Do we need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely not! Our Ottawa onboarding workshops are designed for everyone, from those who haven't picked up a marker since kindergarten to seasoned doodlers. Our pro artists guide you through every spray, ensuring you feel confident and capable. It’s all about the experience and team bonding, not winning an art prize—though you might be surprised by what you can create with a little guidance!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to make magic happen: premium spray paint in a rainbow of colours, high-quality masks, gloves, protective suits, and large canvases. We even bring the practice boards and sketching materials. All you need to bring is your team and some comfy shoes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on. We’ve got the 'messy' part fully covered!

How long does a typical onboarding workshop last?

For our onboarding sessions in Ottawa, we typically recommend between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives your group enough time to learn the basics, practice their technique, and collaborate on a final masterpiece without feeling rushed. If you have a tighter schedule for your orientation day, just let us know—we can always customize the timing to fit your specific agenda perfectly.

Is the spray paint safe to use indoors?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade filtered masks and nitrile gloves for every participant. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or specially vetted indoor locations with high-clearance airflow. Plus, our instructors are experts in spray paint safety, ensuring everyone handles the equipment correctly while having a blast. You’re in very safe, professional hands here in the capital.

What happens if it rains or an artist is unavailable?

We love Ottawa, but we know the weather can be unpredictable! For outdoor workshops, we always have a 'plan B' ready. This might include using one of our covered outdoor locations or moving to a suitable indoor venue. We also have a solid team of backup artists available, so even if an instructor falls ill, your team's big day stays on the calendar. We never leave you hanging!

Can we keep the artwork we create?

While we can definitely work on individual canvases, we find that onboarding is most effective when teams work together on one large mural. This encourages communication and shared goal-setting. Many Ottawa companies choose to keep the final mural to hang in their office as a permanent reminder of the day they all 'clicked' and started their journey together. It’s a powerful visual for your workspace!

How does your payment process work?

We believe in flexibility for our clients. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. Once the workshop is completed and your team is buzzing with creative energy, we'll handle the payment. This 'pay after' policy is part of our commitment to 100% satisfaction. We are so confident you’ll love the experience that we put the trust entirely in your hands!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next onboarding session in Ottawa? Because nothing says "welcome to the team" like smashing through comfort zones together! 🚀

Instant icebreaker: Spray paint is the ultimate equalizer; everyone is a beginner, which naturally encourages help and humor.
Visualizing values: Turn your company’s mission statement into a vibrant piece of art that people actually want to look at.
Total confidence boost: Watching a blank wall transform into a masterpiece in just two hours is incredibly empowering for new hires. 💪
Stress-free planning: We handle the logistics, the mess, and the materials—you just show up and have fun.
Memories that stick: Years from now, your employees won't remember the orientation manual, but they’ll definitely remember the day they painted a mural together. 🏆

Step by step

The warm-up: We start with a high-energy intro where you'll meet our pro graffiti artists and learn about the roots of street art culture. 🔥
Design session: Your team brainstorms concepts that represent your company’s values or the goals of your new hires.
Can control 101: Learn the essential techniques—how to hold the can, adjust the nozzle, and control your pressure for perfect lines.
Sketching it out: We help you transfer your ideas onto the canvas or wall using light 'ghost' lines to guide the way.
Adding the vibrant colour: This is where the magic happens! Fill in your designs with a massive palette of premium spray paints. ✨
Cutting and outlining: Our artists show you how to 'clean up' your work with sharp outlines and highlights that make the art pop.
The final reveal: We step back to admire the collective masterpiece and take those all-important team photos for the 'gram or the office Slack.
Debrief and wrap-up: A quick reflection on the collaboration process before we handle all the cleanup and packing.

Local culture

Ottawa’s street art scene is a hidden gem, from the vibrant murals in the ByWard Market to the legal walls at Tech Wall (Slater and Bronson). Our workshops tap into this local energy, giving your team a taste of the capital's creative underground. We love highlighting the contrast between Ottawa's historic architecture and the modern, bold strokes of urban art.

Fun Fact: Did you know Ottawa is home to several "legal graffiti walls" where artists are encouraged to express themselves? It’s a city that truly understands the balance between tradition and urban evolution! 🏛️🎨
