Graffiti Tours Everywhere
Graff Tours s the only tour company dedicated to graffiti art in North America. Created December 28, 2010 in New York City, Graff Tours is currently located in New York City, Philadelphia, and will soon launch in Los Angeles.. The tours are self sustaining for artists: they plan routes, lead tours, show art (often their own) and profit from the tours. We have various routes through each city we operate in, offering tours in different neighborhoods, at a variety of lengths and times. Our tours are constantly updated, and provide the most comprehensive coverage of each city’s entire street art scene. Our tours adapt to the art as it is being created and changed. With clientele from all around the world, guides who have extensive knowledge about all forms of street art and multiple routes in each city Graff Tours is the most expansive tour company in North America. Graff Tours provides in depth, well researched and smartly planned tours dedicated to street art and graffiti. We can custom design the tour that it right for you.
Graff Tours has been featured in many periodicals, from the New York Times to Time Out New York to the Enquirer. We also have partnered with museums like the Brooklyn Museum. The tours cater to all sorts of people with all sorts of interests from all over the world. From Kansas City to Germany, from rappers to actuaries. Neither age nor language is a barrier to enjoy one of our tours.
Unlike most tour companies, Graff Tours is in multiple cities, in different states. Tours are given in English, Spanish, Hebrew, and French. Our tours are flexible and allow for accompanying interpreters. Tours are given publicly or privately. Although we primarily offer walking tours, we do have a selection of car based tours. Including the first ever green graffiti tour, using a hybrid.
Graff Tours is not limited to the standard walking tour. We offer unique workshop options for people to interact with artists. Workshops are events that are run by professional graffiti artists and usually include group mural work and the creation of personal keepsakes for the group. We also offer graffiti classes, camps, team building events, and many other types of programming. Graff Tours offers audio tours and maps of many cities so you give yourself a personal tour. We even offer maps and audio tour of cities in which we do not offer walking tours. Graff Tours offers photoshoots, contact information for local graffiti artists, legal wall information, expert witness testimony, and corporate consulting on utilizing graffiti artists. Graff Tours provides cirricula based on Graffiti art, and we can speak at events and conferences about the history and culture of graffiti. Graff Tours also offers graffiti preservation and removal.
Graff Tours has an up to the minute blog to get all of the latest graffiti info. Our store sells paint, one of a kind art, and other graffiti memorabilia. Our design center can produce graffiti art for people’s bedrooms, professionals signs, and personal commissions.
Graff Tours is a new type of tour company. The guides have a stake in the company and the tours are ever changing. This company has a unique approach to preserving and learning about the graffiti art form by going to the art instead of removing this art from its original context. The company was founded by Gabe Schoenberg for the purpose of canonizing an ever changing art form and at the same time create an avenue to teach people about a drastically misunderstood culture. The company has plans to expand to many other cities, and are looking for people to join us in our mission.
