Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely not! Our Halifax onboarding workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our pro artists will guide you through everything from how to hold the can to advanced layering techniques. We provide all the specialized gear and instructions, so you just need to bring your enthusiasm and an open mind. You'll be amazed at the masterpiece you can create by the end of the session!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority while we're having fun. We provide high-quality protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep you and your clothes safe. We also use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor or indoor spaces. Our instructors provide a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and secure throughout the entire artistic process.

What should I wear to the workshop?

You should wear comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little messy, just in case! While we provide protective suits and gloves, it’s best to wear older sneakers and casual gear. Since Halifax weather can be unpredictable, we recommend dressing in layers if we are working at an outdoor site near the harbor. We'll handle all the professional art supplies and safety equipment!

How long does the workshop session last?

A standard onboarding or team-building workshop in Halifax typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of a final collaborative or individual piece. We can also customize the duration to fit into your specific corporate schedule or event timeline.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you have a small startup team of 10 or a large corporate department of 100+, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in multiple backup artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention and plenty of "can-time." We scale our materials and instructor count based on your specific group size to maintain quality.

Can you host the workshop at our office or a specific location?

We have several dedicated partner spots throughout Halifax, including cool industrial spaces and designated street art zones. However, if you have a private backyard, a warehouse, or a ventilated office space, we can often come to you! We'll just need to verify the location for safety and ventilation requirements. Part of the fun is finding the perfect urban backdrop for your session.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next Halifax event? It’s more than just paint on a wall; it’s about building a culture of "can-do" attitude! 💪

Instant connection: Nothing bonds a team faster than learning a brand-new, slightly rebellious skill together. 🎉
Zero ego: Since most people haven't sprayed a wall before, everyone starts on a level playing field.
Tangible results: You'll walk away with a physical piece of art (or great photos) that represents your team's spirit.
Stress relief: The rhythmic "psssht" of the spray can is surprisingly therapeutic for a busy office crew. 🎤
Pro-led: Our artists are the real deal—they live and breathe street art and are experts at teaching. 🏆

Step by step

The warm-up: We start with a high-energy intro to graffiti culture and the local Halifax street art scene.
Gear up: Put on your protective suits, gloves, and masks. Safety first, style second!
The basics: Learn how to control the nozzle, manage pressure, and create clean lines versus "fat" flares.
Drafting: Sketch your ideas on paper or directly onto the canvas with light "guide" strokes.
Color theory: Pick your palette! Choose from dozens of vibrant spray cans to make your design pop.
The fill-in: Start bringing your piece to life by filling in the large areas of your design.
Outlining & Detail: The pro move! Add sharp outlines and highlights to give your art that 3D look.
The reveal: Step back and admire the collective work. It’s perfect for a team photo op!

Good to know

Local culture

Halifax has a soul that stretches far beyond its historic boardwalks and salty air. From the colorful murals tucked away in the North End to the rotating gallery of the Mulgrave Park mural project, street art is woven into the identity of this city. Our workshops tap into this local energy, giving you a taste of the "Halifax vibe"—where tradition meets modern grit. We often draw inspiration from the Atlantic landscape and the bold, resilient spirit of Haligonians.

Fun Fact: Did you know Halifax is home to some of the most concentrated pockets of public art in Atlantic Canada? The city's "Open Mic" for visual artists is everywhere if you know where to look! 🎨
