Do I need any previous artistic experience to join?

No prior art skills are needed! Our professional New York graffiti artists are experts at teaching beginners of all ages. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create smooth lines—before moving on to more complex techniques. By the time we're done, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created together as a group. It's all about having fun and being creative!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for everyone?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves. We use professional-grade spray paints and always conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designed indoor spaces. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing at the start of every session to ensure everyone handles the equipment correctly while making some awesome street art.

What should I wear to the graffiti experience?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on. While we provide protective gear, spray paint can be unpredictable, especially if there is a breeze. Think old sneakers and casual wear. Also, check the weather if your workshop is outdoors—New York can be chilly or hot! We provide everything else, from the cans to the caps and the canvases.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard public art programs usually last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of NYC street art, a technical demonstration, practice time, and the creation of the final large-scale piece. If you have specific time constraints for your event, just let us know! We can often tailor the schedule to fit your group's needs perfectly.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are super flexible! Our workshops can accommodate small groups of friends or large corporate teams of over 100 people. For very large groups, we bring in additional professional artists to ensure everyone gets personalized attention and hands-on guidance. Whether it's a small gathering or a major festival, we have the staff and materials to make it a high-energy, successful experience.

Can we take the artwork home with us?

Absolutely! One of the coolest parts is that you aren't just tagging a wall—you're creating art. Depending on the workshop package you choose, you can often take home individual canvases you've worked on. For large-scale collaborative murals, we can discuss options for semi-permanent installations or digital high-resolution photos of the work so you can remember your New York street art debut forever.

How does the payment process work?

At Graffitifun, we believe in a hassle-free booking experience. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date! We trust our clients and want to make the process as easy as possible. You can settle the payment after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. It's our way of guaranteeing that you'll have a blast with us.

Local culture

New York City is the undisputed Mecca of graffiti. From the "Style Wars" of the 70s subway era to the world-famous murals of the Bushwick Collective, the city’s walls tell a story of rebellion and evolution. When you join our workshop, you're tapping into a culture that defined a global movement. You’ll feel the gritty, creative energy that has inspired artists from Basquiat to Banksy. 🗽

Fun Fact: Did you know that the modern graffiti movement largely started in NYC in the late 1960s with a courier named Taki 183? His simple "tag" sparked a city-wide competition that eventually evolved into the complex masterpieces you see today!

We celebrate this history in every workshop, ensuring you leave not just with a piece of art, but with a piece of New York’s soul. Whether we're working in a studio or at a legal street art spot, the spirit of "The City That Never Sleeps" is always present in our spray cans. ✨

Pricing

Our NYC graffiti experiences are competitively priced to ensure everyone can join the culture. Prices typically range from $35 to $75 per person. Your final price depends on the number of participants, the location, and whether you're working on individual canvases or a giant collaborative wall.
