Are the spray paints safe for school students to use?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority. We use low odour, high quality spray paints and provide all students with protective gear, including masks and gloves. Our professional artists are experienced in managing school groups and ensure every student follows safety protocols while having a blast. We also provide a full safety briefing before anyone even touches a spray can.

How long does a typical school workshop last?

Most school workshops last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives students enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice their strokes, and complete a final piece of art. We can easily adjust the duration to fit into your school schedule or double up sessions to accommodate multiple classes throughout the school day.

Do the students need to have any prior art skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps that anyone can follow. We focus on building confidence and showing students that everyone has a creative side, regardless of their previous experience with art or drawing.

Can the workshop be held indoors if the Ottawa weather is bad?

Usually, we host these outdoors against a wall or ona temporary wooden surface. If the weather in Ottawa is not cooperating, we can move things indoors! We use special low pressure cans and protective floor coverings to keep everything clean. As long as there is decent ventilation, we can bring the graffiti magic inside your school gym or hall.

What materials does the school need to provide?

We provide everything! Your school only needs to provide the space and the enthusiastic students. We bring the professional spray paint, caps, safety masks, gloves, and the surfaces to paint on. We even bring plastic sheeting to protect the ground, so you do not have to worry about any permanent messes left behind.

What are the educational benefits of a graffiti workshop?

Graffiti workshops are surprisingly educational! They promote teamwork, boost self esteem through creative expression, and teach students about the history of urban art and typography. It is a fantastic way to engage students who might struggle with traditional academic subjects, giving them a unique physical and artistic outlet to share their voice.

Lokale Kultur

Ottawa might be known for its historic parliament buildings, but its street art culture is absolutely buzzing! From the legal graffiti walls at Tech Wall to the vibrant murals in the Glebe, this city understands the power of public art. Our workshops tap into this local energy, showing students that Ottawa is a canvas for innovation and urban storytelling. We love bringing this culture into local schools, helping the next generation of Canadian artists find their voice in the capital. Fun fact: Ottawa is home to several legal "free zones" for graffiti, where artists can legally hone their craft, making it one of the most street art friendly cities in Canada!
