Frequently asked questions

What is the ideal group size for a university workshop in Riga?

To make your university event as smooth as possible, we generally suggest a group size of 10 to 50 people. However, Riga has some fantastic large-scale spaces, and we can accommodate up to 100+ students by rotating groups or bringing in additional professional artists. Whether it's a small society social or a massive campus-wide 'Welcome Week' festival, we have the scales and the spray cans to make it work perfectly for your crowd.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for students?

Safety first, always! Graffitifun provides all the necessary protective gear, including high-quality FFP2 masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep your student gear spotless. We use professional-grade spray paints and our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We're fully insured and experienced in managing large university groups, ensuring a fun environment that meets all health and safety standards.

Can you host the workshop directly on our university campus?

Absolutely! We can set up mobile graffiti walls at your Riga campus, or we can host you at one of our curated street art spots in the city. If the Latvian weather isn't playing ball, we have indoor solutions using low-odour water-based paints that are safe for ventilated halls. Just let us know where you'd like to paint, and we'll handle the logistics to bring the art to you.

How long does a typical student session last?

The standard university workshop lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives students enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice their 'tagging' and 'throwing', and complete a final collaborative masterpiece. If you're running a shorter event or a drop-in 'try it out' booth during a festival, we can adapt the format to chunks as short as 20-30 minutes per person.

Can we use this as a team-building event for our student union?

Definitely. Graffiti is the ultimate team-building exercise for student unions, sports teams, or freshers' groups. We often design workshops where different teams work on separate panels that, when combined, create one giant mural representing your university's values or society's identity. It’s a brilliant way to break the ice and get people talking while engaging in something totally unique and hands-on.

Do students need any prior art skills?

No prior art experience or 'cool' status required! Our Riga artists are experts at teaching absolute beginners. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, control pressure, and create clean lines. Most students are genuinely surprised at how much they can achieve in just a couple of hours. It’s all about expression, having a laugh with your mates, and trying something new together.

What do we need to bring to the session?

Students should wear comfortable clothes that they don't mind getting a tiny bit of 'artistic dust' on—though we provide full protective suits, it’s best to be safe. We provide everything else: the paint, the caps, the masks, the boards, and the inspiration. Just bring your energy and maybe a playlist of your favourite tunes to get the creative vibes flowing!
