Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Most of our pop-up event participants in New York City have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists specialize in teaching the basics, from how to hold the can to mastering 'fat caps' and 'skinny caps.' We provide a safe, supportive environment where you can experiment, make mistakes, and eventually create something you’re truly proud of. Fun and learning are our top priorities!

Is the graffiti workshop safe and what should I wear?

Safety is our number one rule. We provide high-quality high-filtration masks, disposable gloves, and protective ponchos to keep your clothes clean. We also use low-odor, artist-grade spray paint whenever possible. Our instructors give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying, ensuring that the creative process remains a blast for everyone involved without any risks.

How long does a typical pop-up workshop last?

A standard graffiti pop-up experience usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of NYC street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule for your event, we can easily customize the duration to fit your needs!

Where in NYC do these workshops take place?

We are totally flexible! We can host events at various partner studios across Manhattan and Brooklyn, or we can bring the entire pop-up experience to your location. Whether it's a rooftop in Queens, a corporate courtyard, or a private event space, we bring the boards, the paint, and the protection. We just need a well-ventilated area to get the party started.

What materials are included in the pop-up event?

We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes a wide variety of spray paint colors, caps, gloves, masks, and the surface you'll be painting on (usually large wooden panels or individual canvases). You just need to bring your enthusiasm and maybe some shoes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on. We handle the setup and the cleanup!

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

Our pop-up events are perfect for groups of all sizes. While we typically suggest a minimum of 5-10 people for the best atmosphere, our NYC team can handle large-scale events with over 100 participants by bringing in additional backup artists. This ensures everyone gets personalized attention and plenty of time to spray. For very large crowds, we can even set up multiple 'stations.'

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

We know NYC weather can be unpredictable. If your event is outdoors and rain is in the forecast, we always try to have a 'Plan B.' This might involve moving to a covered area or an indoor studio space. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we are very reliable and will work with you to ensure the show goes on!

Local culture

New York City isn't just a place; it's the birthplace of the modern graffiti movement. From the subway cars of the 70s to the world-famous murals in Lower East Side and Astoria, street art is woven into the very fabric of the Five Boroughs. When you book a workshop with us, you're not just taking a class; you're participating in a living NYC legacy. Our artists are locals who know the difference between a "throw-up" and a "piece" and are deep in the local scene.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the "Wildstyle" graffiti technique originated right here in New York? It was designed to be so complex that only other writers could read it, turning the city into a giant, colorful puzzle! 🎨

Pricing

Our NYC pop-up experiences are designed to be accessible and high-energy. Pricing typically ranges from $35 to $75 per person, depending on the complexity of the setup, the number of participants, and the location of the event.

Since every New York event is unique—from rooftop parties in Brooklyn to corporate brand launches in Midtown—we provide customized quotes to give you the best value.
