Do the youth need any previous art experience to participate?

Most definitely! Our youth projects in Winnipeg are designed for all levels. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before. Our pro artists guide the youth through every step, from basic nozzle control to advanced layering techniques. We focus on building confidence and showing everyone that they have an inner artist waiting to break out. By the end of the session, they'll have a finished piece they can be proud of!

What safety measures do you take during the workshop?

Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to all participants. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and produce less fumes. Additionally, our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specialized indoor spaces. Our artists are also trained in site safety and group management to ensure a fun, hazard-free environment for everyone involved.

What materials are included in the workshop?

For our youth projects in Winnipeg, we provide everything needed for a successful street art session! This includes a wide array of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the surface to paint on (like a large canvas or a temporary wall). You just need to bring your energy and wear clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on, just in case!

Can you host the workshop at our community centre or park?

We are very flexible! While we have a great central location in Winnipeg, we can also bring the workshop to you. Whether it's a community centre backyard, a school parking lot, or a local park (with permits), we can set up a mobile graffiti studio almost anywhere. If you don't have a spot, just let us know and we’ll arrange a cool urban space for your group to get creative.

How long does a typical youth graffiti project last?

Our standard youth workshops usually run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of graffiti, a demo on techniques, sketching, and plenty of hands-on painting time. If you’re looking for a more intensive multi-day project or a full-day community mural event, we can certainly customize the duration to fit your specific needs and goals.

What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor workshop?

The weather in Winnipeg can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. If the forecast looks rainy or exceptionally windy, we can either move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor facility. If neither is possible, we can reschedule the session to a better day at no extra cost. We always keep a close eye on the weather and communicate with you 24-48 hours in advance.

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun session for your next youth initiative? It’s not just a workshop; it’s an unforgettable experience that bridges the gap between urban culture and structured learning. 🎨

Boosts self-esteem: Seeing a giant, colourful mural completed by their own hands gives youth an incredible sense of accomplishment.
Zero cancellation stress: We have backup artists ready to go, ensuring your project always happens as planned. 🛡️
Pro-level skills: Learn from real street artists who live and breathe the culture, giving participants an authentic experience.
Team building: Large-scale graffiti requires communication and collaboration—perfect for strengthening community bonds.
Safe & clean: We handle all the prep and cleanup, and provide top-tier protective gear for every participant.
No financial risk: With our "pay after the workshop" policy, you can book with total peace of mind. 🎤

Step by step

Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick meet-and-greet and a vital safety run-through so everyone knows how to use the gear properly. 🎉
Graffiti history 101: A brief, engaging look at how street art evolved from subculture to a global art form, right here in Canada and beyond.
Mastering the 'can control': Kids learn the basics: how to hold the can, different nozzle types, and how to create clean lines and dots.
Sketching the vision: Every great mural starts with a plan! Participants draw out their ideas on paper before hitting the wall. 🎨
Applying the base: We start the painting process by filling in the large shapes and getting the primary colours onto the surface.
Adding style and shadows: Here’s where it gets 3D! Our artists teach the youth how to add highlights, shadows, and cool effects.
The outline (The 'power line'): The final step where we add sharp outlines to make the artwork pop and look professional. 🔥
Group photo and cleanup: We celebrate the hard work with a group photo in front of the masterpiece and pack up our gear.

Local culture

Winnipeg has a surprisingly deep and gritty street art history. From the historic murals of the Exchange District to the ever-evolving legal walls in the West End, "Peg City" knows how to use public space for expression. We love tapping into this local energy, encouraging Winnipeg youth to draw inspiration from the city's unique mix of industrial roots and modern creativity. Whether we're painting near the Forks or in a community centre in North End, the spirit of the city always shines through in the art.

Fun Fact: Did you know Winnipeg is home to the "Back Alley Arctic," a series of stunning polar themed murals that turned a standard laneway into a world-class outdoor gallery? It’s a perfect example of how street art can transform our city! ❄️

Pricing

Our youth project pricing is designed to be accessible for non-profits, schools, and community groups across Manitoba. Generally, prices range from C$40 to C$90 per participant.

Because every project is unique—varying in group size, location, and the scale of the artwork—we provide tailored estimates to ensure you get the most value for your budget. Plus, there is no upfront payment required; you pay only after the workshop! ✨
