Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical school graffiti workshop last?
Most of our school workshops in Quebec City last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This provides enough time for a solid introduction to history and safety, followed by hands-on practice and the creation of a final masterpiece. We can easily adjust the timing to fit within your school's specific period blocks or afternoon activity schedules. Just let us know your requirements!
Is it safe for students to use spray paint?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. We also use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and produce less fumes. Our professional artists supervise the group at all times, ensuring a controlled and safe environment where students can focus entirely on their creative expression without any risks.
Can you host the workshop at our school?
Absolutely! We can bring our mobile workshop setup directly to your school grounds in Quebec City, whether that is a parking lot or a courtyard. If you prefer to get the students out of the classroom, we can also host the session at one of our inspiring local street art partner locations. We are flexible and will work with you to find the best spot.
Can the workshop be tailored to a specific educational theme?
Yes, we can! We often design workshops around specific themes like 'Environmental Protection,' 'School Spirit,' or 'Diversity and Inclusion.' This makes the activity even more educational, as students have to brainstorm how to represent these complex ideas visually before they ever pick up a spray can. It is a fantastic way to combine art with social studies or ethics.
Do students need any prior art experience?
Not at all. Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the very basics—how to hold the can, how to control the pressure, and how to create simple lines. Our professional artists provide step-by-step guidance, ensuring that every student, regardless of their natural artistic ability, walks away feeling proud of what they have created. It’s all about the experience and the fun!
Do we have to pay in advance for the workshop?
No, you don't need to pay anything upfront! We believe in the quality of our workshops, so you only pay after the event is successfully completed. This makes the booking process stress-free for teachers and administrators. Simply book your date, and we will take care of the rest. We also provide backup artists to ensure your event never gets cancelled.
What is the maximum group size for a school workshop?
We recommend a minimum group size of 10 students to keep the energy high, but we can accommodate very large groups of 100 or more by bringing in additional professional artists. We maintain a healthy student-to-instructor ratio to ensure everyone gets personal attention and coaching. For larger school events, we often rotate groups through different stations so everyone gets a turn to paint.
