Do I need any prior art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely no experience is required! Our Vancouver graffiti workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to closet creatives. Our professional artists lead you through every step, starting with simple spray techniques and moving up to complex shapes and shading. We focus on fun and expression rather than technical perfection, ensuring everyone leaves with a piece of art they are proud of. We make the learning process super accessible and totally exciting!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We’ve got you covered from head to toe. Graffitifun provides all the high-quality spray cans in a rainbow of colors, professional-grade masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or designated wall space for your session. All you need to bring is your curiosity, some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a little dusty, and your creative energy. We handle the messy logistics!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and provide high-quality respiratory masks for all participants. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially equipped indoor spaces. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a respectful, secure, and enjoyable environment for kids and adults alike. You’re in safe, professional hands with our team.

How many people can participate in a session?

The ideal group size in Vancouver ranges from small private parties of 5 to large corporate groups of over 100. For public art programs and community installments, we can accommodate various scales. If you have a specific number in mind, just let us know! We adjust the number of artist-instructors to ensure everyone gets personal guidance and plenty of time with the spray cans. Large or small, we make it happen.

How long does a typical Vancouver workshop last?

A standard Vancouver graffiti workshop typically lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demo, practice sessions, and the final creation of your masterpiece. If you are looking for a more intensive program or a quick team-building 'ice breaker,' we can definitely customize the duration to fit your schedule. We’re flexible to make your Vancity experience perfect.

What happens if I need to cancel or if the weather is bad?

We are so confident you'll have a blast that we offer a satisfaction focus! Also, we don't require any upfront payment—you can pay after the workshop is complete. To ensure your event always goes ahead, we have backup artists on standby in case of emergencies. This 'no-stress' approach is why Vancouverites trust us for their creative events. We’re here to make sure your day is nothing short of legendary.

Local culture

Vancouver has a rich, evolving relationship with street art, from the colorful murals of Mount Pleasant to the industrial canvases of Granville Island. The city’s public art scene is a reflection of its diverse cultures and stunning natural surroundings. Our workshops celebrate this local spirit, often incorporating West Coast aesthetics into our designs. We love taking inspiration from the local flora, fauna, and the iconic Vancity "rain or shine" attitude. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know Vancouver hosts one of the largest mural festivals in North America? Every Summer, the Vancouver Mural Festival transforms the city into a massive open-air gallery, proving that this city truly breathes street art! 🎨
