Do I need to be an artist or have previous experience to join?

Absolutely no experience is required! Our Edmonton graffiti workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to closet creatives. Our professional artists start with the basics—how to hold a can, pressure control, and nozzle types—before moving into letters and fills. We guide you through every step of the process so you walk away feeling like a street art pro. It’s all about having fun and trying something new!

Is the workshop safe? What protective gear do you provide?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean and your lungs happy. We use professional-grade spray paint in a well-ventilated outdoor or indoor setting. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. You just need to bring your enthusiasm; we will handle all the protection and gear!

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A standard public art workshop in Edmonton typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you are looking for a more intensive session or have a large group, we can customize the duration to fit your specific schedule.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

While we provide protective overalls, we always recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on—just in case! Since most workshops take place outdoors to capture that authentic street feel, check the Edmonton weather forecast and dress in layers. Avoid wearing your absolute favorite designer sneakers or expensive jewelry to the session.

How much does it cost and are there group discounts?

Pricing in Edmonton ranges from C$40 to C$90 per person. The final cost depends on factors like the size of your group, the location of the workshop, and if you want any premium additions like custom canvases or specific paint colors. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and the best part is you don't have to pay anything upfront—you pay after the fun!

What happens if the artist is sick? Do you cancel?

We hate cancellations as much as you do! To ensure your event goes off without a hitch, we have a network of backup artists available in Alberta. If your primary instructor has an emergency, a qualified backup will step in to lead the session. This redundancy is part of our commitment to 100% satisfaction and reliability for every single Edmonton booking.

Can you host the workshop at my own location in Edmonton?

We can host workshops at various legal street art locations across Edmonton, or we can bring the experience to you! We have mobile setups including professional-grade plastic sheeting and temporary boards that allow us to turn almost any open space, parking lot, or warehouse into a pop-up graffiti studio. Contact us to discuss the best location for your specific group size.

Local culture

Edmonton has a vibrant and growing relationship with public art, moving from the historic murals of Old Strathcona to the massive, modern installations found in the Ice District. The city's "Paint the Rails" project and various street art festivals have proven that YEG is a hub for urban creativity. Our workshops tap into this local energy, giving you a chance to contribute to the city's colorful identity in a safe, legal, and professional environment.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Edmonton is home to "Giant Mushrooms" and a "Silver Ball" (the Talus Dome)? Our city loves its quirky public art, making it the perfect backdrop for your first graffiti masterpiece! 🎨
