Do we need any prior art experience for a graffiti team building event?
Absolutely not! Our Ottawa workshops are designed for everyone, from those who haven't picked up a marker since grade school to seasoned hobbyists. Our professional artists guide you through every step, from basic nozzle control to complex shading techniques. Most participants are surprised by how quickly they can create something they are proud of. It is all about the experience and team bonding!
Is the spray paint safe and do you provide protective gear?
We prioritize your safety above all else. We provide high-quality masks, protective suits, and gloves to keep your clothes clean and your lungs protected. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor locations or specially equipped indoor spaces. Our Ottawa-based instructors are experts in spray paint safety protocols, ensuring everyone has a blast without any risks to their health or the environment.
How long does a typical company outing last?
Standard corporate graffiti workshops in Ottawa typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This includes an introduction to the history of street art, a safety briefing, skill practice on individual boards, and the final creation of your collaborative masterpiece. This timeframe is perfect for a morning energizer or a high-energy afternoon session before heading out for a team dinner in ByWard Market.
What is the minimum and maximum group size?
We are extremely flexible! Whether you have a small executive team of 10 or a massive corporate department of 200, we can accommodate you. For larger groups, we bring in additional professional artists and set up multiple 'battle stations' to ensure everyone gets plenty of hands-on time with the spray cans and personalized instruction from our pros.
Can we keep the artwork we create during the workshop?
Yes! One of the best parts of the 'Collaborative Mural' package is that you get to keep the final product. It is a fantastic piece of office decor that serves as a constant reminder of what your team can achieve together. We can help you arrange transport for the canvases back to your Ottawa office once they are dry and ready for display.
What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor workshop?
In the true Canadian spirit, we are prepared for anything! If we are scheduled for an outdoor session and the Ottawa weather doesn't cooperate, we have a network of backup indoor locations we can pivot to. Alternatively, many clients choose an indoor venue from the start. We always ensure a 'plan B' is in place so your team building event isn't ruined by a bit of rain.
Do we have to pay upfront to book our Ottawa event?
Unlike many other event providers, we don't require any payment at the moment of booking. You can reserve your date and finalize the details with our team first. This gives you the flexibility to confirm your internal budget and final headcount without any financial pressure. You simply pay after the workshop is successfully completed and your team is buzzing!
