Do I need any previous art experience to join?/

Absolutely! Our onboarding workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Most of our participants have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through everything from basic nozzle control to advanced layering techniques. We provide a safe, supportive environment where the only goal is to have fun and express yourself. You'll be amazed at what you can create in just a couple of hours!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We've got you covered! Graffitifun provides all the necessary professional-grade spray paint, a wide variety of nozzles (caps), and safety gear including gloves and masks. We also provide protective suits to keep your clothes clean, though we still recommend wearing something you wouldn't mind getting a little 'artistic' on. We also provide the canvases or practice walls depending on the specific New York location chosen.

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality, low-pressure spray paint that is easier to control and produces less fumes. Every participant is provided with a high-quality respirator mask and gloves. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas or outdoor spaces. Our instructors are professional artists who are trained to manage groups safely while ensuring everyone has a blast with the cans.

Where in New York City do the workshops take place?

We offer total flexibility! You can choose to have the workshop at one of our partner street art locations around the city, or we can bring the mobile graffiti wall to your specific venue. Whether it's a rooftop in Manhattan, a park in Brooklyn, or your own backyard, we adapt to your needs. This makes our onboarding workshops perfect for corporate team building or private celebrations.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard onboarding session typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the culture, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice time, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule to stick to, just let us know! We can customize the timing to fit perfectly into your New York itinerary.

How do I book and when do I pay?

Booking is super easy and stress-free! You can request a quote through our website or use our Cost Calculator for an instant estimate. The best part? There is no upfront payment required. You can book your date and pay after the workshop is completed. We also have backup artists available for every booking, so you never have to worry about last-minute cancellations.

Local culture

New York City isn't just a place where street art happens—it's the place where it was born! From the early subway tags of the 70s to the massive legal galleries of Bushwick, NYC is a living, breathing museum of aerosol art. Our workshops tap into this legendary heritage, giving you a taste of the grit and glamour that makes the New York scene world-famous. We often host our sessions near iconic spots like the Bushwick Collective or the vibrant walls of the Lower East Side, ensuring you're surrounded by inspiration. 🔥

🗽 Fun NYC Street Art Fact: Did you know that the famous "Crack is Wack" mural by Keith Haring was originally painted illegally in 1986? It’s now a protected landmark by the NYC Parks Department!
