How long does a typical graffiti onboarding workshop last?

Most of our Edmonton onboarding workshops last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This timeframe is perfect because it allows enough time for a thorough safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of a large-scale piece without taking up your entire day. We can also adjust the timing if you have a tight schedule for your corporate retreat or team-building afternoon at the park.

Do I need any previous art or drawing experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional Edmonton street artists will guide you through every step, from how to hold the can to advanced layering techniques. We focus on the 'fun' in Graffitifun, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and creative, regardless of their prior art experience. You will be amazed at what you can create in just one session!

Is it safe and what kind of protective gear is provided?

We take safety seriously. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. Our artists are seasoned pros who provide clear instructions on can handling and spatial awareness. Additionally, our paints are professional-grade, and we always choose well-ventilated outdoor or indoor locations in Edmonton to ensure a safe, breezy environment for everyone involved.

What happens if it rains on the day of our workshop?

Edmonton's weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered! If the weather doesn't cooperate for an outdoor session, we have access to indoor spaces or we can use large tents. Because we have backup artists and flexible logistics, we rarely cancel. We can also pivot to using high-quality water-based paint markers or interior-safe sprays if we move the workshop inside a local studio.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you are a small team of 5 or a massive company onboarding 100 new hires, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in additional artist-mentors to ensure everyone gets personal attention and coaching. Edmonton's larger parks and industrial studios provide the perfect backdrop for big groups to spread out and get messy with their designs.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

Comfort is key! While we provide protective overalls, we always recommend wearing clothes you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on—just in case! Comfortable sneakers are a must as you'll be on your feet moving along the 'wall.' Since Edmonton can be chilly or sunny, dressing in layers is the best way to stay cozy while you unleash your inner Banksy.

Can we choose our own theme or logo to paint?

Absolutely! We love it when groups have a specific vision. We can pre-sketch a company logo, a specific 'onboarding' theme, or a set of core values for your team to fill in and stylize. Alternatively, we can keep it totally freestyle if you want to see where the group's collective imagination leads. Just let us know your preference when you book your Edmonton session!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next Edmonton onboarding or team event? Because traditional icebreakers are old news! Street art forces you to step outside your comfort zone and think in big, bold strokes. Here’s why it works:

Instant Connection: Nothing builds a bond like collaborating on a massive 10-foot mural together. 🤝
Zero Pressure: It’s not about being a "good artist"; it’s about the process, the laughs, and trying something new.
Boost Confidence: Seeing a vibrant piece of art come together from scratch gives your team a huge sense of accomplishment. 🏆
Local Vibe: Connect with Edmonton’s urban culture in a way that’s authentic and totally unique.
Stress Relief: There is something incredibly therapeutic about the hiss of a spray can and the flow of bright colors. 🌈
Memorable Outcomes: Your team won't forget the day they became street artists—plus, you get great photos!

Step by step

The meetup: We gather at a cool local spot in Edmonton where your artist-mentor introduces the history of street art.
Safety first: Get geared up in your protective suit, gloves, and mask while we explain the dos and don'ts of spray paint.
The first spray: Learn the 'anatomy' of a spray can—how to control pressure and swap caps for different line widths.
Basic techniques: Practice drawing lines, dots, and fills on your own practice space to get a feel for the flow.
Concept sketching: Grab some chalk and outline your big idea on the main surface, guided by our professional artists.
Filling and fading: Learn the secret to smooth color transitions and vibrant fills that make your art pop.
The outline (The 'Powerline'): Add the final sharp outlines and highlights to bring your graffiti piece to life.
Photo op & cleanup: Pose with your masterpiece for the 'gram and help us leave the site as clean as we found it!

Local culture

Edmonton has a sneaky-good street art scene that’s been exploding lately. From the towering murals in Old Strathcona to the hidden gems tucked away in the Alley of Light, the city is a canvas waiting to be explored. We draw inspiration from the local legends who have turned Edmonton’s industrial bones into a colorful playground. Whether we’re setting up near the North Saskatchewan River or in a trendy warehouse space, the "Festival City" energy is always present. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Edmonton is home to "The Free Wall"? It's a designated space where artists can legally hone their craft, proving just how much this city loves its urban art culture! 🇨🇦
