Do I need any previous art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Most of our guests have never touched a spray can before. Our Montreal artists specialize in teaching beginners. We start with basic safety and nozzle control before moving on to lines, fills, and drop shadows. You'll be amazed at how quickly you pick up the techniques under the guidance of a pro. Our goal is to make sure you leave feeling like a real street artist.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything you need for the ultimate Montreal street art experience! This includes high-quality spray paint in a rainbow of colours, various nozzles (caps) for different effects, protective gloves, and masks. We also provide the surface you'll be painting on. You just need to bring your creativity and wear clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on—just in case!

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

Montreal's weather can be unpredictable, but the fun doesn't stop! We have access to various indoor and sheltered locations across the city to ensure your workshop goes off without a hitch. If the weather is beautiful, we often work at legal outdoor walls to give you the most authentic experience possible. We always confirm the exact location with you before the session starts.

Is the spray paint safe to use for everyone?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and gloves to all participants. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas, and our instructors are trained to monitor the group for safe spray practices. We use professional-grade paint, but we ensure everyone follows strict protocols to keep the environment fun and hazard-free for tourists of all ages.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Our standard tourist workshops in Montreal typically run between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the local scene, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of "wall time" for you to create your masterpiece. If you have a larger group or want a more in-depth masterclass, we can easily extend the duration to suit your schedule.

Can children and teenagers participate in the graffiti workshop?

Yes! We love hosting families visiting Montreal. Street art is a fantastic way for kids and teens to express themselves. We generally recommend that participants be at least 6-8 years old to have the hand strength to cap the spray cans, but we can adjust our teaching style for almost any age. It's a memory-making activity that the whole family will enjoy together.

Local culture

Montreal is a world-renowned hub for urban creativity, home to the famous Mural Festival and the Under Pressure International Graffiti Convention. The city's walls are a living, breathing museum of stencil work, wildstyle tags, and massive multi-storey productions. Our workshops tap into this local energy, often held near the vibrant neighbourhoods of Mile End or the Plateau, where the history of the "Main" comes alive through paint.

Fun Fact: Montreal was one of the first cities in North America to officially embrace street art as a cultural asset, leading to the creation of hundreds of legal murals that you can tour before or after your workshop! 🇨🇦

When you join us, you're not just taking a class; you're stepping into the lineage of Montreal's artistic pioneers who transformed the city's concrete into a colourful playground.
