Who can participate in the anti-vandalism graffiti workshop?

Anyone can join! We welcome locals, tourists, students, and corporate teams. Our anti-vandalism program is designed for beginners of all ages who want to learn about street art history and the proper way to express themselves creatively. Whether you are a total novice or Have a bit of artistic flair, our professional artists will guide you through the process in a fun and supportive environment right here in Kyoto.

How does this workshop help prevent vandalism in Kyoto?

Unlike illegal tagging, our workshops take place on legal, designated surfaces or mobile canvases. We teach the 'Code of Street Art,' which emphasizes respect for public and private property. By providing a legal outlet and professional guidance, we show participants that real art requires patience and permission, effectively reducing the urge to engage in destructive vandalism in our beautiful city's streets.

Is spraying graffiti safe for beginners?

Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. Our spray paints are professional-grade but used under strict supervision. Before we even touch a can, we conduct a safety briefing to ensure everyone knows how to handle the equipment properly. You get to enjoy the thrill of painting without any of the risks.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little paint on, just in case! While we provide full protective gear including overalls, a stray drop of paint can sometimes find its way onto a shoe. Since we are often outdoors or in well-ventilated studios, dressing for the weather is also a smart move for your comfort.

Do I need to be artistic or have experience?

No way! You don't need any prior drawing or painting skills to have a blast. Our expert artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps—from holding the can to creating cool 3D effects. We focus on the 'fun' in Graffitifun. You will be amazed at what you can create by the end of the session with just a little bit of guidance.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard session usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demo, practice sessions, and the creation of your final masterpiece. It is the perfect length for a morning activity or an afternoon team-building event before heading out to enjoy Kyoto's famous nightlife or dining scene.

Where do the workshops take place?

We are super flexible! We can host workshops at various partner locations across Kyoto, or if you have a suitable private space (like a school yard or office car park), we can bring the 'mobile graffiti wall' to you. We handle all the logistics, setup, and cleanup, making it a completely hassle-free experience for your group or organization.

Local culture

Kyoto is a city that breathes history, from the orange gates of Fushimi Inari to the quiet paths of Arashiyama. Because the city's aesthetic is so carefully preserved, illegal tagging can be particularly jarring. Our workshop bridges the gap between Kyoto's artistic heritage and modern urban culture. We focus on "Artistic Responsibility," showing how street art can actually enhance urban spaces when done with permission and skill.

Fun Fact: Did you know Kyoto has strict "landscape ordinances" that even control the colors of convenience store signs? This deep respect for visual harmony is why our anti-vandalism program is so popular—it teaches artists how to contribute to the city's beauty rather than clutter it! 🎨

Pricing

Our workshop prices in Kyoto generally range from ¥5000 to ¥12000 per person. This depends on the group size, the amount of materials used, and whether we come to you or use one of our creative hubs.

We believe in transparency and no hidden fees—plus, no upfront payment is required! You pay only after the workshop is finished to ensure 100% satisfaction.
