Do the kids need any previous art experience?

No prior art experience is needed! Our Vancouver workshops are designed for beginners. Our professional street artists guide the students through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering complex shading techniques. We focus on building confidence and having a blast, ensuring every kid walks away with a piece of art they are truly proud of. It’s all about the experience and learning something new!

Is spray painting safe for children?

Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep everyone clean and safe. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier for kids to control, and we always hold our sessions in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. Our experienced instructors closely supervise the group at all times to ensure everyone follows the safety guidelines while having fun.

What should the students wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers just in case, even though we provide full protective gear like suits and gloves. Graffiti can be a bit messy, and while our gear covers most of it, it's better to be safe than sorry! In Vancouver's unpredictable weather, wearing layers is also a smart move so the kids stay comfortable whether we are working indoors or out.

How much does a graffiti workshop cost in Vancouver?

Pricing for our Vancouver after-school workshops typically ranges from C$40 to C$90 per person. The final cost depends on the number of participants, the duration of the session, and the specific location or setup required. We strive to provide accessible pricing for community groups and schools. Contact us for a custom quote tailored to your specific group's needs!

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard after-school sessions usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice basic techniques, and complete a final masterpiece. We can also adapt the timing to fit your school's specific schedule or multi-week program requirements. Just let us know what works best for your students!

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

Rain is a classic part of life in Vancouver, but it won't stop the creativity! We have access to various indoor locations and covered outdoor spots where we can spray safely and stay dry. If the weather is truly uncooperative, we can coordinate with you to reschedule or move the workshop to a more suitable covered facility nearby.

Can the kids take their artwork home?

Absolutely! While many groups choose to create a large collaborative mural on a wall or large plywood surface, we also offer the option for each student to paint their own individual canvas. This is a very popular choice for after-school programs because the kids get to take their "piece" home immediately to show off to their family and friends!
