Graffiti workshop for company events in Amsterdam
Ready to swap the boring boardroom for the vibrant streets of Amsterdam? Our graffiti workshops for company events offer an electrifying alternative to traditional team-building activities. Whether you are looking to spark creativity, celebrate a successful quarter, or simply get the team out of the office, we provide a hands-on experience that breaks down barriers and encourages collaboration. In the heart of the Netherlands' most artistic city, your team will transform from colleagues into a crew of street artists. Under the expert guidance of professional graffiti writers, you’ll learn the techniques used by the pros to create something truly spectacular. It’s messy, it’s loud, it’s incredibly fun, and most importantly, it’s an Amsterdam experience your team won't stop talking about at the coffee machine.
Why choose us in Amsterdam?
Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next corporate event in the Dutch capital? It’s more than just painting; it's about building stronger connections through shared creativity. Here’s why it works:
- Unleash hidden talent: Street art levels the playing field, allowing shy team members to shine alongside natural leaders.
- Stress relief: There is something incredibly therapeutic about the hiss of a spray can and the bold application of colour.
- Tangible results: Whether it's a massive mural or individual canvases, your team creates something real that represents their collective effort.
- Authentic Amsterdam experience: Connect with the city's urban soul in a way that traditional canal tours simply can't match.
- Zero risk: With our 'pay after' policy and backup artist guarantee, your event planning is completely stress-free.
- Scalable solutions: We handle everything from intimate executive retreats to massive company-wide festivals.
How it works
- Intro and demo: Your team meets our professional artists at the venue. We start with a high-energy demo and a brief history of Amsterdam's street art scene.
- Safety first: Get geared up! Everyone receives protective overalls, gloves, and professional masks, followed by a quick safety briefing on how to use the equipment.
- Basic techniques: Learn the ropes. We teach you how to control the pressure, create sharp lines, and master the 'fade' technique with various spray caps.
- Design phase: In small groups, you’ll brainstorm a concept. This could be your company logo, a team vision, or a wild artistic mural. Our artists help you sketch the layout.
- The first layer: Time to spray! Start filling in the large shapes and background colours on the wall or canvas, getting a feel for the scale of the work.
- Detailing and outlines: The trickiest part! Use fine tips to add outlines, highlights, and your team's unique details to make the artwork pop.
- Final masterpiece: Step back and admire the collective work. This is the perfect moment for a group photo with your finished creation.
- Feedback and cleanup: Our artists provide a light-hearted 'critique' of the work, highlighting the best elements before we wrap up and handle all the cleanup.

How long does a typical corporate graffiti workshop last?
For our company events in Amsterdam, we recommend a duration of 2 to 2.5 hours. This allows enough time for a thorough introduction, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of your team masterpiece. If you have a tighter schedule, we can condense the session to 1.5 hours, or expand it for a more in-depth artistic experience if you are looking for a full afternoon of team building.
Do we need any prior drawing or painting experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, regardless of their artistic ability. Our professional artists guide your team through the basics, starting with simple lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. Most participants are surprised by what they can achieve in just a few hours. The focus is on teamwork, creativity, and having a great time together in an informal setting.
What should our team wear for the graffiti session?
We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality overalls, gloves, and masks. While we take every precaution to keep you clean, we always recommend that participants wear comfortable clothing and shoes that they don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. Since many of Amsterdam's best graffiti spots are outdoors, please check the weather forecast and dress appropriately for the temperature on the day of your event.
Can the workshop take place at our own office location?
In Amsterdam, we primarily work at dedicated 'Hall of Fame' locations like the NDSM Wharf, which offer an authentic urban atmosphere. However, we are also fully mobile. If you have a private outdoor space or a well-ventilated indoor area at your office or a rented venue, we can bring the workshop to you. We use special low-odour paints for indoor settings and ensure full floor and wall protection is in place.
What happens if the instructor is unavailable on the day?
At Graffitifun, we believe in 'creative insurance'. We have a large team of professional artists, meaning we always have backup instructors available. If your primary artist falls ill, we have a network of skilled experts ready to step in. This ensures your company event in Amsterdam goes ahead as planned without any last-minute cancellations, giving you peace of mind during the planning process.
Are the spray cans and materials safe to use?
Safety is our top priority. We use EU-certified spray paints and provide professional-grade FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure everyone breathes clean air. Our instructors give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We also provide gloves and protective suits to keep your clothes safe. Our gear meets all modern health and safety standards, ensuring a worry-free experience for your entire team.
How do we book and when is payment required?
Booking is simple and risk-free. You can request a quote via our website without any obligation. Once we have tailored a package to your group size and date, we confirm the booking. The best part? You don't need to pay upfront. We trust our clients and prefer that you pay via invoice after the workshop has successfully taken place. This reflects our commitment to 100% customer satisfaction for every Amsterdam outing.
