Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our graffiti cultural events in Cape Town are designed specifically for beginners. Our pro artists start with the basics—how to hold the can, pressure control, and nozzle types—before moving on to more complex techniques. You don't need any prior art experience to create something you'll be proud of by the end of the day. It's all about finding your flow and having a blast!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We've got you covered. We provide high-quality spray paint, a variety of nozzles (caps), authentic surfaces or canvases, and essential safety gear including masks and gloves. We even provide protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. Just bring your creativity and wear some comfortable old shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. We handle all the setup and cleanup!

What happens if the Cape Town weather doesn't play along?

The Mother City can be unpredictable! For our outdoor cultural events, we always have a 'Plan B'. If the South Easter wind is howling or rain is falling, we can often move to a covered location or reschedule your session. Plus, with our backup artist policy, your event is protected against last-minute staff cancellations. We ensure your creative spark doesn't get rained out!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority. we use professional-grade spray paint and provide high-quality respiratory masks and nitrile gloves for every participant. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor areas. Our lead artists are also trained to manage groups safely, ensuring everyone handles the equipment correctly while maintaining a fun and respectful environment for the local community.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard cultural event workshops usually run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the Cape Town street art scene, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the completion of a final group mural or individual piece. If you have a specific schedule for a larger festival or event, we can customise the duration to fit your needs perfectly.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We can accommodate almost any group size! From intimate small groups of 10 to large-scale cultural festivals with hundreds of participants throughout the day. For very large groups, we bring in multiple artists to ensure everyone gets hands-on guidance. Whether it's a small local gathering in Woodstock or a massive brand activation at the V&A Waterfront, we have the capacity to scale up.

Is this legal graffiti?

While we focus on the art of graffiti, we are strictly about legal street art and creative expression. We only paint in designated legal zones, on mobile walls we bring ourselves, or on private property with permission. Our mission is to celebrate Cape Town's incredible urban culture in a way that respects the city and its residents. No illegal tagging here—just pure, sanctioned creative fun!

Local culture

Cape Town is a global heavyweight in the street art world. Suburbs like Woodstock and Salt River serve as giant open-air galleries, showcasing murals that tackle everything from conservation to social justice. Our workshops draw inspiration from this local 'style-writing' heritage, blending international techniques with that unique Cape Town 'flavour'. We celebrate the diversity of the Western Cape by encouraging participants to incorporate local slang, icons, and colours into their work. 🇿🇦

Fun Fact: Woodstock, Cape Town, hosts one of the largest concentrations of legal street art murals in Africa, with over 100 works by artists from all over the globe! 🌍
