Do we need any prior art experience to participate?

Not at all! Our youth projects are designed for everyone, from absolute beginners to naturally gifted artists. Our professional facilitators guide your group through the basics of handling a spray can, technical lines, and shading. The goal in Cape Town is to let your imagination run wild and have fun with the process, rather than worrying about being a 'pro' from the start. Everyone leaves with something they are proud of!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for younger age groups?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep clothes clean. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier for younger hands to control and ensure our outdoor locations in Cape Town are well-ventilated and secure. Our facilitators are trained to manage groups safely while keeping the energy high and the creative juices flowing for all participants.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard youth project workshop typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of a large-scale masterpiece or individual canvases. We can also adapt the timing to fit into a specific school schedule or community event program if you have a tighter window to work with.

Where exactly in Cape Town do these workshops take place?

We are incredibly flexible! We can host the workshop at one of our vibrant street art locations around Cape Town, or we can bring the entire setup to your youth centre, school, or community hall. If we come to you, we set up mobile 'graffiti walls' or use large canvases and protective flooring to ensure we leave the venue exactly as we found it—except maybe with some new art to display!

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything! Your booking includes premium spray paint in a rainbow of colours, protective masks, gloves, aprons/overalls, and the surfaces to paint on (whether that's a communal wall or individual boards). We also bring sketches and inspiration sheets to help those who might be feeling a bit of 'writer's block.' You just need to bring your energy and clothes you don't mind getting a little dusty!

What is your payment and cancellation policy?

We believe in our service and want you to be totally relaxed about your booking. That’s why we don’t require an upfront payment. You can settle the bill after the workshop once you've seen the smiles on everyone's faces. Additionally, we always have backup artists on standby to ensure that your event goes ahead even in the face of unforeseen circumstances. Reliability is part of our vibe!

Can we choose a specific theme for our youth project?

Absolutely! We love it when youth groups have a specific theme, such as 'Climate Change,' 'Community Unity,' or 'Future Dreams.' We can pre-sketch a concept based on your ideas so that the youth can collaborate on a massive, meaningful mural. It’s a fantastic way to combine art with social education and give the participants a sense of ownership over a shared message in their city.

Safety first: Every participant gets kitted out in protective gear and learns the golden rules of using spray cans responsibly and safely.
Cap basics: We teach the group about different 'caps' (nozzles) and how they change the spray pattern from thin lines to fat flares.
Paper to wall: Participants sketch their initial ideas on paper, refining their 'tag' or 'piece' before moving to the big stage.
Technique practice: Under the guidance of our pros, everyone practices their can control, learning how to fade, fill, and outline their shapes.
The main event: The group works together on a large-scale project or individual panels to create a vibrant, colourful masterpiece.
Final touches: Our artists help the youth add highlights, shadows, and sharp outlines to make their artwork truly pop and look professional.
The reveal: We finish with a group photo session and a 'gallery walk' to admire the collective work and celebrate the group's creative achievements.

Local culture

Cape Town is more than just Table Mountain and stunning beaches; it is a global destination for street art. From the iconic murals of Woodstock to the politically charged pieces in Salt River, the city breathes creativity. Our youth projects tap into this local heritage, allowing young Capetonians to connect with their urban environment in a positive, constructive way. We don't just teach art; we share the stories and the 'gees' that make our city's street art scene so special. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Salt River hosts an International Public Art Festival every year? Some of the world's most famous street artists come right here to Cape Town to cover the walls in incredible masterpieces!
