Frequently asked questions

Do we need any previous art experience to participate?

Most participants have never held a spray can before, and that is exactly why we are here! Our Calgary retreat workshops are designed for all skill levels. Our professional artists guide you through every step, from basic nozzle control to advanced layering techniques. You will be amazed at the high-quality piece you can produce by the end of the session, even with zero 'artistic' background. We focus on the process and the joy of creating together.

What happens if the Calgary weather doesn't cooperate?

Calgary's weather can be unpredictable, but we have you covered! For our retreat workshops, we offer both outdoor locations (perfect for those sunny Alberta days) and indoor studio spaces or ventilated mobile setups. If the forecast looks like a typical Calgary 'five seasons in one day' situation, we can easily move the creativity indoors to ensure your team or group stays dry, warm, and focused on their masterpieces.

Is the spray paint safe to use during the workshop?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective suits, and gloves to all participants. The spray paint we use is professional-grade but handled with strict safety protocols. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure the workspace is well-ventilated and that everyone feels comfortable and secure throughout the entire creative retreat experience.

How long does a typical retreat workshop last?

Our standard creative retreat workshops in Calgary typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows for a proper introduction, skills practice, and the completion of a final collaborative or individual project. If you are looking for a more intensive deep-dive retreat, we can extend the duration or split the session over multiple days to suit your specific itinerary and goals.

What materials are included in the retreat package?

Everything you need is included in the price! We provide the spray cans in a wide array of vibrant colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the 'canvas'—which could be a temporary wall, individual canvases, or even a large-scale collective mural. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little dusty, and we handle the rest of the logistics.

Can you host the workshop at our specific retreat location?

Absolutely! We love traveling across the Wild Rose Country. While we have central locations in Calgary, our team is fully mobile. We can bring the entire graffiti retreat experience to your specific venue, whether it’s a mountain resort in Banff, a community hall, or your own backyard. Just let us know the location when requesting a quote, and we will factor the logistics into your custom package.

How do we book and when do we need to pay?

Booking is easy and stress-free! Start by requesting a free, no-obligation quote through our website. Once we’ve chatted about your group size and goals, we’ll lock in your date. The best part? There is no upfront payment required. You only pay after the workshop is complete and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We also have backup artists ready to go, ensuring your retreat never gets cancelled.
