Have you always dreamt of being a street artist? Do you want to get to know the techniques to make your very own piece? Then join one of our STRAAT Street Art & Graffiti Workshops!
Experience what it's like to work with a spray can yourself! We’ll start with a brief explanation of the use of spray cans and the various techniques. What does it take to create your own piece? And how do you paint the perfect outline? Then, it’s time to get busy yourself on the large shipping containers next to the museum. Our experienced workshop instructor will provide tips and tricks. Don't forget to take a photo of your own masterpiece at the end!
The workshops take place on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:30 AM to 12:45 PM and from 1:30 PM to 2:45 PM. Available only from May through September—please note that exceptions apply! You can find all available dates in the booking system's calendar.

During the Graffitecture: Typographic Blueprints exhibition, we offer a free walk-in workshop. The workshop takes place on seven Sundays, on the first and third Sunday of each month during the exhibition.
In this wonderful workshop, you’ll wear specially designed chaos glasses created by artist Chinny Bond. These aren’t ordinary glasses—they’ve been tricked out with brushes and pens that move as you move your head. No hands allowed! You’ll create unpredictable, energetic marks on paper just by tilting, turning, and shaking your head over the surface.
This playful exploration of mark-making teaches us something fundamental: tools are more than just extensions of our hands—they’re creative partners that shape how we see and express the world. Just like several of the artists in Graffitecture: Typographic Blueprints, who push the boundaries of letterforms with inventive approaches, you’ll discover how embracing unconventional tools unlocks fresh possibilities in artistic expression. So, put on your chaos glasses, loosen up, and let your instincts take the lead. Art-making has never been so joyfully out of control!

A children's party at STRAAT is the perfect way to introduce kids to spray can art. The program starts with an inspirational walk through the museum under guidance of the workshop teacher, to learn more about the artform and check out inspirational works. After a short technical introduction, it’s time for the kids to get busy. At the end of the workshop, the kids get to take home their canvas.
The workshop is suitable for children aged 8 and older and takes place outdoors. During the winter months, it's also possible to spray under cover, protected from the wind.
