How it works
- Consultation and concept: We start by discussing the vibe of your festival in Bern. We'll decide on a theme, colours, and whether you want a collaborative mural or individual canvases.
- Site visit and planning: Our team assesses your location, whether it's a park, a street, or an indoor hall, to ensure we have the right safety measures and surface setups.
- Setting the stage: On the day, we arrive early to set up the 'graffiti zone' with protective flooring, professional easels, and a rainbow of spray cans.
- Artist demonstration: To get the crowd excited, our professional artists start with a live demonstration, showing off techniques like fading, outlining, and filling.
- Safety briefing: Every participant gets a quick rundown on how to use the cans safely and is fitted with protective gear before they start.
- Hands-on creation: This is where the magic happens! Festival-goers get to grab a can and add their personal touch to the artwork under our expert guidance.
- Refining the masterpiece: Our artists circulate through the crowd, helping participants refine their sketches and adding professional highlights to ensure the final piece looks incredible.
- Live gallery: The finished artwork stays on display throughout the festival, acting as a vibrant photo backdrop for your visitors.

Frequently asked questions
Can the graffiti workshop take place outdoors if it rains?
Absolutely! We use high-quality spray paints that are suitable for various weather conditions. If the festival is outdoors and rain is forecast, we can set up under gazebos or request a covered area from the organisers. Our artists are used to the Swiss weather and will ensure the creativity keeps flowing, rain or shine, making your Bernese festival a success regardless of the clouds.
Is the workshop safe for festival visitors?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide all festival participants with high-quality protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep clothes clean. Our professional artists supervise every spray, ensuring that the paint stays on the canvas and off the participants. We also use low-odour paints where possible and ensure the workshop area is clearly marked to keep onlookers at a safe distance.
What size space do you need for a festival setup in Bern?
We are incredibly flexible! Whether you are hosting a small boutique food festival in the Matte district or a massive music festival at the Allmend, we can scale our setup. We provide everything from small canvas stations to massive 20-metre 'legal walls'. Just let us know your expected footfall, and we will tailor the number of artists and materials to match your needs.
How long does a session usually last during an event?
One of the best things about our festival workshops is that people can drop in for five minutes or stay for an hour. It is a 'flow' activity perfectly suited to the festival environment. While a full workshop takes about 90 minutes, for festivals we usually run a 'tag-and-go' or collaborative mural style where hundreds of people can contribute to a single piece of art throughout the day.
Is there an age limit for participants?
Everyone is welcome! Graffiti art is a fantastic equaliser. We have seen toddlers (with help) and grandparents alike picking up a can for the first time. Our artists are experts at encouraging those who think they aren't 'artistic' to make their mark. It is a high-engagement, low-barrier activity that adds a vibrant, inclusive atmosphere to any public or private event in Switzerland.
Do we have to pay in advance for the booking?
No, you don't need to pay anything upfront. We believe in the quality of our service and the talent of our artists. You only pay after the festival workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied with the result. We even have backup artists on standby to ensure that your event goes ahead exactly as planned, no matter what happens.
