Do I need to have any artistic experience to participate?

Absolutely! Most of our participants have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert instructors who break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We start with basic safety and nozzle control, then move on to lines and filling. By the time you're done, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. This is a judgment-free zone where creativity thrives regardless of skill level.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We suggest wearing comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little messy. While we provide premium protective gear including suits, gloves, and masks, some paint dust (overspray) can occasionally find its way onto shoes or sleeves. Think of it as a creative badge of honor! It's also a good idea to wear closed-toe shoes for better stability while you're working on your mural.

Is the workshop safe for everyone?

Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We provide high-quality respirators/masks, protective suits, and gloves to every participant. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor or indoor spaces. Our instructors also provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring everyone knows how to handle the equipment properly and maintain a safe distance from others while painting.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard cultural event workshop in Edmonton typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction to street art history, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice sessions, and the final creation of a large-scale collective mural or individual canvases. We can also customize the duration to fit into your specific event itinerary if you have a tighter schedule!

What materials are included in the price?

Everything is included! Your booking covers the cost of all professional spray paint (in a wide variety of vibrant colors), protective gear, caps/nozzles, and the painting surface (whether that's a temporary wall or individual canvases). You also get the expertise of our professional graffiti artists who stay with you throughout the session. There are no hidden fees—just show up and start creating!

What happens if it rains on the day of the event?

Edmonton weather can be unpredictable, but we've got you covered. If we're scheduled for an outdoor session and the weather doesn't cooperate, we have backup indoor locations available, or we can use professional-grade tents. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never cancel a workshop. We’ll work with you to ensure your event goes off without a hitch, rain or shine!

Can you accommodate large groups or festivals?

We love the energy of large groups! Whether it's a small cultural gathering of 10 people or a massive festival for hundreds, we have the staff and equipment to handle it. For larger groups, we bring in additional professional artists to ensure every participant gets individual attention and guidance. Just let us know your expected numbers, and we'll create a custom plan that works perfectly for your size.

Local culture

Edmonton has a deep-rooted appreciation for public art, from the iconic murals in the Quarters District to the ever-evolving legal walls that keep our urban landscape alive. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, celebrating the grit and creativity that makes "YEG" so unique. We love the energy of the local arts scene here, and we aim to contribute to it by empowering you to pick up a can and add your own voice to the conversation.

Fun Fact: Did you know Edmonton is home to "The Free Wall" on 95th Street? It's a place where artists have been legally expressing themselves for years, helping make our city one of the most street-art-friendly spots in the Prairies! 🎨
