Do students need to have any artistic experience?

No prior talent or experience is needed! Our workshops are designed to take students from 'I can't draw a stick figure' to 'I just painted a masterpiece' in a single session. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps, focusing on technique and creative expression rather than fine-art perfection. It is all about having fun and trying something new!

Is the spray paint safe for high school students?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep clothes clean. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially ventilated indoor spaces. Our instructors are trained to oversee the group closely, ensuring everyone uses the spray cans correctly and safely.

What kind of paint do you use?

We utilize a mix of high-quality professional spray paints and specialized low-odour water-based cans for school environments. These are much friendlier for younger lungs and the environment while still providing the vibrant, punchy colours that make graffiti so exciting. We always prioritize products that balance high performance with the health and safety of your students.

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard secondary school workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the culture, a demo of basic techniques, practice sessions, and the final creation of a large-scale mural or individual canvases. We can also adapt the timing to fit into your specific school period schedule or double-block classes.

Where in Montreal do the workshops take place?

We can bring the workshop to you! We often set up on school blacktops, sports fields, or even inside gyms using protective floor coverings. If your school doesn't have a suitable space, we can also arrange for a session at one of Montreal's legal graffiti walls or a local studio partner. We handle all the setup and teardown logistics.

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

Weather in Montreal can be unpredictable! If we have booked an outdoor session and it rains, we usually have a few options: we can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area, move it indoors with extra ventilation and floor protection, or reschedule for a better day. We stay in close contact with you leading up to the event to ensure a backup plan is in place.

Can the workshop be integrated into our school curriculum?

Absolutely. Graffiti is an excellent tool for teaching teamwork, social-emotional learning, and urban history. We can tailor the workshop to focus on specific themes like 'Community,' 'Resilience,' or 'Future Goals.' Many teachers find it's a great way to engage students who might struggle in traditional academic settings, giving them a unique sense of accomplishment and pride.
