Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our spray paints are low-odor and we prioritize outdoor sessions or well-ventilated spaces. Our professional artists are trained to supervise children, ensuring everyone follows safety protocols while having a blast. We make sure the environment is controlled so teachers and parents can relax while the kids get creative.

Do the students need prior drawing or art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, especially beginners. Our artists guide the students through every step, from holding the can to creating their first 'tag' and filling in shapes. We focus on self-expression and fun rather than technical perfection. By the end of the session, even the students who didn't think they were 'artistic' are usually beaming with pride at what they've created.

How long does a typical school workshop last?

Our standard primary school workshops in Toronto typically last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance of instruction, practice time, and the final creation of their masterpiece without losing the students' attention. We can also adapt the timing to fit into your specific school schedule or create a half-day intensive program if you're looking for a deeper dive into street art culture.

Where do the workshops take place in Toronto?

We're flexible! We can host the workshop right on your school grounds (outdoors against a wall or on mobile boards) or at a dedicated street art location in the city. If the weather doesn't cooperate, we have indoor solutions using protective floor coverings and low-pressure cans. We bring everything to you, making the logistics as simple as possible for your administrative team and staff.

What is the ideal group size for a school session?

We recommend one artist for every 15 to 20 students to ensure everyone gets personal attention and proper supervision. This allows us to maintain a safe environment while giving each child the chance to ask questions and improve their technique. For larger year groups, we simply bring more professional artists from our Toronto team to keep the energy high and the learning hands-on for everyone involved.

Do the kids get to keep what they make?

We offer two main options: students can work together on a large communal mural that stays at the school as a permanent piece of art, or they can work on individual canvases that they get to take home. Many Toronto schools love the mural option as it brightens up the playground and creates a lasting sense of pride for the students who contributed to it.

Step by step

Intro & inspiration: We start with a high-energy chat about the history of street art and how it evolved from the streets of New York to the laneways of Toronto.
Safety first: Every student gets geared up with a professional mask, gloves, and a protective suit. We explain how to use the equipment responsibly.
The first line: Our artists demonstrate basic techniques—how to control the pressure, distance, and angle of the spray can to move from blobs to sharp lines.
Sketching the vision: Students use markers or light spray to sketch their design. We encourage them to think big and bold!
Color & fill: This is where the magic happens. Kids learn how to fill in their shapes and create cool gradients using a variety of vibrant colours.
The outline: We teach the "pro trick" of outlining, which makes the artwork pop and look like a real piece of street art.
Character & flair: Students add highlights, shadows, or "bubbles" to give their work personality and unique Toronto style.
Grand reveal: We step back as a group to admire the finished masterpiece, whether it's a individual canvas or a massive school mural.
Cleanup & wrap-up: We pack up all materials and leave the site spotless, leaving behind only the incredible artwork and some very inspired kids!

Good to know

Our Toronto workshops are designed to be "plug and play" for schools. We bring all the supplies, including premium spray paint, caps, and safety gear. Sessions usually last between 90 minutes and 2 hours, making them perfect for a double-period art block. We can work with small groups or entire grade levels—we just bring more artists! Safety is handled with professional-grade respirators and full-body suits to keep those school uniforms clean. 🛡️

Local culture

Toronto is a world-renowned hub for street art, from the iconic Graffiti Alley (Rush Lane) to the stunning murals in the Underpass Park. We bring that local "6ix" spirit into every workshop, teaching kids about the artists who have shaped our city's visual identity. We love incorporating local Toronto vibes into our designs—think CN Tower silhouettes or Raccoon mascots!

Fun Fact: Did you know that Toronto has an official "Street Art Toronto" (StART) program? The city actually encourages murals to reduce vandalism and brighten up neighborhoods—exactly the kind of positive community message we teach your students! 🎨

Pricing

We believe every student in the GTA should have access to high-quality art experiences. Our primary school workshops are priced competitively to fit within school budgets:

Price range: C$40 - C$90 per student (varies based on group size and mural vs. individual canvas setup).
No upfront payment: Relax! You only pay after the workshop is complete and everyone is 100% happy.
All-inclusive: This covers artists, all paint, safety gear, and surface materials.

Every school has different needs, so let's chat about your specific goals!
