Do I need to have any artistic experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our guests have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists walk you through everything from basic safety to advanced shading techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at what you can create. We focus on fun and expression, so there is no pressure to be a 'pro'—just come ready to have a blast with us!

What should I wear to the workshop?

We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective ponchos to keep your clothes clean. However, graffiti is a hands-on activity, and spray paint can be unpredictable! We highly recommend wearing comfortable clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a little 'artistic' on. We'll take care of the rest of the supplies like cans, caps, and canvases.

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

Philadelphia is known for its sunshine but also its unpredictable rain. Most of our tourist workshops are held at locations with covered areas or indoor options. If the weather is truly uncooperative, we can usually reschedule or move the event to a fully indoor studio space so your vacation plans don't get washed away. We always have a backup plan!

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard workshop for tourists typically lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of Philly's street art, learn the technical basics, and let you finish your masterpiece. If you're on a tight schedule while visiting the city, just let us know, and we can tailor the timing to fit your itinerary!

Is the workshop safe for children and families?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and provide professional-grade respiratory masks for everyone. All sessions are led by experienced artists who ensure the environment is safe, ventilated, and fun for all ages. You get to enjoy the 'rebellious' vibe of street art with total peace of mind.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes! One of the best things about our Philadelphia tourist workshops is that you create your own piece on a professional canvas or board. Unlike a wall, you can take this home as the ultimate personalized souvenir of your trip to the City of Brotherly Love. It’s a one-of-a-kind memory that fits right in your suitcase or car!

Local culture

Philadelphia is often called the "Mural Capital of the World," boasting thousands of public artworks that tell the city's story. From the legendary roots of modern graffiti in the late 60s to the massive Mural Arts program today, Philly’s streets are a living gallery. When you join our workshop, you're tapping into a legacy that started right here in the neighborhoods of North and West Philly.

Fun Fact: Did you know Philadelphia is widely considered the birthplace of modern graffiti? A teenager named Cornbread started tagging his name across the city in 1965 to get a girl's attention, effectively sparking the global movement we see today! 🥨🏆
