How does a graffiti workshop help prevent vandalism?

Our Montreal workshops are designed to redirect the impulse to tag into a structured, creative outlet. We teach participants the difference between 'vandalism' (damage without consent) and 'street art' (legal expression). By providing a professional environment and quality materials, we show young people and community members that their voices can be heard through legal, beautiful public art that improves the city rather than detracting from it.🎨

Do participants need prior artistic experience?

Absolutely not! This program is specifically designed for beginners and those who might currently be 'tagging' without formal guidance. Our professional artists start with the basics of can control, lettering, and color theory. Whether you've never touched a spray can or you're already sketching in a notebook, we provide the tools and techniques to help you level up your skills in a positive, legal environment.💪

Is the workshop safe for youth and community groups?

Safety is our top priority in every Montreal session. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including specialized masks to prevent inhalation of fumes, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. Our instructors are trained in safety protocols and ensure that the workshop takes place in a well-ventilated, controlled area where everyone can focus on being creative without risks.✨

What materials are provided in the anti-vandalism program?

Everything you need is included in the price! We provide professional-grade spray paint in a huge variety of vibrant colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear, and the surfaces we’ll be painting on. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on (just in case!) and a 'can-do' attitude. We handle the rest of the setup and cleanup.🎉

Where in Montreal do these workshops take place?

We are incredibly flexible! Depending on your needs, we can host the workshop at one of Montreal's dedicated legal graffiti walls, or we can bring the experience to your school, community centre, or parking lot. We use specialized mobile walls or canvases if a permanent surface isn't available. This flexibility allows us to serve diverse neighborhoods across the city, from Plateau to Hochelaga and beyond.🏙️

How long does a typical session last?

A standard anti-vandalism graffiti session typically lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. This timeframe is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy high while allowing enough time for a theory lesson, practice sketches, and the final creation of a large-scale mural. We can also customize the duration for half-day intensives or multi-day community projects if you're looking for a deeper dive into street art culture.⏱️

How does the payment and booking process work?

We believe in the quality of our workshops, which is why we offer a 100% satisfaction focus. You don't need to pay anything upfront; payment is only required after the workshop is complete and you're happy with the results. This ensures a stress-free booking process for schools, nonprofits, and community organizers. Plus, we always have backup artists on call to ensure your event goes off without a hitch!🏆

Step by step

Introduction & Ethics: We start with a chat about Montreal's street art history and the vital difference between vandalism and legal muralism.
Design Thinking: Participants grab a sketchbook to plan their piece, focusing on message, flow, and "wildstyle" or "bubble" lettering techniques.
Gear Up: Everyone gets fitted with professional masks, gloves, and suits to stay safe and clean during the spray session.
The First Line: Under the guidance of a pro, you'll learn "can control"—how to hold the spray can to get crisp lines and avoid drips.
Filling & Fading: Learn the secret to smooth fills and vibrant colour gradients to make your artwork pop off the wall.
The Outline: This is where the magic happens! We add the final outlines and "power lines" to give the graffiti its professional edge.
Character & Detail: Add 3D effects, highlights, and unique characters to personalize the collective mural.
Final Reflection: The group reviews the finished work, discussing the sense of pride that comes from creating a legal masterpiece.

Local culture

Montreal lives and breathes street art. From the massive murals lining Boulevard Saint-Laurent to the hidden gems in the back alleys of the Plateau, our city is a massive open-air gallery. We draw inspiration from local legends and the annual MURAL Festival that turns the city into a global stage. Our workshops tap into this unique "Montréalais" vibe, encouraging participants to contribute to the city's visual identity in a way that respects neighbors and business owners alike.

Fun Fact: Did you know Montreal was one of the first cities in North America to establish "legal walls"? These spaces helped birth a generation of world-class artists who moved from the shadows to the spotlight! 🎨

We also offer these creative experiences in other Canadian hubs like Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Ottawa.

We offer flexible pricing to ensure our anti-vandalism programs are accessible to community groups, schools, and private organizations across Montreal.
