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

Most of our Vancouver pop-up workshops last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives you plenty of time to learn the basics, practice your 'can control,' and execute a final piece you’ll be proud of. If you're looking for a quick 'try-it-out' session or a more intensive masterclass, we can easily adjust the timing to fit your specific event schedule.

Do I need any previous art experience to participate?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to closet creatives. Our professional artists guide you through every step, starting with simple lines and shapes before moving on to more complex lettering and shading techniques. You don’t need to be 'artistic' to have a blast and create something that looks awesome on a canvas or wall.

What safety gear do you provide for the event?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We also use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to handle for beginners. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring everyone knows how to use the equipment responsibly and comfortably.

What happens if it rains during our Vancouver pop-up?

Since Vancouver weather can be a bit unpredictable, we have flexible options. Many of our pop-ups are held in covered outdoor spaces or well-ventilated indoor studios. If the 'Rain City' living up to its name, we can pivot to indoor setups using specialized low-odour water-based paints that are safe for indoor use, ensuring the creative fun never has to be cancelled.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty. Even though we provide full-body protective suits and gloves, spray paint can be a bit adventurous! It's best to leave the designer sneakers at home and opt for something practical so you can focus entirely on your masterpiece without worrying about a stray drip of paint.

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

Absolutely! We love bringing the hype to different parts of the city. Whether you have a space in Gastown, a backyard in Kitsilano, or a corporate rooftop in the West End, we can bring the pop-up to you. We just need a well-ventilated area and permission from the property owner. If you don't have a spot, we can suggest some great local partner venues.

How much does a graffiti pop-up event cost?

Our pricing in Vancouver typically ranges from C$40 to C$90 per person. The final cost depends on factors like the number of participants, the duration of the session, and the specific materials requested (like individual canvases). We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and you only pay after the workshop is complete. Reach out for a custom quote!

Local culture

Vancouver’s street art scene has exploded over the last decade, moving from the shadows to the spotlight. From the massive murals of the Vancouver Mural Festival in Mount Pleasant to the hidden gems in the alleys of Gastown, the city is a living gallery. Our pop-up workshops tap into this local 'Rain City' creative spirit, celebrating the diversity and boldness of BC’s art culture. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Vancouver is home to one of the longest legal graffiti walls in North America? The 'Leeside Tunnel' is a former bus loop turned skatepark and art haven!

We bring that same authentic West Coast vibe to your pop-up, ensuring your event feels like a genuine part of the Vancouver art narrative. Whether we're riffing on Pacific Northwest nature themes or classic 80s throw-ups, our workshops are 100% Vancouver-inspired. 🔥
