Easily the most fun we had all weekend in Chicago! Very easy to follow, lots of time to be creative independently, and super cool medium for our 10yr old. Highly recommend!

It was awesome!!! Jason the instructor was amazing and lovely to talk to. My girlfriend and I had an absolute blast getting the freedom to make whatever we wanted. We both loved graffiti before and were so excited to come to the class, it fulfilled and exceeded our expectations :) 100% will be returning!!

Such a fun workshop ! Me & my partner had a amazing time at this workshop. It was easy to get started and the instructor did a great job at explaining everything. We had a really fun time, would do it again.

Very great experience. When with my sorority sister and it was such a great bonding experience. And it helps you understand if you’re a perfectionist or not lol!

Screw this app

Jeremy_M, Jun 2026

Never got to have an experience. Stupid weather app said a severe storm with possible tornado was going to be affecting that area at time of experience. I tried rescheduling but I couldn't. Now I'm out $300. So yeah it was horrible!

A fun and different activity!

Had a laugh and left with art.

This is a fun experience with spray paint. You will end up with a work of art to keep forever! Instructor is very helpful.

Great experience. Do it. Date night, birthdays, creative outlet, just go.

Alana_M, Apr 2026

Camile was a great instructor and had such a good vibe. Learned some really helpful techniques from him ( creating text, drip, splatter and overlay/drop shadow) that were easy to incorporate into our work. We also had a minute to practice on the walls. They had canvases prepared and a ton of spray paint colors to share with the group. In addition to that there were a lot of stencils to choose from. I would only say that there needs to be better ventillation. But other than that, it was a great experience and we would definitely do it again!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!! will definitely be returning :)

Christian_L, Mar 2026

This was an amazing experience the instructor was fun and professional. I would highly recommend this for a date night or night out with friends

Instead of doomscrolling, do this!

Laura_M, Mar 2026

I don’t know why I didn’t think about it but people visiting should probably be reminded to wear things that they aren’t afraid to get paint on. I thought it was a fun activity and a worthwhile way to spend time. The instructor was kind and showed us various techniques. Good time.

Jacky_E, Jan 2026

It was a very fun experience! Definitely would recommend to others and will definitely be doing it again !

10 out of 10!!!

Jasmine_R, Jan 2026

During our spray paint and sip experience on 1/18/26 we had an excellent instructor who was VERY informative and entertaining! We were able to ask other questions regarding spray paint and art as well. I would recommend this 10 times over but make sure you bring a bottle. That definitely adds to the experience as well but i would do this sober too lol

Please Go.!

Calais_S, Jan 2026

It was very nice inviting worth the experience for sure the guy was very kind and funny and his own little way.! I would go again.!

abbie_v, Dec 2025

Great time! Very friendly and informative. Would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone. Loved it

Do it!

Glenn_H, Dec 2025

Izzy led an amazing class that promoted a fun and creative artistic process. One that embraces and accepts the unexpected “accidents” of learning a new art form. Izzy’s kind and positive demeanor led our class into a comfortable environment. One where we could let go of our expectations for what our art should be and experiment with what it could be. The facility was clean, spacious, and a beautiful collage of graffiti. They were able to provide a multitude of colors and stencils to facilitate any direction you wanted to take your art.
