Frequently asked questions

How does a graffiti workshop actually prevent vandalism?

The primary goal of our anti-vandalism program is to channel the energy of street art into positive, legal, and community-driven projects. By educating participants—particularly youth—on the difference between destructive tagging and creative muralism, we reduce illegal graffiti. We provide a legal outlet where people can take pride in their work without damaging property, ultimately fostering a long-term respect for the urban environment of Saint Petersburg.

Do I need any previous art experience to participate?

Absolutely! While we focus on the social impact of legitimate street art, our workshops are designed for everyone, from complete beginners to experienced artists. Our professional facilitators guide you through drawing basics, can control techniques, and colour blending. You don't need any prior artistic talent—just an open mind and a willingness to try something new. You'll be amazed at the masterpiece you can create by the end of the session!

Is it safe to use spray cans, and do you provide gear?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep you and your clothes safe from paint. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially equipped indoor studios. Our professional artists are also trained in safety protocols to ensure that everyone handles the spray cans correctly. We make sure the environment is fun, controlled, and completely secure for all ages.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Our standard anti-vandalism workshops usually run for 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief introduction to street art history and ethics, a practice session on technique, and the final creation of a collaborative or individual mural. If you have a specific event or a larger local project in mind here in Saint Petersburg, we can certainly adjust the duration to fit your schedule.

What is the maximum group size for a workshop?

We are very flexible! We can host workshops for small groups of 5-10 people, or large-scale community events for 100+ participants. For larger groups, we bring in extra professional artists to ensure everyone gets personal guidance and support. Whether it's a small school group or a massive city-wide initiative, we have the resources and the 'backup' artists to make sure everything runs smoothly without any cancellations.

Can you hold the workshop at our specific location?

Yes, we can! While we have our own preferred legal spots and mobile walls, we can bring the workshop to your school, community centre, or business premises across Saint Petersburg. We use protective floor coverings and temporary wooden walls or canvases to ensure your property remains clean. This is a great way to transform a dull space into a vibrant piece of community art while teaching the importance of respecting public property.

How do we book, and what are the payment terms?

Booking is easy and risk-free. You can request a quote via our website or use our Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate. Once we agree on the details, your date is locked in. One of our best features is that no upfront payment is required—you only pay after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We believe in the quality of our work and the fun we provide!
