Is the graffiti workshop safe for teenagers?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority for youth projects in LA. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves, and we use low-odor, professional-grade spray paint. Our expert instructors start every session with a comprehensive safety briefing, ensuring that every teenager knows how to handle the equipment properly while having a blast creating their masterpiece in a controlled environment.

Where do the workshops take place in Los Angeles?

Our youth projects are incredibly flexible! We can host the workshop at various street-art friendly locations across Los Angeles, or we can bring the entire 'mobile studio' to your school, community center, or backyard. If you don't have a location, don't worry—we have access to several cool legal walls around the city where the kids can experience the authentic vibe of LA street culture.

Do the kids need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to aspiring young artists. Our pro instructors breakdown the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We focus on building confidence and teaching the fundamentals of 'lettering' and 'can control,' so every participant walks away feeling proud of what they’ve created, regardless of their prior art experience.

How long does a typical youth workshop last?

A standard youth street art session usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives the group plenty of time to learn the history of graffiti, practice their spraying techniques on practice boards, and finally collaborate on a large-scale mural or individual canvases. We find this timeframe keeps the energy high and the engagement levels peaking from start to finish!

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything needed for a world-class street art experience! This includes a wide spectrum of premium spray paint colors, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective clothing, masks, gloves, and the painting surfaces (like large wooden panels or canvases). All you need to bring is your creativity and some clothes you don't mind getting a little dusty—we take care of all the logistics.

How does the payment process work?

We believe in the power of our workshops, which is why we offer a 'pay after the event' policy. You don't need to worry about upfront costs. Once the youth project is completed and you see the amazing results and the smiles on the kids' faces, we handle the payment. It’s our way of ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the Graffitifun experience!

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We can accommodate almost any group size! Whether it's a small community mentorship group of 10 or a large-scale school assembly project with 100+ students, we scale our team of artists accordingly. We maintain a professional ratio of instructors to students to ensure everyone gets personal attention and learns the proper techniques while staying safe and inspired.

Local culture

Los Angeles is widely considered the graffiti capital of the world, boasting a legacy that stretches from the early 'cholo' scripts to the massive, intricate murals of the Melrose Avenue and the Arts District. Street art is woven into the very fabric of LA life, acting as a colorful heartbeat for the city's diverse neighborhoods. Our youth projects tap into this local heritage, giving kids a chance to contribute to the city's visual language in a positive, constructive way.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the famous 'Great Wall of Los Angeles' in the San Fernando Valley is one of the longest murals in the world? It spans over half a mile and was a massive collaborative youth project!

By participating in a workshop, LA youth connect with the same energy that fuels world-renowned artists like Shepard Fairey and Retna, who helped put this city's walls on the global map.
