Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely not! Our Vancouver anti-vandalism program is specifically designed for beginners of all ages. Our professional artists will guide you through everything from how to hold a spray can to mastering complex lettering. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before, but they walk away with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of. We focus on technique, safety, and most importantly, having a blast!

Is the workshop safe and what should I wear?

Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and work in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or specially designed indoor studios. Our instructors are professional artists who emphasize the importance of using designated legal walls to ensure a safe and legal environment for everyone involved.

How does a workshop help prevent vandalism?

The main difference is permission and intent. Our workshops teach participants that street art is a respected medium when done on legal canvases or designated 'free walls.' Vandalism involves damaging property without consent, which hurts the community. By providing a creative outlet and educating participants on the history and culture of the craft, we help redirect that energy into positive, legal, and beautiful community contributions.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

Our standard anti-vandalism experiences in Vancouver typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows for a full introduction to graffiti culture, a safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of your own masterpiece. We find this is the perfect 'sweet spot' to keep energy levels high and ensure everyone stays engaged without getting tired. We can also customize the duration for larger festival or school groups.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We take care of everything! Your booking includes premium spray paint in a huge variety of colors, protective equipment (masks, gloves, suits), and the 'canvas' (whether that’s a professional board or a designated wall space). We also bring sketches and inspiration sheets to help get your creative juices flowing. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and perhaps some comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty!

Where in Vancouver do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible! We can host workshops at various legal street art locations across Vancouver, or we can bring the entire experience to your school, office, or backyard using mobile graffiti walls. Whether you want to soak up the vibe in Mount Pleasant or need us to set up in a parking lot in Burnaby, we make it happen. Indoor options are also available with specific ventilation setups.

What is your payment and cancellation policy?

Planning an event can be stressful, so we make it easy. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. You only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. We also have a roster of backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation. We want your Vancouver street art experience to be completely worry-free!

Local culture

Vancouver has a deep-rooted love affair with muralism, especially with the world-renowned Vancouver Mural Festival turning neighborhoods like Mount Pleasant into open-air museums. Our anti-vandalism programs tap into this local pride, showing participants how they can contribute to the "Van City" aesthetic legally and beautifully. From the iconic alleys of Gastown to the creative hubs of East Van, we breathe the same air as the legends who shaped Canada's West Coast street scene.

Fun Fact: Did you know Vancouver is home to one of Canada's oldest legal graffiti walls? This history helps us teach participants that patience and permission lead to much more impressive art than a rushed tag in the dark! 🏔️

Pricing

Our workshop prices in Vancouver are flexible to fit your needs, ranging from C$40 to C$90 per person. The final cost depends on the number of participants, the duration of the session, and whether we're coming to you or hosting you at one of our local spots.

We believe in transparency and value, which is why we offer a No Upfront Payment guarantee. You only pay when the job is done and the smiles are wide!
