Is the graffiti workshop safe for high school students?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority in Toronto. We provide all secondary school students with high-quality protective gear, including professional masks, gloves, and overalls to keep clothes clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas, and we use low-odor spray cans whenever possible. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups closely, ensuring every student follows safety protocols while having an absolute blast expressing their creativity.

Do the students spray on actual city walls?

While we love the raw energy of Toronto's street art, our workshops focus on legal, creative expression. We teach students the difference between vandalism and street art, emphasizing respect for public property. Each student works on a dedicated canvas or a temporary wall setup provided by us. This allows them to explore the medium's artistic value and history without any legal risks, turning's 'street' energy into a positive school project.

Do students need prior art experience to participate?

None at all! That’s the beauty of Graffitifun. Whether a student is a gifted painter or hasn't picked up a brush since kindergarten, our Toronto-based artists guide them through the basics. We start with simple lines and 'tags' before moving on to complex 3D letters and shading. We've seen many high schoolers discover a hidden talent they never knew they had during our two-hour sessions!

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything needed for a successful event in the GTA! This includes a wide variety of spray paint colors, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the surfaces to paint on (like canvases or large boards). We also bring professional caps (nozzles) that allow for different spray effects. You just need to provide the space and the students—we handle the messy setup and the cleanup.

How long does a typical workshop last?

Our workshops are quite flexible to fit the Toronto district school schedules. A typical secondary school session lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for a brief history of graffiti culture, a safety demonstration, technique practice, and the final creation of their masterpiece. If you have a specific double-period or a full 'arts day' planned, we can certainly customize the timing to suit your needs.

Can we create one large mural together as a group?

Definitely! We love collaborative projects. We can organize the workshop so that students work in small groups to create a massive interconnected mural. This is a fantastic team-building exercise that teaches communication and shared vision. Many Toronto schools use this option to create a permanent piece of art for their hallways, gyms, or common areas, giving students a lasting sense of pride and ownership.

What is the cost for a secondary school workshop in Toronto?

We understand that school budgets can be tight. Our pricing in Toronto typically ranges from C$40 to C$90 per student, depending on the group size and the specific materials requested. The more students participate, the lower the per-person cost usually is. You don't have to pay anything upfront, and we are happy to provide a detailed, transparent quote tailored to your school's specific requirements.

Local culture

Toronto is a global heavyweight in the street art scene. From the iconic Graffiti Alley (Rush Lane) to the massive murals of the Underpass Park, the city treats public art as a vital part of its identity. Our workshops tap into this local heritage, showing students that the art they see while commuting on the TTC is a valid and respected career path. We often discuss how Toronto's 'StreetARToronto' (StART) program has transformed the city into an open-air gallery, encouraging students to think about how they can contribute positively to their own neighborhoods like North York, Scarborough, or Etobicoke. 🏙️

Fun Fact: Did you know Toronto's "Graffiti Alley" is nearly a kilometer long? It has been used as a backdrop for countless music videos and even Rick Mercer's famous 'Rants'!

Pricing

Our workshop prices in Toronto are designed to be competitive and school-budget-friendly. Generally, costs range between C$40 and C$90 per student. This depends on factors like the number of participants, the duration of the session, and whether you want students to keep individual canvases or create one large collective mural. The best part? No upfront payment is required—you only pay after the workshop is complete!
