Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?

Absolutely! We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our spray paints are low-odour and we always prioritize outdoor or well-ventilated spaces for our sessions. Our professional instructors are also trained to manage groups safely, ensuring a fun and secure environment for everyone to explore their creativity without any worries.

Where do the school workshops take place in Montreal?

We are totally mobile! We love coming to your school grounds if you have a suitable outdoor wall or open space. If your school doesn't have the space, don't sweat it—we can arrange a workshop at one of Montreal's cool legal graffiti zones or a local studio. We'll work with you to find the perfect spot that fits your logistics.

How long does a typical school workshop last?

Typically, our school sessions last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a quick history lesson, a demo of the techniques, and plenty of hands-on painting time! We can also adapt the duration to fit your specific school timetable or double-period schedule if needed. Just let us know what works best for your students.

Can you accommodate large groups or entire grade levels?

While our standard packages are designed for groups of 10 to 30 students to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention, we can definitely accommodate larger grades! For big school events, we bring in extra backup artists to split the group into smaller, manageable squads. This ensures every student gets a chance to spray while keeping the energy high and the quality top-notch.

Do students need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, how to control the pressure, and how to create clean lines. Our Montreal artists are experts at encouraging students who might feel a bit shy about their artistic skills. By the end of the day, everyone will have created something they can be proud of!

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

We've got you covered. In the event of typical Montreal rain, we can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space with proper ventilation where we use water-based spray paints. We also have a flexible rescheduling policy or backup artists ready to go. We'll monitor the forecast closely with you to make sure the day is a success!

What should students wear for the workshop?

While we provide protective overalls, we always recommend that students wear 'work clothes' or items they don't mind getting a little paint on. Spray paint is permanent and has a way of finding its way onto shoes or sleeves! Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety. We provide all the professional gear, so just bring your enthusiasm and old sneakers.

Local culture

Montreal lives and breathes art, from the towering murals along Saint-Laurent Boulevard to the hidden gems in the Plateau. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, teaching students the difference between "vandalism" and the respected "muralismo" culture that makes our city famous worldwide. We love sharing stories about the MURAL Festival and how street art has transformed Montreal's urban landscape into an open-air museum. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Montreal is home to one of the oldest legal graffiti walls in North America? It’s a city that truly respects the craft, making it the perfect backdrop for your students to learn! 🇨🇦
