Student art programs
University graffiti workshops
Bring street art to campus. Our workshops are perfect for student societies, freshers week, art courses, and creative breaks from academic life. Available at universities across the world with student-friendly pricing.
Street art meets academia
What is a university graffiti workshop?
A university graffiti workshop is a professionally facilitated street art session designed specifically for the higher education environment. Whether it is a freshers week ice-breaker, a student society social event, or an integrated part of an art and design curriculum, our workshops bring the energy and creativity of graffiti culture directly to campus life.
Graffitifun has partnered with over 150 universities across the world, from art academies in Amsterdam and Berlin to business schools in London and Barcelona. Our artist-instructors are experienced in working with student groups, adapting content for everything from casual social events to structured academic programs that contribute to portfolio development.
We understand student budgets, schedules, and the unique dynamics of campus events. That is why we offer flexible pricing for student unions, evening and weekend availability, and workshops that scale from intimate society groups of 8 to large-scale orientation events with 200+ participants.

"We booked Graffitifun for our freshers week and it was the most popular event by far. Students are still talking about it months later. Already rebooked for next year!"
