everyone understands how to use the equipment responsibly while having a blast.

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—just in case! While we provide full protective gear, including suits and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a messy business. In Zurich's variable weather, it's also a good idea to bring an extra layer if the festival is outdoors. Leave your fanciest designer gear at home!

How long does the workshop experience take?

The duration can vary depending on the festival's schedule, but our standard workshop experience usually lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives you enough time to learn the basics, practice your technique on a practice wall, and then complete your final masterpiece. It’s the perfect length to get fully immersed without feeling rushed or exhausted.

Is this suitable for children?

Standard graffiti workshops are best suited for participants aged 8 and up, as the spray cans require a bit of hand strength and coordination. However, for festivals in Zurich, we can often arrange "street art" alternatives for younger children, such as chalk art or stencil workshops using water-based markers. Contact us if you have a specific age group in mind for your event.

What happens if it rains during the event?

Zurich weather can be unpredictable! If the festival is outdoors and rain is forecast, we usually have backup plans involving marquees or sheltered areas. If conditions are severe, we can discuss rescheduling or moving to an indoor venue. We also have a large team of backup artists, so your workshop will never be cancelled due to staff illness.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

For festival settings, you can choose! We can set up large collective 'mural' walls where everyone contributes to a giant piece of art, or we can provide individual canvases or boards so every participant can take their own unique creation home as a souvenir of the day. Just let us know your preference when booking.
