Do I need to have any artistic skills to participate?

Absolutely not! Our Shanghai pop-up events are designed for everyone, from total beginners to closet Picassos. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of spray control, layering, and 'the flick of the wrist' before you start on your masterpiece. We focus on the fun and the process, ensuring you leave with a huge smile and a brand-new skill you never knew you had.

Is it safe to use spray cans during the pop-up?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean and your lungs happy. Our spray paints are selected for their quality and safety standards. Each workshop begins with a full safety briefing, and our artists are always on hand to supervise and ensure everyone is using the equipment correctly and safely.

What should I wear and bring to the event?

Wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little dusty, even though we provide full protective gear! Flat, closed-toe shoes are a must for stability while you're painting. We provide everything else: the cans, the caps, the safety gear, and the expert instruction. Just bring your energy and a bit of imagination, and we’ll handle the rest!

How long does a typical graffiti pop-up session last?

Pop-up workshops are incredibly flexible! A standard session typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of graffiti, practice some techniques, and complete a final collaborative or individual piece. We can adjust the timing to fit the flow of your specific event or festival schedule in Shanghai.

Can you host the pop-up at a location I suggest?

We love the 'pop-up' nature of our work! We can set up our mobile graffiti walls at various locations across Shanghai, from trendy art hubs like M50 to private event spaces or corporate courtyards. If you have a specific venue in mind, let us know, and we'll check the logistics to make sure it's a perfect fit for a spray-paint session.

What is your payment and cancellation policy?

We believe in our service so much that you only pay after the workshop is complete! We don't require any upfront payment to secure your booking. Furthermore, we have a network of backup artists in Shanghai to ensure that your event goes ahead even if there’s an unexpected emergency. Your peace of mind and satisfaction are guaranteed.

Can participants take their artwork home?

Yes! While we often work on large collective murals, we can also arrange for participants to paint on individual canvases or boards that they can take home. This makes the graffiti workshop a fantastic 'make-and-take' experience for brand activations or birthday parties where you want guests to have a physical souvenir of the day.

Local culture

Shanghai is a city defined by the contrast between its ancient heritage and its neon-lit future. This same energy is reflected in its burgeoning street art scene. While traditionally quiet, areas like the M50 Art District on Moganshan Road have become the beating heart of local creativity, where the walls tell stories of a changing China. Our graffiti pop-up events tap into this local 'Haipai' culture—a unique East-meets-West fusion that defines Shanghai’s spirit.

Fun fact: Did you know that Moganshan Road used to be the only place in Shanghai where graffiti was officially tolerated, turning it into an ever-changing outdoor gallery that attracts artists from all over the globe?

By hosting a workshop here, you're not just painting; you're joining a global movement that is finding a bold new voice in the streets of China's most international city. 🔥
