How long does a typical university graffiti workshop last?

Most of our university sessions in Shanghai last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives your students enough time to learn the basic strokes, practice their 'tagging' style, and work together on a large-scale collaborative mural. If you have a specific schedule or a shorter seminar break to fill, just let us know and we can provide a high-energy 'taster' session instead.

Do students need to have any prior art experience?

Absolutely not! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from fine arts majors to engineering students who haven't picked up a brush since primary school. Our professional artists guide the group through every step, ensuring that everyone feels confident and capable. It’s all about the experience, the creative release, and having a brilliant time with your peers.

Is the spray paint safe to use on campus?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective ponchos to keep clothes clean. Our spray paints are selected for their quality and we always ensure workshops take place in well-ventilated areas or outdoor spaces. Our artists are trained to manage groups safely while ensuring everyone has a blast with the cans.

Where in Shanghai can we host the workshop?

We are extremely flexible! We can host the workshop at a designated spot on your Shanghai campus, a local park, or one of our partner studio spaces. If you’re worried about making a permanent mess, don't worry—we use mobile graffiti walls or large canvases that can be moved or displayed in the student union later!

What is the maximum group size for a student event?

We recommend a minimum of 10 participants to get the best atmosphere, but we can accommodate huge groups of 100+ students by bringing in extra artists and setting up multiple 'zones'. Because we have a team of backup artists in Shanghai, we can handle last-minute changes in student numbers without any stress or cancellations.

How far in advance should we book a Shanghai workshop?

It’s best to book at least 3-4 weeks in advance, especially during busy periods like Orientation Week or the end of term. However, if you have a last-minute idea for a student social, get in touch anyway! We’re known for our flexibility and will always do our best to squeeze your university group into our schedule.

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next university event in the "Paris of the East"? It’s more than just painting; it’s about building a community and expressing a unique student identity. Check out why we’re a hit on campuses:

Stress Relief: There is nothing more satisfying than the "hiss" of a spray can to decompress after a week of intense exams. 🎤
Zero Barrier to Entry: You don't need to be an art student to excel—our pros make sure everyone leaves feeling like a legend.
Instagram Gold: Your student union social media will blow up with the vibrant, colourful shots of the mural in progress. 📸
Collaborative Spirit: Students from different faculties who might never meet otherwise will work side-by-side on a shared piece of art.
Professional Artists: We don't just send "instructors"—we send active street artists who live and breathe the culture. 🔥
No Stress Booking: With our cost calculator and backup artist guarantee, your event planning is totally bulletproof.

Step by step

Initial enquiry: Reach out to us via our online form. Let us know your preferred dates and roughly how many students are joining us in Shanghai.
Customised planning: One of our artists will get in touch to discuss your theme—whether it's university pride, a specific student society goal, or just pure creative chaos.
The intro: On the day, we start with a brief history of street art and a safety demo. You'll learn how the nozzles (caps) work.
Sketching your vibes: Before touching the wall, you'll sketch out your ideas on paper, refining the 'flow' of your graffiti tag.
Nozzle control: You’ll practice making thin lines, fat drips, and smooth gradients on your own section of the wall or canvas.
The collaboration: This is where the magic happens! The whole group works together to fill in a massive mural, blending individual styles into one masterpiece.
The finishing touches: Our pro artists help you with 'cutting' (outlining) to make your university artwork look sharp and professional.
Photo op: Once the paint is dry, we take group photos of the squad and the final mural—perfect for the uni’s social media pages!

Good to know

Duration: Standard sessions are 2 hours, but we can adjust from 1.5 to 3 hours to fit your university schedule.
Group Sizes: Ideal for groups of 10 to 150+ students. We scale the number of artists to ensure everyone gets hands-on time.
Included: All professional spray cans, caps, protective gear (ponchos, masks, gloves), and mobile graffiti walls or canvases.
Safety: We use EU-certified low-odour paints and provide full high-spec respiratory protection. Trained facilitators supervise at all times.
Weather: If outdoors, we have backup dates or can move to indoor-ventilated spaces in case of rain. ✨

Local culture

Shanghai is a city of incredible contrasts, and its street art scene is no different. From the iconic (but ever-changing) walls of the M50 Creative Park to the hidden gems tucked away in the Jing'an District, the city is a canvas for those who know where to look. While Shanghai’s urban landscape is often defined by sleek skyscrapers like the Pearl Tower, there is a pulse of raw, creative energy in its backstreets that we love to tap into.

Fun Fact: Did you know that some of the earliest contemporary graffiti in Shanghai started appearing in the late 90s, often influenced by the city's burgeoning hip-hop and skate culture? By hosting a workshop here, you're becoming part of a modern tradition that celebrates Shanghai’s status as a global creative hub! 🎨

Pricing

We believe every university event is unique, which is why we don't offer a "one size fits all" price. Our rates are flexible and depend entirely on your group size, location in Shanghai, and the specific setup you need. Best of all? No upfront payment is required—you only pay after the workshop is complete!
