Austin’s Original Graffiti Culture Experience & Workshop

Overview

Explore the underground graffiti scene and paint with a local graffiti artist!

You’ll get beyond the gallery by walking along the railroad in the actual streets of East Austin, a thriving neighborhood with a mix of historic grit and an up-and-coming creative culture. Immerse yourself into the vibrant unsanctioned murals, constantly revolving tags, motivations, vandal etiquette, and techniques from the most prominent local vandals and muralists. Your guide will base the experience off of your interests, so be vocal about your curiosities!

BYOB on property (the painting section)!

To top off your experience, YOU will learn the foundational techniques to leave your mark on Austin’s graffiti scene from an authentic graffiti writer as you spray paint a wall — with permission. During this portion of the experience, your host will demonstrate their craft by personalizing your very own “hi my name is” T-shirt! *t-shirt is provided*

What To Expect

East Sixth Street

East Austin is brimming with graffiti and street art. After our experience, there are an abundance of food venues and art displays to explore and enjoy. HOPE outdoor gallery used to house many artists' works, but since it has been closed to the public, most artists have moved east of the highway- where our tour takes place.

This was a great introduction to a historically misunderstood art form. A lot of interesting topic covered from history of the art, as well as the art itself and how to appreciate it.

Learning how to read graffiti was very fun and rewarding. Learning how to make graffiti was even better.

What an interesting experience with a talented, knowledgeable, humble - I would dare say graffiti celebrity. Gave us insight of the life of a graffiti artist based on his personal journey. The topics were organic and based on what we seem to be interested in. Meanwhile I would book again knowing it will be totally different next time around. Plus the spray painting was fun.
