The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Calgary after-school program? It’s more than just painting—it’s about finding a voice! 🎤 Here is why students and educators love it:

  • Total self-expression: Graffiti is an "anything goes" medium that lets kids break free from traditional art rules. 🌈
  • Confidence boost: Seeing a giant, colourful piece of art they created themselves gives students a massive sense of accomplishment. 💪
  • Teamwork in action: Many of our workshops focus on collaborative murals, teaching students how to communicate and work together.
  • Professional mentorship: Work alongside real Calgary artists who share their journey and passion for the industry. 🎨
  • Low-stress environment: There are no mistakes in graffiti, only "happy accidents" and layers of paint!

Step by step

  1. The safety huddle: We start every session with a quick rundown on how to use the gear and keep the workspace clean.
  2. Cans and caps: Students learn about different spray tips (caps) and how they change the width and texture of the paint line.
  3. Basic techniques: Under the eye of a pro, students practice drawing straight lines, dots, and smooth fades.
  4. Sketching the vision: Before hitting the wall, we brainstorm ideas and sketch out designs on paper to plan the masterpiece.
  5. Outline and fill: Time to go big! Students apply their designs to the canvas or mural, learning how to fill colours evenly.
  6. The "Pop" factor: We teach how to add highlights, shadows, and 3D effects to make the letters jump off the surface.
  7. Final outlines: A crisp outer line brings the whole piece together for that professional street art look.
  8. Photo op: We wrap up by celebrating the creative wins and taking photos of the crew with their finished artwork.

Local culture

Street art in Calgary

Calgary has a surprisingly deep relationship with urban art. From the massive murals decorating the Beltline to the hidden gems in Kensington, the city is a playground for visual storytelling. Our workshops tap into this local energy, encouraging Calgary youth to contribute to the city's growing creative identity. Whether we are inspired by the Rocky Mountain skyline or the urban pulse of Stephen Avenue, our sessions feel authentically "Cowtown."

Fun Fact: Calgary is home to the BUMP (Beltline Urban Murals Project) festival, which has transformed the city into one of the most vibrant open-air galleries in Canada! 🇨🇦

We love bringing the spirit of the Calgary art scene to schools and youth groups, showing them that art isn't just something you see in a museum—it's something you create on the streets (lawfully, of course!).

Pricing

Our goal is to make street art accessible to every student in Calgary. Because every school and group has different needs, we offer flexible pricing models.

Estimated range: C$40 – C$90 per participant.

The final price depends on the total number of students, the location, and whether you want individual canvases or a giant collaborative mural. The best part? No upfront payment is required—you only pay after the workshop is complete and everyone is smiling! 🏆
