Is the spray paint safe for elementary students?

For our Montreal primary school sessions, we use specialized low-odor, water-based spray paint whenever possible, especially for younger grades. These professional-grade cans are designed to be safer for children while still providing that authentic street art experience. Programs can be held outdoors in the fresh air or in well-ventilated indoor spaces. Safety is our top priority, and we ensure every student is comfortable and protected throughout the creative process.

Will the kids' clothes get messy during the workshop?

Absolutely! We provide high-quality protective gear for every student, including disposable ponchos, gloves, and masks. While the paint we use is high-quality, it is designed to stay on the canvas, not on clothes. We always recommend that students wear "artist clothes" (items they don't mind getting a little messy) on the day of the workshop just to be extra safe while they unleash their inner Banksy!

Where in Montreal do the workshops take place?

We pride ourselves on flexibility. We can bring the workshop directly to your school playground, gym, or parking lot in any Montreal neighborhood. If you don't have space on-site, we can also help arrange a session at a local creative hub or legal graffiti wall. Our mobile kits are designed to set up quickly and cleanly wherever your students are ready to learn.

Can you accommodate students with special needs?

Our workshops are highly inclusive! Graffiti is a physical and visual medium that transcends language barriers—perfect for Montreal’s multicultural classrooms. We can adapt techniques for students with different motor skills or sensory needs. Whether it's using larger nozzles for easier spraying or providing extra one-on-one guidance, our artists make sure every child feels like a successful artist by the time the session ends.

How long does a typical school session last?

The workshop usually lasts between 90 minutes and 2.5 hours. This includes the intro, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of their masterpiece. We can easily adjust the timing to fit into your school's specific period blocks or lunchtime schedules. For larger groups, we often run back-to-back sessions so everyone gets a turn with the cans.

Do the children need to have any drawing skills?

No prior talent is needed at all! Our professional artists specialize in teaching the basics from scratch. We start with simple lines and "tags" before moving on to more complex shapes. You'd be amazed at how quickly a Montreal 4th grader can grasp the concept of 3D lettering. It’s all about building confidence and having a blast with color.

Local culture

Montreal is North America's street art capital, and we love bringing that local flair to your school! From the world-famous murals of the MURAL Festival on Saint-Laurent Boulevard to the hidden gems in the back alleys of Rosemont, Montreal breathes creativity. Our workshops reflect this unique bilingual spirit, blending urban grit with artistic finesse.

Fun Fact: Did you know Montreal's "Graffiti Alley" (Les Habitations Jeanne-Mance) is one of the oldest legal spots for street art in Canada? We teach students that like Montreal itself, art is a way to build community and tell a story! 🇨🇦

Whether your school is in Westmount, Anjou, or Verdun, we bring the vibe of the city's creative heart directly to you. We can even tie our workshops into current Montreal events or local history themes! 🎭

We believe every kid in Montreal should have the chance to be an artist. Our pricing is straightforward and designed to fit school budgets.
