Do students need prior artistic experience to join?

Not at all! Our Edmonton after-school workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to budding artists. Our professional mentors guide students through every step, starting with basic lines and moving up to complex fills and 3D effects. Most students are shocked at how much they can achieve in just one session! Our goal is to build confidence through creativity, not to judge technical perfection.

Is the spray paint safe for children and teens?

Safety is our #1 priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep clothes clean. We use low-odor spray paint whenever possible and always conduct workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specialized indoor spaces. Our artists are trained in safety protocols and supervise the group closely to ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly and stays safe while having fun.

Is this teaching kids how to do illegal graffiti?

Absolutely! While students learn the history and techniques of street art, we emphasize the difference between illegal vandalism and legal, community-building street art. We focus on 'permission walls' and canvas work, teaching respect for public property and the importance of using one's voice for positive expression. It's about turning high-energy expression into a constructive, respected hobby.

What should students wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing 'art clothes'—things you don't mind getting a stray speck of paint on. Although we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can be a bit messy when you're caught up in the creative flow! Comfortable closed-toe shoes are also a must for safety. We provide everything else, including masks, paint, caps, and the surfaces we'll be painting on.

Where in Edmonton do the workshops take place?

Our after-school programs are quite flexible! We can host them at your school or youth center if there is a suitable outdoor wall or ventilated area. Alternatively, we have several partner locations and legal wall spots around Edmonton where we frequent. If you have a specific location in mind, just let us know and we’ll check if it meets our safety and logistical requirements.

How do we book and what is the payment process?

Booking is easy and stress-free. You can use our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate, or simply fill out our contact form. We don't require upfront payments—you only pay after the workshop is completed. We also have backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about a session being cancelled due to a creator being sick. Peace of mind is part of the package!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after-school programming? It’s more than just paint—it’s a game-changer for student engagement! 🔥

Total inclusivity: You don't need to be a "pro artist" to excel; graffiti is about finding your own style, making it accessible to every student.
Stress relief: There is something incredibly therapeutic about the "hiss" of a spray can and the bold movement of painting large-scale.
Team building: Students often collaborate on large murals, learning how to share space, colors, and ideas. 🤝
Professional Mentors: Our artists are passionate educators who live and breathe street art culture.
Zero financial risk: With our "pay after the workshop" policy and backup artist guarantee, your school's budget is always safe with us.
Boosts confidence: Seeing a massive, colorful piece of art that YOU created is a massive ego-boost (the good kind!). 🚀

Step by step

The intro & safety brief: We kick things off with a quick history of street art and a vital safety demo on how to handle the cans and gear.
Sketching the vision: Students grab paper and pencils to map out their tags and designs, learning about letter structure and flow.
Can control basics: Before hitting the wall, everyone practices basic strokes, dots, and lines to get a feel for the pressure and distance.
Outline and fill: Time to go big! Students start sketching their designs on the wall or canvas, filling in their pieces with vibrant Edmonton-inspired colors.
Detailing & fading: Our pros teach cool tricks like gradients, shadows, and how to use 'skinny caps' for those crisp, fine details.
The final outline: The 'power line' makes the art pop! We add the final outlines to bring the whole piece together into a masterpiece.
Group photo & cleanup: We celebrate the hard work with a group photo session in front of the new mural and wrap up by leaving the site spotless.

Good to know

Duration: Sessions typically run between 1.5 to 3 hours—the perfect after-school window! ⏱️
Group sizes: We work with everything from small crews of 10 to large school assemblies. We maintain a great artist-to-student ratio.
What's included: Professional spray paint, high-quality masks, gloves, protective overalls, and all necessary surfaces (canvas or wall).
Safety first: Our team is fully insured and we use specific safety gear to ensure a clean, respiratory-safe experience for everyone.
Weather: If the Edmonton weather doesn't cooperate, we have indoor solutions or can reschedule with no hassle! ❄️

Local culture

Edmonton has a massive heart for street art, and you can feel it everywhere from the stunning murals in Old Strathcona to the legal walls that keep our local talent growing. We draw inspiration from the city's unique vibes—think the Neon Sign Museum glows or the rugged beauty of our winter landscapes. We love incorporating local "YEG" flair into our workshops, encouraging students to represent their neighborhoods and their city pride.

Fun Fact: Did you know Edmonton is home to some of the largest murals in Western Canada? The city's "Capital City Clean Up" program actually supports legal mural projects to help beautify the streets, proving that street art is a valued part of our urban culture! 🏆
