Is it safe for primary school children to use spray paint?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority for every Calgary primary school session. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves, and we use low-odor, non-toxic spray paint specifically designed for use in school environments. Our professional artists are expert facilitators who supervise the students closely, ensuring that the cans are handled correctly and that everyone stays within the designated painting zones. It is a controlled, safe, and super fun environment for everyone involved.

Where does the graffiti workshop take place?

We are completely flexible! We can bring the workshop directly to your school playground or gym in Calgary, or we can arrange for your class to visit a local street art hotspot to experience the vibe firsthand. If we come to you, we take care of all the protective floor and wall coverings to ensure your school property remains pristine. All we need is a bit of space and some enthusiastic young artists ready to create.

How much does a workshop in Calgary cost?

The price for a primary school workshop usually ranges between C$40 and C$90 per student. The final cost depends on factors like the number of participants, the length of the session, and whether we are painting on a large communal mural or individual canvases that the kids get to take home. We take pride in being transparent with our pricing, and there are no hidden fees. Request a custom quote today for your specific group!

How long does a typical school session last?

Our sessions for Calgary schools typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. For primary students, we find that a 2-hour session is the 'sweet spot'—it provides enough time for a solid introduction, a drawing phase, and plenty of actual spraying without losing their focus. We can easily adapt the schedule to fit your specific school bell times or project requirements. Just let us know what works best for your curriculum.

How do you make graffiti accessible for younger kids?

Our artists are experts at engaging younger kids! We simplify the techniques so they are easy to grasp. We focus on big movements, bright colors, and 'tagging' their own names. We also integrate educational elements about the history of Calgary's street art scene and the importance of legal, respectful art. It’s not just about spraying paint; it is about building confidence through a medium that feels 'cool' and accessible to every child.

Do we need to provide any materials?

Not at all! One of the best things about Graffitifun workshops is that we provide everything. From the spray cans and professional-grade caps to the masks, gloves, and protective suits—we have it all covered. We even bring the canvases or mobile wood walls. The students just need to show up in clothes they don't mind getting a little dusty and bringing their best creative energy. We handle the setup and the cleanup.

Local culture

Calgary's street art scene has absolutely exploded in recent years, thanks in part to initiatives like the BUMP (Beltline Urban Murals Project) Festival. The city is now a massive outdoor gallery! During our workshops, we love to reference local landmarks and the incredible murals found throughout the Beltline and Downtown areas. It helps the kids feel connected to the urban landscape of their own city.

Fun Fact: Did you know Calgary is home to some of the largest murals in Canada? Some of the artwork in the Beltline is over 10 stories tall! We use these local examples to show students how art can transform a neighborhood. 🖌️

Pricing

Our primary school workshops are designed to be accessible and provide incredible value for an all-inclusive creative experience. We believe every kid in Calgary should have the chance to try street art!

Investment: C$40 – C$90 per student

Please note that pricing varies based on the number of students, the location, and the specific materials chosen for the project. No upfront payment is required—you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed!
