A Vancouver pop-up built around bombing trains — writers and guests painting freight-car panels live on a digital wall, then folding their pieces into paper 3D models to take home.

Graffiti's roots are on the side of a train. We built a pop-up in Vancouver that put that format front-and-centre: the Graffiti+ LED wall configured to look and behave like the long horizontal panel of a freight car. Writers and guests stepped up side by side, picked up a custom spray can, and painted live pieces in real time.

Then the take-home: each finished freight-car piece was printed onto cardboard, scored, and folded into a 3D paper train model. Pocket-sized, foldable, and a physical artifact of the digital piece a guest had just painted. Real graffiti culture for the artists who came; an accessible way in for the people who'd never held a can; a take-home that made the loop feel complete.

Graffiti has always been about the canvas. The train format just makes that obvious — and the wall + paper-model take-home turned a community pop-up into one of the more original community formats we've run.

Eighteen years. Six continents. One idea, done right.

For eighteen years, Graffiti+ has been putting real creative tools in people's hands — in public, at scale, and always with cultural integrity.

Born from the roots of graffiti culture and built for anyone willing to pick up a custom spray can, the platform transforms community spaces into shared canvases where writers and guests paint together in real time. From their home in Vancouver to projects across six continents, Graffiti+ has partnered with city festivals, brand activations and community pop-ups including our Vancouver workshop series, Outloud Macau, Urban Break Seoul, Nike and Samsung.

Graffiti has always been about the canvas. Let the canvas be a freight car for a night.
