Do I need prior art experience to participate in the festival workshop?

Not at all! Our Philadelphia workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through everything from how to hold a spray can to mastering advanced shading techniques. By the end of the festival session, you will be amazed at the masterpiece you have created, even if you have never picked up a can of paint before in your life. We focus on fun and expression!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

We take safety seriously! We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks to prevent inhalation of fumes. Modern spray paint is much safer than the old-school stuff, but we still ensure every session is held in a well-ventilated outdoor or large industrial indoor space. Our professional instructors provide a full safety briefing before anyone starts spraying, ensuring a worry-free experience for everyone.

What should I wear to the graffiti street art festival?

You should wear comfortable clothes that you do not mind getting a little messy. While we provide protective ponchos and gloves, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto shoes or sleeves. Think 'painter chic'! Avoid your favorite designer sneakers or expensive fabrics. We recommend closed-toe shoes and maybe a hat if we are working outside under the Philly sun. It is all part of the authentic artist experience.

How much does a graffiti workshop experience cost in Philly?

Pricing typically ranges from $35 to $75 per person. The final cost depends on factors like your group size, the duration of the workshop, and the specific materials or custom canvases requested. We pride ourselves on transparency, so there are no hidden fees. Because every festival event is unique, we recommend hitting our 'Request a Quote' button to get a specialized estimate tailored specifically to your needs.

Can children join the workshop?

Absolutely! We love hosting younger artists. For our festival-style workshops, we generally recommend a minimum age of around 6 to 8 years old, as they need enough hand strength to press the spray nozzle. We use water-based spray paint for kids' sessions when possible and ensure extra supervision. It is a fantastic way for children to develop their fine motor skills while letting their imaginations run wild in a safe, controlled environment.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard festival workshop usually lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of Philly street art, a demonstration of techniques, practice time, and the creation of your final piece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' where energy stays high and creativity flows without getting tired. If you have a specific schedule for your event, we can always adapt the timing to fit!

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

Philadelphia weather can be unpredictable, but we have you covered! If we are scheduled for an outdoor festival and rain is in the forecast, we usually have backup indoor locations or we can set up professional-grade tents. In extreme cases, we can reschedule to a better day. Don't worry—with our network of backup artists and flexible planning, your graffiti experience is in safe hands regardless of the clouds.

Creative collaboration during a graffiti company outing

Local culture

Philadelphia is widely considered the birthplace of modern graffiti, thanks to legends like Cornbread who started tagging in the late 60s. Today, the city is a living museum, boasting more murals than any other city in the US. Our workshops pay homage to this rich heritage, connecting you with the spirit of the Mural Arts Program and the gritty, beautiful aesthetic of the Reading Viaduct. We don't just teach you how to paint; we immerse you in the local 'Philly Style'—known for its tall, lean lettering and aggressive flows. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Philly’s own 'Cornbread' once tagged an elephant at the Philadelphia Zoo just to prove a point? While we don’t recommend tagging local wildlife, we definitely encourage that level of bold ambition! 🐘
