Step by step
- Intro & History: We kick things off with a brief, high-energy look at the evolution of graffiti from the streets of NYC to the murals of Winnipeg.
- Gear Up: Safety first! We suit you up in protective gear and explain how to use the respiratory masks and gloves professionally.
- Cap Basics: Learn the difference between "skinny" and "fat" caps. You'll practice making dots, thin lines, and thick flares on a practice wall.
- Sketching Your Concept: Our artists help you translate your ideas onto the wall. Whether it's a "piece," a "tag," or a character, we'll help you map it out.
- Filling & Fading: This is where the colour happens! Learn how to fill in large areas and create smooth gradients and "fades" between different shades.
- The Outline: The "power line" brings your work to life. We show you how to steady your hand for that perfect final outline.
- Highlights & Details: Add those final "shines" and "cut-ins" that make your graffiti pop and look 3D.
- The Big Reveal: Step back and admire the collective mural or your individual masterpiece. It’s the perfect time for a group photo!
- Cleanup & Wrap-up: We handle the mess. You leave with new skills, great memories, and a new-found appreciation for street art culture.

Arriving for your Winnipeg workshop
Winnipeg is well-connected for both local and visiting groups. If arriving by train, VIA Rail operates services to Winnipeg's Union Station, located conveniently in the downtown area. From there, public transport options, including Winnipeg Transit buses, are readily available to reach various parts of the city. For those travelling by car, Winnipeg is accessible via major routes such as the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) which passes just south of the city, and provincial highways like 59 and 75, leading directly into the city centre and surrounding areas.
Parking availability varies by neighbourhood, with downtown areas often having metered street parking and various parkades. For larger groups arriving by coach, arrangements for drop-off and pick-up near your workshop venue can typically be made, though specific parking for coaches may require advance planning, especially in central locations. The nearest major airport is Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (YWG), located a short drive northwest of the city centre, offering connections for groups travelling from further afield.
Local culture
Winnipeg's street art context
Winnipeg has a growing appreciation for public art and murals, contributing to the city's visual landscape.

The West End, for instance, is well-known for its extensive collection of community murals, depicting local history and culture, making it a vibrant outdoor gallery.
This environment provides a rich context for our workshops, allowing participants to understand how street art contributes to urban identity. Our workshops aim to provide a positive and legal outlet for artistic expression, drawing inspiration from the city's existing public art scene and fostering a sense of community engagement through creativity. It is about understanding the impact of art in public spaces and contributing to that dialogue in a structured, positive way.
