Is the graffiti workshop safe for students during school holidays?

Absolutely! We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep everyone\'s clothes clean. Our instructors are professional artists who supervise the group at all times, ensuring that the spray cans are used correctly and safely. It is a controlled, creative environment perfect for students to explore their artistic side without any risks.

Do students need any previous art experience to participate?

No prior experience is needed at all! Our Chicago workshops are designed for beginners. Our artists start with the absolute basics, from how to hold a spray can to mastering simple lines and fades. We believe everyone has a creative spark, and our mission is to help students find theirs through the vibrant medium of street art. Kids and teens will be amazed at what they can create!

How long does a typical holiday workshop last?

Most of our Chicago school holiday sessions last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction, some practice drills on the practice wall, and the creation of a final masterpiece. We find this is the "sweet spot" where energy stays high and everyone remains fully engaged without getting tired. Specialized longer sessions are available upon request.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything! Your booking includes all high-quality spray paint in a rainbow of colors, protective gear (suits, gloves, masks), and the surfaces we’ll be painting on. For school holiday programs, we often provide individual canvases or boards so students have something professional to take home and show off to their friends and family. Just show up in comfortable clothes!

What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor workshop?

Chicago weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered! We have access to several indoor creative spaces throughout the city where we can host workshops safely and dryly. If we have an outdoor session planned and the weather turns, we can usually pivot to an indoor location or reschedule to ensure everyone has the best possible experience without the wind and rain.

Can you accommodate large groups for holiday programs?

We are very flexible with group sizes! Whether you are a small group of friends or a large community holiday program with 50+ students, we can accommodate you. For larger groups, we simply bring in more of our expert artists to ensure every student gets individual attention and guidance. We maintain a great artist-to-student ratio to keep the quality high.

How do I book a session and when do I need to pay?

Booking is easy and stress-free! You can start by using our online Cost Calculator or simply send us a request via our contact form. One of our Chicago coordinators will get back to you with a custom quote. The best part? There is no upfront payment required—you pay after the workshop is completed, ensuring you are 100% happy with the experience!
