Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to participate?

No experience is necessary! Our anti-vandalism program in Tokyo is designed for everyone, from complete beginners to those with some artistic flair. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic spray can control and safety. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created, even if you’ve never touched a can of paint before. It's all about having fun and learning!

Is the workshop safe for everyone?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. Our instructors are experienced professionals who ensure a controlled environment. We use low-odor spray paints whenever possible to make the experience comfortable. In a city as organized as Tokyo, we maintain the highest standards of safety and cleanliness throughout the workshop.

How far in advance should I book?

We are very flexible! While we recommend booking at least 2-4 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and local Tokyo artist, we can often accommodate last-minute requests thanks to our network of backup artists. Since we don't require upfront payment, the booking process is stress-free. Just reach out to us, and we will do our best to make it happen for your group.

How long does the anti-vandalism session last?

Our workshops typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This duration is perfect for learning the history of street art, practicing basic techniques on practice boards, and finally creating a collaborative or individual piece on a legal canvas or wall. We ensure the pace is energetic and engaging, making the most of every minute you spend with our artists in the heart of Tokyo.

Do I need to pay upfront?

Not at all! You can pay for the workshop after it has been completed. This 'pay later' policy reflects our 100% satisfaction guarantee. We want you to focus on the creative experience and the message of respect for Tokyo’s urban landscape without worrying about financial transactions beforehand. If you're happy with the results (and we know you will be), then we handle the payment.

What is the goal of the anti-vandalism program?

The primary goal is education and fun! By providing a legal, creative outlet, we teach participants the difference between destructive vandalism and constructive street art. We discuss the importance of respecting public property in Tokyo while giving you the skills to express yourself legally. It’s about channeling that creative energy into something that adds value to the community rather than taking away from it.

What should I bring to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little paint on, just in case. While we provide full protective overalls, sometimes a little 'creative splash' happens! If you have specific ideas or logos you'd like to incorporate into your graffiti wall, feel free to bring sketches or digital images. Otherwise, just bring your energy and a desire to learn something new!
