Do the youth need any previous art experience?

Absolutely! Our Toronto youth workshops are designed for all skill levels. Most kids and teens who join us have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists break down the basics—from how to hold the can to mastering different nozzles—ensuring everyone feels confident. It’s all about the process and having a blast, not about being a perfect artist on day one. We’re here to guide every step!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for teenagers?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves, and use low-pressure spray paint that is easier for youth to control. Our artists are experienced mentors who supervise the entire session closely. We also ensure the workshop takes place in a well-ventilated area. Parents and organizers can rest easy knowing the kids are in professional, caring hands while they get creative.

How long does a typical youth workshop last?

Our standard youth projects in Toronto typically run between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a thorough safety briefing, a history lesson on street art, practice sessions, and the final creation of their masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or a larger community event, we can easily tailor the duration to fit your needs. Just let us know what works best!

What materials are included in the session?

We provide everything! Your booking includes all the professional spray paint, a variety of caps (nozzles), protective gear like masks and gloves, and the surfaces we’ll be painting on (such as canvases or large boards). We suggest that participants wear old clothes and sneakers they don't mind getting a little paint on, because while we provide gear, creativity can sometimes get a bit messy!

Where in Toronto do these workshops take place?

We are very flexible! We can host workshops at various outdoor locations across Toronto, at your community centre, or even at a school yard (with permission). If you don't have a venue, let us know—we have a network of spots where we can set up. Whether it's the West End or the Beaches, we bring the graffiti studio to a location that works for you.

What is the recommended age for youth projects?

Our youth projects are generally aimed at ages 10 and up, as handling the spray cans requires a certain level of finger strength and focus. However, we can adapt sessions for slightly younger groups using water-based markers or different techniques. It’s a fantastic way for teens to express themselves and learn about the positive, community-building side of the street art world.

How do we book a session for our community group?

Booking is easy! Since we don't require upfront payments, you can secure your date risk-free. Simply head to our website, use our price calculator for an estimate, or send us an inquiry with your group size and preferred date. We have backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about a cancellation. We’ll follow up quickly to finalize the details for your Toronto event!

Local culture

Toronto is a world-renowned hub for street art, from the iconic Graffiti Alley near Queen Street West to the vibrant murals lining the Underpass Park in Corktown. Our workshops tap into this rich local culture, showing youth that street art isn't just about "tagging"—it's a powerful tool for community storytelling and urban beautification. We celebrate the diversity of Toronto's neighbourhoods through every spray can we pop. 🇨🇦

Fun Fact: Did you know Toronto's "Graffiti Alley" is nearly a kilometre long? It’s one of the most photographed spots in the city and serves as a major inspiration for all our local youth projects! 📸
