Do we need any previous art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Most of our Chicago corporate groups have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert instructors who break down the process into easy, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and safety, then move into shading and filling. You’ll be amazed at the high-quality mural your team can produce in just a couple of hours with our guidance.

What safety gear do you provide and what should we wear?

We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective ponchos to keep your professional attire clean. While we provide protection, we always recommend that team members wear comfortable clothes and shoes they don't mind getting a little dusty. We use low-odor professional spray paint to ensure a comfortable breathing environment for everyone involved in the session.

Where in Chicago do these team building workshops take place?

We are highly flexible! We can host the workshop at various vibrant outdoor street art spots across Chicago, or we can bring the entire setup to your office parking lot or a rented warehouse space. If you have a specific venue in mind, just let us know. We handle all the prep work and cleanup, ensuring the location is left spotless after your masterpiece is finished.

How long does a typical graffiti workshop last?

A standard team building session typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This includes the initial safety briefing, technique practice, concept brainstorming, and the final execution of your collaborative mural. We can easily adjust the timing to fit into your busy conference schedule or a dedicated afternoon out of the office. Just let us know your time constraints during booking!

Can we create one big mural together as a team?

Yes! One of our most popular corporate formats is the 'Collaborative Mural.' Your team will work together to design and paint a single large-scale piece that represents your company's values, mission, or a specific project goal. It’s a fantastic way to see how individual contributions come together to create a powerful, unified vision. It’s the ultimate exercise in communication and shared success.

How does the payment process work for corporate groups?

We believe in a hassle-free experience. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. Payment is only required after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods including credit cards and bank transfers, making the administrative side as easy as the creative side. Professional invoices are provided for all corporate bookings.

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

Rain is rarely an issue in the Windy City because we always have a plan B. If the weather looks bad for an outdoor session, we can often move to a covered location or reschedule to a better time. With our network of backup artists and flexible logistics, we ensure your team building event goes off without a hitch, regardless of the Chicago forecast.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next Chicago team outing? It’s simple: it levels the playing field. In front of a blank wall, CEOs and interns are equals. Here’s why it works:

🚀 Break the routine: Get out of the office and into a high-energy, creative environment that recharges every soul.
🤝 Unbeatable collaboration: Nothing says "teamwork" like coordinating colors and shapes on a 20-foot mural.
🧠 Unlock hidden talents: You’ll be surprised who in your accounting department turns out to be a master of the stencil!
🔥 Stress relief: There is something incredibly therapeutic about the hiss of a spray can and the flow of bold colors.
📈 Long-term impact: The finished mural (or a photo of it) serves as a lasting reminder of what you can achieve together.

Step by step

Initial briefing & safety: We kick things off with a quick intro to graffiti culture and a vital safety briefing. We suit everyone up in masks, gloves, and ponchos.
Mastering the nozzle: Our pros show you how to control the spray can. You'll learn about distance, pressure, and how different caps create different line widths.
Tagging techniques: Every artist starts with a tag. You'll practice your 'handstyle' on practice boards to get a feel for the flow and rhythm of the paint.
Collaborative sketching: We move to the big canvas. Your team brainstorms the design—incorporating company logos, values, or Chicago-inspired themes.
Outline & fill: The "heavy lifting" begins! Team members work together to fill in large blocks of color and define the basic shapes of your mural.
Adding the 'pop': We teach you shading, highlights, and 3D effects. This is where your artwork starts to look professional and multidimensional.
The sharp outline: Artists use high-contrast colors to clean up the edges. This step makes the entire piece "pop" and look incredibly crisp.
Final touches & group photo: We add any fine details and then stand back to admire the work. We'll take professional-style group photos of your team with their finished masterpiece.

Local culture

Chicago isn't just known for deep-dish pizza and the Cubs; it's a global hub for world-class street art. From the iconic murals of Pilsen to the hidden gems in Logan Square and the Wicker Park arts district, the city is a living gallery. Our workshops tap into this local energy, often taking place near these historic corridors or even at the famous Wabash Arts Corridor. We draw inspiration from the city's gritty industrial roots and its modern architectural marvels, helping your team channel that unique 'Chi-town' spirit into their artwork. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know Chicago is home to some of the largest sanctioned mural festivals in the country? The city's commitment to public art makes it the perfect backdrop for your team to discover their inner Banksy! 🏙️
