Do we need any previous art experience to participate?

No prior artistic experience or "talent" is required! Our professional artists specialize in teaching beginners. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create smooth lines. By the end of the session, even those who thought they couldn't draw a stick figure will be amazed at the vibrant, large-scale graffiti piece they've helped create. It's all about expression and having a blast!

Is the workshop safe, and what protective gear is provided?

We take safety seriously. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective ponchos to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. We use professional-grade spray paints and always conduct our university workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially equipped indoor spaces. Our artists provide a safety briefing at the start of every session to ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly and stays safe while getting creative.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard university graffiti workshop in Montreal typically lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This timeframe allows enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the completion of a final group masterpiece. We can also customize the duration to fit into your student orientation schedule or campus event timeline if you need something shorter or longer.

Can we choose a specific theme or local Montreal message for our mural?

Absolutely! We encourage student groups to choose a theme that represents their faculty, club, or university spirit. Whether it's a specific message of inclusion, a celebration of your school mascot, or a wild abstract concept, our artists will help you translate those ideas into a professional-looking mural. Just let us know your vision beforehand, and we will bring the right colours and stencils to make it happen!

What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor campus workshop?

Montreal weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. If you have an indoor space available on campus, we can easily move the workshop inside using drop cloths and ventilation. Alternatively, because we have a large team of backup artists and flexible scheduling, we can often reschedule to a better day or provide sturdy pop-up tents for light drizzle. We ensure the fun continues, rain or shine!

What is the minimum and maximum group size for university events?

We are incredibly flexible with group sizes! We can host intimate sessions for small student committees of 10 people or massive "drop-in" style activations for hundreds of students during Frosh Week or campus festivals. For very large groups, we bring in additional professional artists to ensure everyone gets hands-on time with the spray cans and receives personal guidance throughout the creative process.

How does the payment process work for university organizations?

We make the planning process as stress-free as possible. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. After the workshop is complete and you’re 100% satisfied with the experience, we will send an invoice for payment. This allows student unions and university departments to process the payment through their standard administrative channels without any personal out-of-pocket expenses for the student organizers. Professionals through and through!

First lines: Each student gets their own station to practice basic "can control"—dots, lines, and fades.
The sketch: Our lead artist outlines the main design on the canvas or wall based on your chosen theme.
Fill-in time: Everyone grabs a can! This is the high-energy phase where the group fills the piece with vibrant colours.
The "cut-in": Learn how to sharpen your edges and add professional outlines to make the art pop. 🎨
Detailing & 3D: Add highlights, shadows, and cool "bubbles" or "drips" to give the mural depth.
The tag: Every participant learns how to create their own unique tag to sign the collective masterpiece.
Photo op: We wrap up with a group photo in front of your finished work—perfect for the university Gram! 📸

Local culture

Montreal is the undisputed street art capital of Canada. From the massive murals of the Mural Festival on Boulevard Saint-Laurent to the hidden gems in the Plateau and Saint-Henri, this city breathes creativity. Our workshops tap into that local "Joie de Vivre" and the rebellious spirit of the 514.

Fun Fact: Did you know Montreal was one of the first North American cities to actively fund large-scale murals to prevent illegal tagging? Now, the city boasts over 3,500 legal pieces of outdoor art!

Whether you're studying at McGill, Concordia, UdeM, or UQAM, we bring that authentic Montreal "ruelle" energy to your campus safely and professionally.

Pricing

Our university sessions are designed to be accessible and high-impact. Prices typically range from C$40 to C$90 per person, depending on the group size, location, and the type of surface we are painting.

We offer special rates for student student unions, residence associations, and non-profit campus groups. 🎉

No upfront payment required! Secure your date now and pay after the fun is done.
