Frequently asked questions

Is the Montreal graffiti workshop wheelchair accessible?

Yes! Our workshops are designed to be inclusive for everyone. We use locations that are wheelchair accessible and ensure that spray cans can be operated easily. If there are specific physical limitations, our artists are trained to provide one-on-one assistance to ensure every participant can successfully create their own masterpiece. We believe everyone deserves the chance to express themselves through street art.

Can you accommodate participants with sensory sensitivities?

Absolutely. We understand that some environments can be overwhelming. We can host sessions in quieter, private spaces and adjust the music or group size to accommodate sensory needs. Our artists are patient and friendly, focusing on a relaxed pace where there is no pressure to perform. It is all about the joy of the creative process in a safe, supportive environment.

Do participants need prior art experience?

No artistic experience is needed! Our professional graffiti artists are experts at breaking down techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We guide participants through every stage, from holding the can to filling in colours. Most of our guests have never touched a spray can before and are always amazed at what they can create by the end of the session.

What safety measures do you have in place?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks. We typically use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor or indoor spaces. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing at the start of every session to ensure everyone handles the materials correctly and stays safe while having a blast.

How long does a typical workshop last?

The standard workshop for our Special Needs program in Montreal usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining engagement and energy without being too tiring. However, we are flexible! If your group needs a shorter session or a longer, more relaxed pace, we can customize the timeline to suit your specific requirements.

What happens if an artist is unavailable at the last minute?

We pride ourselves on being reliable. We have a dedicated team of backup artists in Montreal ready to step in if an emergency arises. This means your event is guaranteed to go ahead as planned. You can book with peace of mind knowing that we have the staff and resources to ensure your creative experience happens no matter what.

How does the payment process work?

We make it easy for you! There is no upfront payment required when you book your workshop. You only pay after the event has taken place and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods and will provide a clear invoice. Our goal is to make the process as stress-free as possible from start to finish.
