What is the process to hire a street artist?

Here is a general process for us to paint a mural. For other graffiti services the process can vary.

1) We collect 2 sets of important specifications from you. Once we have these details, we can tell you the cost.
A) Info about the location. Usually you would send us photos of how it looks, and the general dimensions.
B) You tell us what you want for the design. It will be helpful if you can show us inspiration images which reflect elements that you like.

2) Artist selection. You can choose from our portfolio, or you can have us provide an artist based on your specifications.

3) Optional: you can have the artist prepare a rendering of the design. First we'll collect a downpayment for this from you, and then we'll take your specifications and create the rendering. We will inform you about the terms for this. Usually you are entitled to 2 minor modifications to the rendering. You can also have the rendering substantially changed or remade at additional cost.

How much does it cost to hire an artist?

The cost for each individual street artist job will be based on the specific details. The cost will factor in labor and expenses.

Here are 2 primary general pricing guidelines:

A) Price based on size/scale of the job. This would apply to murals, installations, wall painting etc. We will take the details of your request, and calculate a cost for the whole job. You can make the size larger or smaller, and the price will adjust accordingly.
For example: if you want an office wall mural painted with an attractive pattern at a size of 10 x 8 feet, we will tell you that the cost will be approximately $1200-1600.

B) Price based on artist's time. This will apply to live painting, artist entertainment, t-shirt painting etc. The price will be adjusted to suit the length of time which you prefer.
For example, if you want a graffiti artist to provide spray paint entertainment at your office party. We will till you the cost will be $250 for supplies, plus $400 for 2 hours or $550 for 3 hours.

Which locations or cities can you provide your graffiti art services?

We are based in New York City and Brooklyn. This is where most of our art jobs take place. We can also cover nearby areas like Long Island, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and across New York State. If you are located further way from here, please contact us and we will see if we can assist you.

 

 

Can I have a mural artwork made for free?

Here are the strict requirements for a free mural on your property. Both of these requirements must be met in order to qualify:

1) The artwork is openly visible to the public. So that the artist is receiving a nice place to display their work to the street.
2) The artist makes a creation of their own choice. It will not be customized for you in any way. It will not be promoting your business.

If you want an artwork which does not fit these requirements, then we will be happy to provide it! But it won't be free. The graffiti artists need to be paid when they are working for you.
