Frequently asked questions
Do we need to pay for the workshop in advance?
Booking our festival entertainment in Basel is completely risk-free. We don't require any upfront payments. You only pay for the workshop after the event is finished and you are completely satisfied with the results. This allows event organisers to manage their budgets with confidence and ensures we deliver a top-tier street art experience every single time.
Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival attendees?
Safety is our top priority at any Basel event. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality masks, gloves, and overalls. Our professional spray paints are selected for their quality and safety standards. Furthermore, our experienced artists manage the crowds and ensure that the creative process remains safe, clean, and enjoyable for every participant involved.
Can people with no artistic skills participate?
Absolutely! While Basel has deep roots in traditional street art, our workshops are designed for everyone. No prior artistic experience is needed. Our professional artists are experts at guiding beginners through the basics of spray can control and letter design. Whether you are a small child or a grandparent, you will leave the workshop having created something impressive.
What happens if it rains during the festival?
Yes, we are prepared for Basel's changeable weather. If your festival is outdoors, we recommend have a marquee or covered area as a backup. However, we also have a network of backup artists and flexible scheduling to ensure that the show goes on. Our team is used to working in various environments and can adapt the setup to suit your specific venue.
What kind of space do you require at the festival grounds?
We can set up our mobile graffiti walls almost anywhere in Basel, from the banks of the Rhine to urban plazas. We use protective floor coverings and strategic shielding to ensure that the surrounding environment remains clean. All we need is a flat surface and enough space for your guests to move around comfortably while they unleash their creativity.
How long does a typical festival session last?
Festival workshops are highly customisable. Sessions can range from short 15-minute 'taster' drops for high-turnover crowds to more intensive 2-hour workshops for dedicated groups. We work with you during the planning phase to determine the best flow for your specific event schedule and expected guest numbers to ensure maximum engagement.
