Do I need to be an artist to participate in the retreat?

No experience is necessary! Our Vancouver retreat workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional street artists guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering complex fading techniques. We focus on the creative process and having a blast, so don't worry about your "artistic" skills—everyone leaves with a masterpiece they are proud of.🎨

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything! Your session includes premium low-pressure spray cans in a rainbow of colors, high-quality canvases or wall space, gloves, and protective masks. We also provide professional-grade aprons to keep your clothes clean. Just bring your enthusiasm and wear comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint dust on! ✨

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

While we provide protective gear, we recommend wearing comfortable "work clothes" and sneakers. Spray paint is permanent on fabric, and while we take every precaution, a little "overspray" or paint dust can happen in the excitement of the moment. Think of it as your artist's uniform for the day! 👟

Is the spray paint safe to use?

The safety of our participants is our top priority. We use high-quality spray paint and provide professional-grade masks and gloves for everyone. Our Vancouver workshops are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoor spaces. Our instructors are also trained to ensure everyone uses the equipment safely and responsibly throughout the retreat. 🛡️

Can you host the workshop at a location of my choice?

Absolutely! We love hosting retreats in various spots across Vancouver. Whether you want to paint in a local park, a rented studio, or even at your own backyard or office space (if suitable), we can make it happen. We bring all the necessary ground protection and mobile walls if needed to ensure a clean and professional setup. 📍

How long does the graffiti retreat workshop last?

Our creative retreats typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction, practicing basic strokes, developing your unique design, and completing your final piece. We can also customize the duration to fit your specific retreat schedule or team-building needs. ⏳

What happens if I need to cancel or change my booking?

We have a "no stress" booking policy. There is no upfront payment required—you pay after the workshop is complete and you're 100% satisfied. We also have a network of backup artists on standby to ensure your Vancouver event goes off without a hitch, even in the rare case of an emergency. ✌️

Local culture

Vancouver is a city where nature meets urban grit, and our workshops reflect that unique balance. From the mural-covered corridors of Mount Pleasant to the industrial-chic vibes of Granville Island, the city's street art scene is exploding with local talent. We draw inspiration from the massive public works you see during the annual Vancouver Mural Festival, bringing that same professional energy to your retreat. Whether we are painting against a backdrop of the North Shore mountains or tucked away in a cool Gastown studio, the local "rain-or-shine" spirit keeps the creativity flowing.

Fun fact: Did you know Vancouver is home to one of the world's most famous legal graffiti walls? The "Leeside" tunnel pay tribute to local skater Lee Matasi and is a legendary spot for street artists to hone their craft! 🛹
