Do I need to be artistic or have experience to join?

No experience is needed at all! Our professional artists specialize in teaching absolute beginners. We start with the basics of how to hold a spray can and move into more 'advanced' techniques like blending and outlining. By the end of the session, you’ll be amazed at the masterpiece you’ve created. We’re all about building confidence and having a blast, so don't worry about your drawing skills!

What safety gear do you provide during the workshop?

Safety is a huge priority for us. We provide FFP3 respirators (high-quality masks), protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. Our instructors also give a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring everyone has a fun, risk-free creative experience on campus.

What happens if it rains on the day of our Toronto event?

Toronto weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. If we're outdoors and it rains, we can often relocate to a covered area or use an indoor space with proper ventilation. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never cancel. If things look really messy, we can look at rescheduling to make sure your event is perfect.

Are we actually allowed to paint on the university walls?

While we love the vibe of Kensington Market, we don't just paint on any random wall! We use professional mobile cellophane walls (stretch-wrap) or canvas boards. This allows us to set up anywhere on your Toronto campus without causing permanent damage. It also means you might even get to keep the artwork for your student union or dorm common room!

How long does a typical university workshop last?

Our standard university workshops usually run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives everyone enough time to learn the techniques, practice their tags, and collaborate on a final mural. If you have a specific schedule constraints (like a tight orientation week window), just let us know and we can tailor the timing to fit your event perfectly.

What is the maximum group size for a campus event?

We are extremely flexible! Whether you have a small group of 10 students for a specialized club or 200+ students for a massive Frost Week festival, we can handle it. For very large groups, we bring in multiple professional artists to ensure everyone gets hands-on time and guidance. Just tell us your expected headcount and we'll scale the supplies accordingly.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next Toronto university event? It’s not just about the paint; it’s about the vibe and the community. Here is why we're the top choice for campus fun:

Ultimate Stress Buster: Forget the midterms for a few hours and get into a 'flow state' with a spray can in hand. 🔥
Inclusive for Everyone: You don't need to be an OCAD student to kill it—our artists guide every skill level.
Instagrammable Moments: Your campus feed will blow up with the vibrant colors and cool action shots from the session. 📸

Safe & Professional: We bring years of experience, high-spec safety gear, and a 100% fun guarantee! ✨

Step by step

Intro and safety: We kick things off with a quick intro to graffiti culture and a safety briefing to get everyone geared up in their masks and suits.
Mastering the can: Learn the 'can control' basics—how to change nozzles, manage pressure, and create different line widths like a pro.
Tagging 101: Practice your own signature or 'tag' on a practice surface, finding your unique flow and style.
The big design: Our artists help the group sketch out a large-scale concept, often incorporating your university's colors or Toronto landmarks.
Filling and blending: This is where the magic happens! Learn how to fill large areas and create smooth color gradients and fades.
Outlining and highlights: Bring the piece to life by adding sharp outlines and 'shines' that make the artwork pop off the wall.
Final touches: Add those professional details like 'drips' or 'force fields' to give the mural a polished, street-ready look.
The big reveal: Step back, snap some photos for the 'gram, and admire the collective masterpiece your group created!

Local culture

Toronto is a literal playground for street art lovers. From the world-famous Graffiti Alley in the Fashion District to the massive murals in Cabbagetown, the city lives and breathes urban culture. When we host a workshop here, we draw inspiration from the diverse 'TDot' vibe—blending the gritty energy of Queen West with the academic prestige of institutions like UofT, OCAD, and TMU. It’s an environment that encourages pushing boundaries and expressing your identity.

Fun Fact: Toronto’s Graffiti Alley (Rush Lane) is so iconic that it has been used as a backdrop for countless music videos and even Rick Mercer’s famous 'Rants.' By joining our workshop, you're tapping into a creative legacy that defines the 416! 🇨🇦
