Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our Calgary university workshops are designed for everyone, from complete beginners to seasoned doodlers. Our pro artists guide you through every step, starting with basic safety and can control. You don't need any prior artistic talent—just an open mind and a willingness to get a little paint on your hands. Most students are shocked by how good their final piece looks!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to create your masterpiece. This includes premium spray cans in a wide variety of colors, high-quality caps for different line widths, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or temporary walls for the workshop. All you need to bring is your energy and some comfortable shoes!

How do you handle safety and ventilation?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and protective gloves for all participants. Our artists also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, teaching you how to use the equipment properly and how to manage the workspace safely. We ensure the environment is well-ventilated and secure for everyone involved.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

While we provide protective overalls and gloves, we always recommend wearing clothes you don't mind getting a little 'artistic' on. Spray paint is permanent, and while we take precautions, a stray mist can happen! Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety. Think comfortable, casual, and ready for a bit of creative mess.

How long does a university workshop session last?

A standard university workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for the intro, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of your large-scale piece. We can adjust the duration based on your specific campus schedule or event timeline—just let us know what works best for your student group!

Can you accommodate large student groups or clubs?

We are super flexible! Whether you are a small group of friends from a dorm or a massive student union event for 100+ people, we can scale to fit. For very large groups, we bring in multiple professional artists to ensure everyone gets enough hands-on instruction and attention. Large-scale collaborative murals are a huge hit for orientation weeks!

What happens if an artist is unavailable on the day?

We offer total peace of mind for event organizers. One of our biggest strengths is our backup artist system. If your assigned lead artist gets sick or can't make it, we have a professional standby ready to step in. Your event will go on as planned, no matter what. We haven't missed a scheduled workshop yet!

How does the payment process work?

No upfront payment is required when you book with us. We believe in our service so much that you only pay once the workshop is completed. This keeps the process stress-free for student treasurers and faculty advisors. After the fun is over and the art is done, we handle the administrative side easily.

Local culture

Calgary isn't just about cowboy boots and oil towers; it has a massive heartbeat of urban creativity. From the incredible murals of the BUMP Festival (Beltline Urban Murals Project) to the hidden gems in Sunnyside, the city is becoming a Canadian powerhouse for street art. Our workshops tap into this local energy, encouraging students to draw inspiration from the Bow River's curves or the sharp lines of the Calgary Tower. We bring that authentic YYC street vibe to your campus, creating a space where the "Blue Sky City" spirit meets the grit of the spray can. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know Calgary hosts one of the largest outdoor mural festivals in Canada? The BUMP festival has turned over 100 city walls into giant canvases!
