Do the participants need any prior art experience?

Absolutely! Our Johannesburg youth projects are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional street artists start with a safety briefing and basic 'can control' techniques. We guide every participant through the process of sketching, outlining, and filling in their designs. No prior art experience is needed—just a positive attitude and a willingness to try something new. By the end of the session, everyone will have created something they can be proud of.🎨

Is the spray paint safe for young people to use?

Safety is our absolute priority. we provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep everyone safe and their clothes clean. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and produce less fumes. Additionally, our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated street art zones in Joburg, ensuring a healthy environment for all the youth involved.🔥

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard youth project workshop in Joburg typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a thorough introduction, design brainstorming, practice sessions on plastic film, and then the final masterpiece creation. If you have a specific schedule or are planning a full-day community event, we can certainly adapt the duration to fit your program's needs!✨

What is the maximum group size for a youth project?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you have a small youth group of 10 or a massive community gathering of over 100, we have the artist capacity to handle it. For larger groups, we bring in extra professional artists to ensure every participant gets individual attention and guidance. We never cancel thanks to our backup artist pool, so your event is always in safe hands.💪

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything! The price includes professional spray paint in a huge variety of colours, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), caps (nozzles), and the 'canvas' (which could be a wall, boards, or even a communal mural space). You just need to bring your energy and perhaps some water. We recommend wearing old shoes just in case a little 'creative splatter' happens!🎉

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

While we love the sunshine of the City of Gold, we always have a plan B. If the weather looks dodgy, we can often move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space with high ceilings and industrial ventilation. If the weather is truly impossible, we’ll work with you to reschedule for the next available sunny Joburg day at no extra cost.🏆

Do you include any educational elements about street art culture?

Definitely! We don't just teach painting; we teach the history and culture of graffiti. We discuss the difference between 'tagging' and 'street art,' the importance of legal spaces, and how art can be used for positive community messaging. It's a great way to talk about respect for public property while still encouraging creative expression in the right way.🎤

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next youth initiative in the City of Gold? It’s more than just art; it’s an experience that sticks! Here’s why we’re the top choice for youth engagement:

Total inclusivity: You don't need to be an "artist" to enjoy this. We break down barriers so every kid feels like a pro. 🎨
Safe & Legal: we teach the difference between vandalism and art, providing a safe outlet for expression. 🛡️
Team Spirit: Collective murals require communication and collaboration—perfect for building group bonds. 🤝
Confidence Booster: Seeing a massive, vibrant mural that you helped create is an incredible ego-boost for any young person. 🚀
Pro Guidance: Our artists aren't just talented; they're vetted professionals who know how to engage and inspire youth. 🎤
Stress-Free: With no upfront payment and all gear provided, we make organizing your event a breeze. 🌬️

Step by step

The kick-off: We start with an energetic intro about the history of Jozi street art and a vital safety briefing.
Design brainstorming: Youth groups work together to brainstorm themes, local symbols, or personal 'tags'.
Mastering the tool: Participants learn how different 'caps' create different lines on a practice surface.
The sketch: Artists guide the youth in sketching their vision onto the wall or canvas using light colours.
Filling in: This is the fun part! Everyone gets to pick their colours and fill in their designs with bold vibes.
Outlining & flares: We teach the tricks of the trade—adding sharp outlines and 'flares' to make the art pop.
Detailing: Final touches are added to ensure the collective mural looks like a professional masterpiece.
The big reveal: We take group photos and celebrate the creative achievements of the Johannesburg crew!

Local culture

Johannesburg is the undisputed street art capital of South Africa. From the world-famous murals of Maboneng to the vibrant alleys of Newtown, the city's walls tell the story of a resilient and creative nation. Our youth projects tap into this rich heritage, giving young Joburgers a chance to add their own voices to the city's visual narrative. We celebrate the unique "Jozi vibe"—that mix of hustle, heart, and high-energy creativity that you won't find anywhere else. 🇿🇦

Fun Fact: Did you know that Joburg hosts some of the largest street art festivals in Africa? The city's gold-mining roots are often reflected in the 'gold' accents many local artists use in their pieces! 🏆

By bringing our workshops to your local youth group, we connect them to this thriving international art movement right in their own backyard. Whether we're exploring the history of resistance art or the modern aesthetic of the CBD, your group will feel like true Jozi street artists for a day. 🔥
