Do we need to have any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely no experience is required! Our professional artists specialize in teaching beginners. We start with the basics of can control, nozzle types, and safety, ensuring every student feels confident before they touch the wall. Most participants are shocked by what they can produce in just a couple of hours. It’s all about the process, the creative energy, and having a blast with your fellow students.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a successful session! This includes premium low-pressure spray paint in a vibrant array of colors, various nozzles (caps) for different effects, protective hooded suits, gloves, and high-quality masks. We also provide the practice surfaces or canvases. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and shoes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on, just in case!

Is the spray paint safe to use for students?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odor, high-quality spray paint and provide all participants with professional-grade protective gear, including masks and gloves. Our instructors or 'graffiti mentors' provide a comprehensive safety briefing before we begin. We also ensure our workshop locations are well-ventilated or outdoors, adhering to all NYC safety standards to keep the vibes high and the risks low.

How long does a typical university graffiti session last?

Our university workshops typically run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for the intro, technique practice, and the final creation of a collaborative mural or individual pieces. If you have a specific time slot during a campus event or Greek Life week, we can customize the flow to fit your schedule perfectly. We’re all about flexibility to make your event a success!

Can students take their artwork home after the event?

Most definitely! While we love large-scale collaborative murals that look great on campus, we can also arrange for students to work on individual canvases or boards that they can take home. This makes for an amazing, personalized souvenir of the day. Just let us know your preference when booking so we can bring the right supplies to your NYC location.

What is your payment and cancellation policy for student groups?

We understand that university budgets and event planning can be complex. That’s why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy and never require upfront payments. You can book your date with total peace of mind. Plus, we always have backup artists on standby, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation ruining your big campus event. We've got your back!

Can you host the workshop directly on our campus?

We can come directly to your campus if you have a suitable outdoor space, or we can host you at one of our partner street art locations in neighborhoods like Brooklyn or Queens. We bring all the protective floor and wall coverings necessary to keep the area clean. Whether it's a quad, a parking lot, or a dedicated art space, we'll make it work for your New York City event.

Local culture

New York City isn't just a place where graffiti happened—it's the place where it was born! From the legendary 5Pointz legacy to the vibrant walls of the Bushwick Collective, the Five Boroughs are a living, breathing gallery. Our workshops tap into this rich heritage, giving students a chance to connect with the authentic spirit of NYC. 🍎

🗽 Fun Fact: Did you know that the term 'tagging' became a global phenomenon right here in the 1970s? Local legends like Taki 183 started a movement that traveled from the subway cars to the world's most prestigious art galleries. When you pick up a can in our NYC workshop, you're literally holding a piece of history!

Pricing

Our university workshops are designed to be accessible and high-impact. Pricing typically ranges from $35 to $75 per person, depending on the number of participants, the location, and the specific workshop format you choose.

We believe in total transparency and flexibility—that's why we require no upfront payment. You only pay after the masterpiece is finished and the fun is had! 🚀
