How long does a typical workshop last for secondary students?

Most of our secondary school workshops in Galway take about 2 to 3 hours. This gives the students enough time to learn the basic history of street art, practice their can control on cardboard, and then collaborate on a final masterpiece. We can also adjust the timing to fit into a specific double-period or a full TY project day depending on your school's schedule.

Is it safe for the students to use spray paint?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our spray paints are low-odour and we always work in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open halls. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups and ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly while having a brilliant time.

Do the students need to have any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from the student who thinks they can't draw a stick figure to the talented art portfolio student. Our artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We focus on 'can control' and layering techniques that allow everyone to create something they are genuinely proud of by the end of the day.

Where in Galway do the workshops take place?

We are flexible! We can bring the workshop directly to your school grounds in Galway—using a courtyard, sports field, or car park. If your school doesn't have a suitable space, we can help arrange a local spot or use mobile graffiti walls. As long as we have a bit of fresh air and space to move, we can make the magic happen anywhere.

How does this fit into the school curriculum?

Graffiti is a fantastic way to hit Learning Outcomes in the Junior and Senior Cycle Art curricula. It covers typography, colour theory, collaboration, and contemporary art history. It is also an incredible confidence builder for Transition Year (TY) students. Many schools use our workshops as a springboard for larger mural projects or as a reward for a hardworking year group.

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

We've got you covered. In the event of typical Galway 'soft weather' (rain), we can move the session under a canopy, into a well-ventilated gym, or reschedule to a better day. Since we have a team of backup artists, we are very reliable and rarely have to cancel. We always have a Plan B to ensure the students don't miss out on the fun.

Are there discounts for larger year groups?

Our pricing is volume-based, typically ranging from €30 to €60 per student. Larger year groups or multiple sessions booked on the same day usually result in a lower price per head. This includes all premium paints, safety gear, boards, and the expert tutor. For a precise figure tailored to your specific group size, just click our 'Request a Quote' button.

Step by step

Design Consultation: We chat about themes. Whether it's 'Equality', 'School Spirit', or 'Environmental Awareness', we tailor the workshop to your goals.
Safety Briefing: On the day, we start by getting everyone suited and booted in protective gear and explaining the golden rules of the spray can.
Skill Building: Students start with the basics—lines, dots, and fills. Our artists demonstrate how to move the body to get the smoothest finish.
Sketching the Mural: The group works together to outline a large-scale design, learning about perspective and scale in street art.
The Big Paint: This is where the magic happens! Students fill in the mural, adding highlights, shadows, and their own unique 'tags' or characters.
The Grand Reveal: We finish with a group photo in front of the completed work. The sense of achievement in the air is always electric!

Local culture

Galway is a city that breathes creativity, from the colourful shop fronts of Quay Street to the world-class performances during the Galway International Arts Festival. Street art is a huge part of our local identity, with murals tucked away in the West End and along the Corrib that tell the stories of our tribes. We love bringing this 'City of Tribes' spirit into our workshops, encouraging students to draw inspiration from Galway’s rich maritime history and its legendary busking culture. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Galway was the European Capital of Culture in 2020? That legacy of artistic boldness is exactly what we aim to spark in every student who picks up a can during our sessions!
