Do I need any prior art experience to join a workshop?

Absolutely not! Our Johannesburg pop-up events are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a stick figure to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists guide you through every step, starting with basic can control and ending with a piece you'll be proud of. It’s all about the experience, the energy, and having a blast with the spray cans in a relaxed environment.

What materials are included in the pop-up event?

We’ve got you covered! We provide high-quality spray paint, masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or boards you'll be painting on. Just bring your enthusiasm and wear some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a little dusty—it is a street art experience, after all! Everything else is on us.

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade respiratory masks and gloves for all participants. Our workshops usually take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open spaces. Our lead artists also provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring that the 'Jozi' street art vibe stays fun and injury-free for everyone involved.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Standard pop-up sessions in Johannesburg usually run for about 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a quick history lesson, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you're booking a larger brand activation or a festival setup, we can adapt the timing to flow perfectly with your specific event schedule and guest list.

Can you host the pop-up at a location of my choice?

Yes, we are fully mobile! While we have favorite spots around Maboneng and Braamfontein, we can bring the pop-up workshop to your office, a private garden, or a public event space across Gauteng. As long as we have a ventilated area and permission to be there, we can set up our mobile graffiti walls and get the creative juices flowing anywhere.

Does the spray paint wash off easily?

While the paint is permanent on the canvas, it’s not always permanent on skin! However, it can be tricky to get out of certain fabrics. That’s why we provide full protective gear. If you do get a little 'Joburg chrome' on your hands, soap and warm water usually do the trick. We recommend wearing 'work' clothes just to be safe, so you can focus on the art!

What happens if it rains on the day of the event?

Rain can be a bit of a party pooper for outdoor painting, but we always have a Plan B. We can often move the workshop under cover or reschedule to another day that suits you. Because we have a large team of backup artists in South Africa, we are very flexible with timing and rarely have to cancel an event entirely due to weather or logistics.

Local culture

Johannesburg isn't just a city; it's a massive, living canvas. Places like Braamfontein and the Newtown Cultural Precinct have become world-class galleries for street artists from across the globe. Our pop-up events tap into this local heritage, celebrating the "hustle and heart" that defines Jozi. We often draw inspiration from the bold geometric patterns and vibrant colors found in local South African design to help you create something that feels truly 'Joburg'.

Fun Fact: Johannesburg is home to some of the largest street art murals in Africa, with some towering over 10 stories high! Our workshops might start a bit smaller, but the ambition is just as big.

Pricing

Our Johannesburg pop-up experiences are competitively priced to ensure everyone can join the movement. Prices generally range from R400 to R900 per person, depending on the complexity of the setup and the number of participants.

Whether it's a small boutique party or a massive corporate activation, we provide a transparent, all-inclusive price with no hidden costs.
