How long does a typical street art festival workshop last?

Most of our Montreal festival workshops last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives you enough time to learn the basic strokes, practice your flow, and complete a final piece you’re proud of. If you're part of a larger festival activation, we can also offer 'drop-in' style sessions that are shorter, allowing more people to cycle through and try their hand at the cans throughout the day.

Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone from absolute beginners to closet doodles. Our pro artists guide you through every step, starting with how to hold the spray can and control the pressure. Montreal is a city that celebrates creativity in all forms, so we focus on the joy of making marks rather than following strict rules. You'll be surprised at what you can create!

What should I wear and what equipment is provided?

We’ve got you covered. We provide high-quality spray paint, protective gloves, and masks. For festival settings, we often provide disposable ponchos or aprons to protect your clothes. That said, we always recommend wearing 'painting clothes'—items you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on, just in case. Sneakers are better than sandals too, given you'll be on your feet on city pavement.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children and families?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and provide high-quality respiratory protection. Our artists provide a safety briefing before anyone touches a can, explaining distance, ventilation, and proper usage. In Montreal, we ensure our setup complies with local outdoor event regulations, making sure the experience is a blast for participants and spectators alike.

What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?

Montreal weather can be unpredictable, but we’re prepared! If the festival has a rain-or-shine policy, we try to set up under gazebos or tents. If the weather turns truly nasty, we can often move the workshop to a covered indoor location nearby or reschedule for a clearer day. We always communicate with organizers and participants to ensure no one misses out on the fun due to a few raindrops.

Can we create an individual piece or is it only a group mural?

Absolutely! While many festivals feature communal murals where everyone contributes to one big masterpiece, we also offer options where you can paint on your own individual canvas or board. This is a popular choice for those who want a physical souvenir of their Montreal street art experience to hang on their wall at home. Just let us know your preference when booking.

How much does it cost to bring Graffitifun to our event?

Our pricing is flexible to fit different festival scales. Generally, prices range from C$40 to C$90 per person, depending on the number of participants, the amount of paint used, and the duration of the event. For large-scale festivals in Montreal, we offer custom packages that can include multiple artists and high-volume throughput. Hit us up for a custom quote to get the exact numbers for your event!

Local culture

Montreal isn't just a city with some graffiti; it's a living, breathing outdoor gallery. From the world-famous MURAL Festival to the hidden gems in the back alleys of Mile End, street art is woven into the city's DNA. The local scene is known for its blend of European flair and gritty North American edge, creating a style that is uniquely Montrealais.

Fun fact: Montreal was one of the first cities in North America to officially bridge the gap between "vandalism" and fine art, creating legal walls and major festivals that attract artists from Tokyo to Paris every summer!

When you join our workshop, you're not just spraying paint; you're participating in a tradition that defines the modern spirit of Montreal. We love taking inspiration from the city's iconic landmarks and local "joie de vivre" to guide your artistic choices.

Pricing

Our Montreal workshop experiences are designed to be accessible and high-impact. Pricing typically ranges from C$40 to C$90 per person.

Because every festival and event is unique—ranging from school pop-ups to massive brand activations—our final pricing depends on your specific group size, the amount of materials needed, and the duration of the setup.

No upfront payment required! You can book with confidence and pay after the workshop is complete. We believe in our experience 100%.
