Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for an indoor trade show environment?

Yes, safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 respirators, nitrile gloves, and protective overalls for every participant. Our professional artists ensure the spraying area is well-ventilated and that all safety protocols are followed. In a busy trade show hall in Basel, we manage the 'spray zone' carefully to ensure both participants and nearby visitors remain comfortable and safe throughout the creative process.

Can you really spray paint inside a convention centre?

Absolutely! We use specialised low-odour water-based spray paint for indoor events. Unlike traditional solvent-based cans, these are designed for indoor use and produce significantly less fumes. We also bring professional extraction systems and protective flooring to ensure we leave the Messe Basel venue exactly as we found it. This allows your visitors to enjoy the urban art experience without any unpleasant smells or mess.

How long does a typical session take for a visitor?

We recommend allowing 15 to 30 minutes for a mini-workshop. This is the 'sweet spot' for trade show visitors—it is long enough for them to learn the basics and contribute to the artwork, but short enough that they don't feel they are missing out on other parts of the exhibition. However, we can also offer quick 5-minute 'tagging' sessions for high-traffic moments.

Do our guests need any prior artistic experience?

Not at all. Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our expert artists guide your guests through every step, from holding the can to masterfully creating clean lines and fades. We often find that those who have never touched a spray can before are the ones who have the most fun and create the most surprising, high-quality results for your brand's display.

What happens to the artwork after the trade show ends?

The finished artwork is yours to keep! Many brands choose to display the completed mural on their stand for the remainder of the trade show. After the event, you can take it back to your office in Basel or elsewhere to serve as a permanent memory of a successful exhibition. Alternatively, we can create smaller individual canvases that visitors can take home with them as unique souvenirs.

Can we customise the design to match our brand identity?

We offer total flexibility. We can work with your existing brand guidelines, colours, and logos. Our artists can pre-sketch a design that incorporates your corporate identity, ensuring the final collaborative masterpiece is perfectly aligned with your marketing goals. Whether you want something sleek and professional or raw and urban, we tailor the aesthetic to match your brand's voice.
