Pricing
Our school workshops are designed to be accessible and high-impact. Pricing typically ranges from €30 to €65 per student, depending on the number of participants, the duration of the session, and the materials required (such as individual canvases for students to take home versus one large collective mural).
We know school budgets can be tight, so we offer tiered pricing for larger groups. No hidden fees, no stress—just pure creativity.
Frequently asked questions
Is the workshop safe for school students?
Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every student. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor locations or specially designated areas. Our professional artists are trained to supervise large groups, ensuring that the spray cans are used responsibly and that the environment remains safe and inclusive for students of all abilities and backgrounds.
Can we choose a specific theme for the mural?
Absolutely! While we love letting students lean into their own creativity, we can easily weave in specific educational themes. Whether you want to focus on French history, environmental awareness, or school values like 'respect' and 'teamwork', our artists can help students design a mural that reflects these concepts. It is a fantastic way to make abstract lessons feel tangible and exciting.
Do we come to you, or do you come to our school?
We are totally flexible! We can host the workshop at a legal street art spot in Nice to give students an authentic experience, or we can bring the entire setup to your school grounds using mobile boards or large canvases. If we come to you, we take care of all the floor protection and cleanup, leaving nothing behind but your beautiful new artwork.
How long does a typical school session last?
Our school workshops usually last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a history lesson on street art, technique practice, and the final creation of a large-scale mural. We can adjust the timing to fit into your specific school timetable or double-up sessions to accommodate multiple classes in one day.
What materials are included in the price?
We provide everything! Your booking includes premium low-pressure spray paint (easier for beginners to control), various nozzle sizes (caps), protective gear, and the surfaces to paint on. We also bring sketching materials so students can plan their designs before they hit the 'wall'. You don't need to worry about a thing; just make sure the students wear old clothes!
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Rain doesn't have to stop the fun! If we are planning an outdoor session and the weather looks bad, we can often move the workshop to a covered outdoor area at your school or use large canvases in a well-ventilated indoor hall. We have backup artists available and a flexible scheduling policy to ensure your students don't miss out on their creative experience.
