How does a graffiti workshop actually prevent vandalism?

It might sound like a contradiction, but it works! By teaching the techniques and the culture of street art, we shift the focus from destructive tagging to constructive muralism. Participants learn that art requires permission, planning, and respect for public space. When people understand the effort behind a great piece of art, they are far less likely to vandalise their own community and more likely to protect it.

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely not! We provide everything you need to get started. Our professional artists in Rivera will guide you through the basics, from how to hold the can to creating clean lines and fades. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before, and they are always amazed at what they can create by the end of the session. It’s all about having fun and being creative!

Is the workshop safe for younger participants?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in a well-ventilated outdoor setting. Our instructors are experienced in site safety and will ensure everyone follows the rules to keep the environment creative and hazard-free. It is a completely safe way to experience the thrills of street art.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard anti-vandalism workshops typically last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of a collaborative masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule in mind for a community event or school programme in Rivera, we can certainly adapt the duration to fit your needs perfectly.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are very flexible! We can host workshops for small groups of 10 or large-scale community events with over 100 participants. For larger groups, we bring in extra backup artists to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention and guidance. Whether it's a small local club or a massive school assembly, we have the resources and the staff to make it a roaring success.

Is there an age limit for the workshop?

We usually recommend these sessions for ages 8 and up. Younger children might struggle with the hand strength required to press the spray caps, but we can often provide alternative water-based markers or smaller cans for them. It’s a fantastic activity for teenagers and young adults, as it speaks their language and gives them a productive outlet for their energy and self-expression.

Do we need to pay in advance?

We make things as easy as possible for you. You don’t need to pay anything upfront when you book. We believe in the quality of our service, so you only pay after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. This takes the pressure off organisers and ensures a stress-free planning process for your event in Rivera.

Rivera is a city of connection, where Uruguayan and Brazilian cultures blend seamlessly along the Plaza Internacional. This unique "Dry Border" atmosphere makes it the perfect place for a graffiti workshop that bridges the gap between different worlds.

Fun Fact: Rivera is so closely linked with its Brazilian neighbour, Santana do Livramento, that you can stand with one foot in each country! Our workshops celebrate this spirit of unity and shared space. ✨
