What exactly is an anti-vandalism graffiti program?

An anti-vandalism program is a proactive approach to graffiti management. Instead of just cleaning walls, we channel that creative energy into positive, legal outlets. By teaching the skills and the 'unwritten rules' of the street art world, we show participants that there is a more respectful and artistic way to express themselves without damaging Newcastle’s local heritage or private property.

Is the workshop actually fun or is it just a lecture?

Absolutely! While we focus on the ethics of street art, the core of the experience is hands-on painting. Participants will learn how to handle a spray can, control pressure, and create their own masterpiece on a legal surface. It is a high-energy, creative session where everyone gets to express their individuality while learning about social responsibility in a fun, non-preachy way.

What age groups can participate in this program?

Our workshops are designed for everyone from the age of 8 and up. We tailor our message and the complexity of the art based on the group. Whether it is a youth group, a school class, or a community project in Heaton or Jesmond, we ensure the content is relatable, engaging, and age-appropriate for all Geordies involved.

Do we need to bring our own spray cans or safety gear?

We provide everything you need to get started. This includes high-quality spray paint in a variety of colours, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or boards that the group will be working on. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and bring your enthusiasm!

How do you ensure the safety of the participants?

Safety is our number one priority. All our instructors are experienced professionals who follow strict safety protocols. We use low-pressure cans for better control and provide full protective equipment, including FFP3 masks. Our sessions are fully insured, and we ensure the environment is well-ventilated and secure for all participants.

How much does a Newcastle anti-vandalism workshop cost?

Prices typically range from £25 to £55 per person. The final cost depends on your group size, the duration of the workshop, and the specific location in Newcastle. Because every community project is unique, we recommend requesting a custom quote so we can provide the best possible value for your specific needs.

Where can participants paint legally after the workshop?

Newcastle has a vibrant street art scene with many legal walls where artists can hone their craft legally. During the workshop, our artists will point out the difference between 'tagging' and 'mural art' and guide participants toward legal spots in the North East where they can continue to practice their skills without breaking the law.

Local culture

Newcastle has always been a city of creators, from its industrial roots to the modern-day buzz of the Ouseburn Valley. The local street art culture here is thriving, with legal spots and stunning murals popping up from the Quayside to the city centre. However, we know that illegal tagging can still be a headache for local residents and businesses. Our program is designed specifically for the Geordie spirit—honest, hardworking, and full of character. We work with the grain of the city to encourage pride in our local architecture while celebrating its modern, urban identity.

Fun Fact: Did you know Newcastle's Ouseburn Valley is often called the "Shoreditch of the North"? It is a hub for street artists and features some of the most impressive legal murals in the UK! 🏆
