Where groups meet in Philadelphia
Graffitifun workshops in Philadelphia are typically hosted in areas known for their artistic energy or accessibility. We often find suitable spaces within districts like Fishtown or Kensington, which have a reputation for creative communities and a blend of industrial heritage with contemporary art spaces. These neighbourhoods provide an authentic urban setting that complements the nature of street art.
For groups travelling from further afield, central locations near significant transport hubs can also be arranged. While we do not operate from fixed venues, we work with local partners to secure appropriate and inspiring spaces. This flexibility allows us to serve groups effectively, whether they are based in University City, Old City, or even travelling from nearby suburbs like Camden or Cherry Hill, just across the Delaware River.

Arriving for your Philadelphia Workshop
Philadelphia is well connected for groups arriving by various means. For those travelling by train, Amtrak services arrive at William H. Gray III 30th Street Station, a major hub with connections to regional rail and SEPTA local services, making it convenient to reach many parts of the city. SEPTA's extensive bus, subway, and trolley networks provide comprehensive public transport within Philadelphia and its immediate surroundings.
Driving into Philadelphia is straightforward, with major routes such as I-95 running north-south and I-76 (the Schuylkill Expressway) providing east-west access. Parking can be found in various garages and lots, particularly in the central business district and around popular attractions. For groups arriving by coach, drop-off points are often available near workshop locations, and we can advise on the best arrangements for larger vehicles. Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) serves as the primary air gateway for visitors from further afield.
Local culture
Philadelphia's Street Art Scene
Philadelphia has a significant and well-established tradition of public art, most notably through its Mural Arts Philadelphia programme. This initiative has transformed countless walls across the city into vibrant artworks, making Philadelphia a global leader in mural creation. While these are distinct from graffiti, the presence of such a strong public art culture fosters an appreciation for large-scale urban canvases and artistic expression on city streets.
The city's creative districts, including parts of Northern Liberties and Fishtown, are home to numerous artist studios, independent galleries, and street art pieces that contribute to a dynamic visual landscape. This environment provides a natural context for our workshops, allowing participants to connect with the city's artistic spirit. Philadelphia's history of independent thought and creative innovation makes it a fitting location to explore the expressive world of street art.
