Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely not! Our Chicago networking events are designed for everyone, from CEOs who haven't picked up a crayon in decades to creative directors. Our professional artists walk you through the basics of can control, lettering, and filling. Most participants are shocked at how great their work looks by the end of the session. It’s all about the experience and the connections you make while trying something new.

What should I wear to a graffiti networking event?

We provide all the necessary safety gear, including high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective ponchos. While we take every precaution to keep you clean, we always recommend wearing 'work clothes' or something you don't mind getting a little paint on. Chicago's weather can be unpredictable, so if we are at an outdoor wall, please dress for the temperature!

How long does a typical networking session last?

Standard networking workshops usually last between 2 and 3 hours. This provides enough time for a professional demo, a practice session, and the collaborative 'masterpiece' phase where the real networking happens. We can also adapt the schedule to fit into a larger conference itinerary or a shorter 'power-networking' lunch break if needed.

Can we keep the artwork we create?

Yes! One of the best parts of our Chicago events is that you can take your individual canvases home or back to the office. If the group works on a large collaborative mural, we can often arrange for the panels to be delivered to your workplace as a permanent reminder of the day’s connections and creativity.

Where in Chicago do these events take place?

We can host events at various vibrant locations across Chicago, from dedicated street art galleries in Wicker Park to outdoor walls in Logan Square. If you have a specific corporate campus or a rented venue with outdoor space, we can also bring the mobile studio to you, provided there is proper ventilation and space.

Is the spray paint safe to use indoors?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-odor, professional-grade spray paint and provide full protective equipment. Our instructors are trained in site safety and group management. We ensure the environment is well-ventilated and that all participants are comfortable with the tools before we start spraying. It's a controlled, professional, and fun environment for everyone.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti-themed mixer in the middle of Chicago? Because standard networking is forgettable, but creating art is forever. Here’s why it works:

Instant icebreaking: It’s hard to be "corporate" when you’re wearing a poncho and holding a spray can! 🎭
Memorable connections: You won't just remember a name; you'll remember the mural you built together.
Level the playing field: From interns to VPs, everyone is a student when it comes to graffiti.
Boosted creativity: Taking experts out of their comfort zone sparks fresh ideas for their day jobs. 💡
Visual ROI: Take home a physical piece of art that represents your new professional community.

Step by step

Intro & icebreaker: We start with a quick session to get everyone comfortable and introduce our professional Chicago street artists.
Concept brainstorming: Participants gather in small groups to discuss themes, brand values, or industry goals they want to visualize.
Technique demo: Our pros show you the 'can-control' basics—mastering lines, fades, and those iconic graffiti drips.
Drafting the vision: Use markers to sketch out your ideas on the canvas before the paint starts flying.
The first layer: Start filling in the background colors. This is where the energy shifts and the creative juices really start flowing!
Collaborative spraying: Work alongside your new professional contacts to blend styles and ideas on a shared mural.
The finishing touches: Add sharp outlines and highlights to make your collective artwork pop.
Networking wrap-up: Step back, admire the work, and exchange contact info while the paint dries and the music plays.

Local culture

Chicago is a city with a deep-rooted love for public art, from the iconic murals of Pilsen to the legendary 'Post No Bills' history of our subway lines. By hosting your networking event here, you’re tapping into a gritty, beautiful legacy of urban expression that defines the Midwest's creative capital. We celebrate the spirit of the Wabash Arts Corridor and the colorful alleys of Logan Square right in our sessions.

Fun Fact: Chicago is home to 'The Mile of Murals' in Rogers Park, a massive community-based public art project that proves just how much this city values its visual storytellers! 🏙️
