Frequently asked questions
What age groups can participate in the Los Angeles after school program?
Most of our after school graffiti programs in Los Angeles are designed for children and teens aged 8 to 18. We customize the complexity of the art techniques and the themes of the workshop to suit the specific age group we are working with, ensuring everyone from elementary students to high schoolers stays engaged and inspired throughout the session.
Is the spray paint safe for children to use?
Safety is our absolute number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective ponchos to all students. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas, and we use professional-grade spray paint. Our instructors are experienced at managing groups and ensure that every student follows strict safety protocols while handling the equipment.
Do students need any prior art experience to join?
Absolutely! No prior drawing or painting experience is necessary. Our professional artists are experts at breaking down complex street art techniques into simple, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and shapes, so even students who think they aren't 'artistic' end up creating incredible pieces they are proud of by the end of the term.
What materials are included in the workshop package?
We literally bring the street art studio to you! Graffitifun provides everything required for the workshop, including premium spray cans in a rainbow of colors, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), caps (nozzles), and the surfaces to paint on—whether that is large wooden panels, plastic film, or individual canvases for the students to keep.
Where in Los Angeles do these workshops take place?
We are very flexible! While we often host workshops at schools, community centers, or youth clubs across Los Angeles, we can also arrange sessions at inspiring local legal wall spots. If you have a space with good ventilation and a bit of room to move, we can usually make it work. We handle all the setup and cleanup.
Do you offer discounts for siblings or large groups?
Yes, we do! If you have multiple children from the same family or want to book a large group for a community center, reach out to us. Our pricing is tiered based on group size, so the more students who join the creative fun, the lower the price per person becomes. Use our online cost calculator for an immediate estimate!
How long does a typical graffiti session last?
Our standard after school sessions typically last between 1.5 and 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the completion of a final masterpiece. For longer-term programs, we can spread these sessions over several weeks to dive deeper into graffiti history and advanced letter styles.
