Amsterdam,Netherland,july 24,2025-Since its founding in 2005, Graffitifun has evolved from a passionate street art initiative into the largest and most respected graffiti workshop provider in Europe. With a network and own team of more than 40 artists, a global footprint, and a mission to educate and inspire, the Amsterdam-born company is redefining how people engage with graffiti shifting it from the shadows into the spotlight as a legitimate, expressive, and community-building art form.
At the heart of Graffitifun’s success is its founder, Michel Steers, a visionary graffiti artist who launched the company at the age of 16. Born and raised in Holendrecht, a neighborhood in the southern part of Amsterdam, Steers was inspired by the vivid energy of the urban environment. What began as a personal passion quickly turned into a professional calling.
“Graffiti has always been a form of self-expression and storytelling for me,” says Steers. “But I wanted to go beyond the walls—I wanted to educate, to connect people, and to help them see this art for what it truly is: powerful, emotional, and full of potential.”
A European powerhouse in streetart education
Two decades later, Graffitifun stands as the market leader in graffiti workshops, offering immersive and hands-on experiences in cities across the Netherlands, Belgium, and beyond. From Amsterdam and Utrecht to Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, London, Dublin, Milan, and many more, Graffitifun delivers workshops that are as dynamic and diverse as the communities they serve.
What sets the company apart is its versatility and scale. Whether it’s a corporate team-building day, school art lesson, children’s party, family holiday event, or a major public or private event, Graffitifun tailors each session to the audience, ensuring both fun and learning in a safe, respectful environment. The company routinely hosts over 1,000 participants per week, a testament to its deep-rooted influence in shaping the next generation’s perception of graffiti and street art.
With an unwavering focus on quality, Graffitifun has earned the highest ratings across multiple review platforms. Its workshops consistently receive praise for their creativity, professionalism, and impact. The company also holds the distinction of being a recognized training institution, offering internships and mentorship opportunities to aspiring young artists and students looking to explore the field of urban art.
Artists with credibility and heart fort he company
A key ingredient in Graffitifun’s success is its team of respected graffiti artists, many of whom maintain active roles in the global graffiti scene. These artists bring not only technical expertise but also credibility and authenticity, something participants immediately recognize and appreciate.
“Participants often tell us they’re amazed at how deep the world of graffiti really is,” says Steers. “Our artists are not just teachers: they’re storytellers, culture bearers, and community leaders.”
Despite the company’s impressive scale, the foundation of Graffitifun remains deeply personal. Many of the artists, including Steers himself, still view their work as a passion project, balancing workshops alongside other careers. This dedication to art for art’s sake is one of the reasons why Graffitifun continues to resonate so strongly with people of all ages and backgrounds.
More than paint
At its core, Graffitifun is about more than just spraying paint on a wall. Its mission is to introduce graffiti as a legitimate art form, while also promoting respect for public and private property. Each workshop includes a strong educational component that emphasizes the importance of responsible artistic expression.
In doing so, the company has contributed significantly to the broader acceptance of street art within society. Schools, municipalities, corporations, and families now routinely turn to Graffitifun not only to explore creativity, but to instill values of collaboration, cultural appreciation, and civic responsibility.
Adding to its innovative credentials, Graffitifun has also developed its own exclusive spray paint label, produced near Milan, Italy. This high-quality line of spray cans is used during workshops, providing participants with professional tools and reinforcing the company’s commitment to excellence.
Growth with purpose
With nearly 20 years of steady growth, Graffitifun is not resting on its laurels. The company’s future vision is one of continued expansion, artistic innovation, and above all joy.
“We want to keep growing, but only in a way that keeps the art alive and the fun at the center of everything we do,” says Steers. “Our goal has always been to make graffiti accessible and meaningful. Whether you’re 8 or 80, there’s something magical about creating something with your own hands.”
As the company continues to spray color across city walls and onto blank canvases, one thing is clear: Graffitifun is not just making art, it’s making an impact.
