Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our guests have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, like how to control the nozzle and manage pressure, before moving on to more complex shapes. We provide a supportive, fun environment where there are no mistakes, only happy accidents. You will be amazed at how quickly you can create something impressive under our guidance!

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable shoes that you do not mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide high quality protective overalls and gloves to keep you clean, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto sleeves or shoes. It is better to be safe and dress down for the occasion so you can focus entirely on your creativity.

Is it safe to use spray paint indoors?

Safety is our biggest priority at Graffitifun. We provide professional grade FFP protective masks and gloves for every participant. Our workshops are held in well ventilated spaces to ensure everyone can breathe easily while working. Our instructors also give a full safety briefing before we start any spraying, so everyone knows how to handle the equipment responsibly and stay safe.

How long does the workshop last?

A standard graffiti workshop in New York City usually lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for the artist introduction, a practice session on the basics, and the completion of your final piece. We can adjust the timing for corporate events or festivals if you have a specific schedule to stick to, just let us know your requirements.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Yes, New York City can be unpredictable! For outdoor sessions, we always have backup plans or can move things to one of our covered locations. Since we have a large team of local artists, we also have backup instructors ready to go, meaning your event is guaranteed to happen regardless of minor hitches. We make sure the fun never stops!

Can you host workshops for large corporate groups?

We are experts at catering to all sorts of groups. Whether you are looking for a creative team building activity for your company, a wild bachelor party, a unique school trip, or a vibrant way to celebrate a birthday, we can tailor the session. We have experience with everything from small private groups to large scale festival activations across the city.

Can we take our artwork home with us?

Standard workshops involve painting on a shared wall or large boards to get the full street art experience. However, we can also offer options where you paint on individual canvases that you can take home and hang on your wall. This is a very popular choice for groups who want a long lasting souvenir of their New York City graffiti adventure.

Lokale Kultur

New York City is more than just a location for us; it is the spiritual home of the entire global street art movement. From the legendary murals of 5 Pointz to the bustling creative hubs of Bushwick and the Bronx, every borough tells a story through paint. When you join one of our workshops here, you are tapping into a legacy of rebellion and beauty that has shaped the city's skyline for decades. Our local artists are deeply embedded in the NYC scene and love sharing the secret spots and stories that you won't find in any guidebook.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the modern graffiti movement was ignited in New York during the late 60s and 70s? It started with simple "tags" like TAKI 183 and quickly evolved into the massive, multicoloured masterpieces you see today across the Five Boroughs! 🗽🔥
