Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely not! Our Aalborg graffiti workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Most of our tourist guests have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from basic nozzle control to advanced layering techniques, ensuring you leave with a piece of art you're proud of.

Will I get paint on my clothes during the workshop?

We take safety and cleanliness very seriously. We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks to ensure you don't get paint on your clothes or inhale fumes. While we provide gear, we still recommend wearing comfortable 'outdoor' shoes and clothes you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on, just in case!

How long does the graffiti experience take?

Standard workshops for tourists usually last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you are on a tight travel schedule, we can often adjust the timing to fit your itinerary in Aalborg.

What happens if it rains on the day of my booking?

Usually, the workshop takes place at designated legal 'Hall of Fame' walls in Aalborg, such as the vibrant areas around the harbour or Karolinelund. This means you get to experience the authentic street art culture of the city. In case of heavy rain, we have indoor alternatives or can use canvases under a covered area to keep everyone dry.

How do I book and when do I need to pay?

Booking is easy and risk-free with Graffitifun. You can request a quote via our website. We don't require upfront payments for most tourist bookings – you simply pay after the workshop is completed. We also have backup artists available to ensure your session never gets cancelled due to staff illness.

Is this activity suitable for children and families?

We generally recommend a minimum age of 8 years old for our workshops, as the spray cans require a certain amount of finger strength and coordination. However, we offer lighter 'pocket' cans for younger kids and can tailor the experience to be family-friendly so everyone from grandchildren to grandparents can join the fun together.
