Is the graffiti workshop safe for participants with sensory sensitivities?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority in Shanghai. We use high-quality, low-odour water-based spray paints for our special needs sessions whenever possible, and we provide all necessary protective gear including masks, gloves, and aprons. Our professional artists are trained to supervise the session closely, ensuring everyone can enjoy the creative process in a secure, controlled, and supportive environment. Your peace of mind is essential to us.

Where in Shanghai do the workshops take place?

Our workshops are fully mobile! We can host the event at a variety of accessible outdoor spaces and creative hubs across Shanghai, or we can bring the entire 'street art studio' to your specific location, such as a school, community centre, or healthcare facility. We ensure the chosen venue has the necessary accessibility features, such as ramps and wide doorways, so that everyone can participate comfortably without barriers.

How long does a typical session last?

We generally recommend a duration of 1.5 to 2 hours for our special needs programs. This timeframe is ideal as it allows plenty of time for creative exploration and 'making a mess' without becoming overstimulating or tiring. However, we are completely flexible; if your group requires a shorter session with more breaks or a longer, more relaxed pace, we can customise the schedule to fit your needs perfectly.

What is the maximum group size for a special needs workshop?

There is no 'one size fits all' here! We cap our group sizes to ensure a high artist-to-participant ratio, typically maintaining small groups so each person gets individual attention. For larger organisations in Shanghai, we can provide multiple artists to lead smaller sub-groups simultaneously. This ensures the environment remains calm and that every participant receives the encouragement and technical help they need to create something they are proud of.

Do participants need previous art experience?

That is the best part—you don’t need any! Our Shanghai artists are experts at guiding people who have never held a spray can before. We focus on the joy of movement, the vibrancy of the colours, and the freedom of expression rather than technical perfection. Whether a participant wants to paint a specific shape or just enjoy the sensation of the paint hitting the canvas, we support every level of ability.

How do we handle payments and bookings?

We make the booking process as stress-free as possible. You don't need to pay anything upfront! You can request a quote via our website, and once the details are settled, you only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. We also have backup artists on standby across the city to ensure that your event goes ahead as planned, even if an emergency arises. We're here to make it easy!

Local culture

Shanghai is a city where tradition meets a futuristic pulse, and its street art scene is no different. While the city is known for its gleaming skyscrapers, hidden corners like the M50 Creative Park or the artistic enclaves of the Former French Concession prove that Shanghai has a deep appreciation for visual expression. Our workshops tap into this local energy, offering a space where participants can feel like part of the city’s evolving urban culture. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that "M50" in Shanghai was once a complex of industrial textile mills? Today, it is the beating heart of the city's contemporary art scene, proving that even the most functional spaces can be transformed into something beautiful—just like our graffiti canvases!

In a city as fast-paced as Shanghai, our workshops provide a much-needed outlet for slow, tactile, and rewarding creative play. We take pride in contributing to the inclusive spirit of this global metropolis, ensuring that the joy of street art is accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or ability level. 🏙️
