I set up a workshop for my team to try something new after hearing how fun it was from another team in my company who had done 1AM's graffiti workshop.

I found the experience enlightening and our group had a great time attempting to be graffiti artists. I initially thought the history portion might be a little boring but I found it very insightful to understanding the purpose and differences between street art, murals, tagging, and graffiti. I can say now that I appreciate it and will be more aware of different artists throughout the bay area!

We bought the graffiti workshop package with take-home canvases. The experience itself is broken down to intros, a tagging session where you create a street tag of yourself and tag a canvas shared by your group, a history of various forms of graffiti and street art, a walking tour of some neighborhood graffiti/art, a free for all graffiti session where you get to do anything your heart desires on their walls, and then finally depending on what package your group buys you get to contribute to final graffiti piece (your group decides the colors and what the piece will be) either on their wall or on a canvas. Don't worry, the real graffiti artist will make minor "touch ups" ;)

Thank you so much to Ethan and Maggie for hosting our group. They were fantastic! Also, thanks to their entire staff (shout to Daniel and Vanessa) for helping to scheduling and payment. Highly recommend if you're looking to do something more creative for your team!
