What equipment is included in the festival workshop?

We provide everything! Your session includes high-quality spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and masks. We also provide various surfaces to paint on, from professional-grade canvases to larger temporary walls. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and some clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on. We’ve got the rest covered so you can focus on the art!

Is there an age limit for participants at the festival?

While we love seeing talent of all ages, our spray paint workshops are generally best suited for those aged 6 and up due to the physical coordination required to operate the cans. For the younger festival-goers, we often have alternative creative activities like sketching or marker tagging. It’s a brilliant way for teenagers and adults alike to bond over a shared love for street culture!

Do I need to be artistic or have experience?

Absolutely! In fact, most of our workshop participants have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are experts at breaking down the basics, from how to hold the can to mastering 'fat caps' and 'skinny caps.' We guide you through every step, ensuring you walk away with a piece of art you’re actually proud of. It’s all about having a go!

How long does a typical workshop session last?

At festivals, we typically run sessions lasting anywhere from 45 minutes for a quick 'taster' to 2 hours for a deep-dive masterclass. Because festival schedules are busy, we keep things moving and energetic. Check the local Jazz a la Calle schedule or our booth board on the day for specific start times and to book your slot so you don't miss out!

What safety measures do you have in place?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide FFP2 or FFP3 grade masks to filter out fumes, as well as disposable gloves and protective suits to keep your festival outfit clean. Our artists also provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone shakes a can. We always work in well-ventilated outdoor areas to ensure everyone breathes easy while they create.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

The best part of our Mercedes workshops is that you get to take your creation home! If you paint on one of our provided canvases, it’s yours to keep once it’s dry (usually about 15-20 minutes). If you contribute to a large-scale collective mural, we make sure to take high-quality photos that you can download later to share your contribution with the world.

Creative graffiti and street art workshops, music festival in Mercedes

Heading to a music festival in Mercedes and want to do more than just dance? Welcome to the ultimate creative pitstop! Our graffiti workshop experience in Mercedes brings the raw energy of urban street art directly to the heart of the festival grounds. While the music hums in the background, you'll be shaking cans, popping caps, and unleashing your inner Banksy under the guidance of world-class aerosol artists. We believe that festivals are about expression, and there’s no better way to express yourself than by blasting vibrant colours onto a blank canvas. Whether you're a total beginner or a budding illustrator, our workshops offer a high-octane, hands-on escape from the mosh pit. 🎨 🔥 Ready to make your mark?

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next festival outing? Because static art is boring, and smashing paint onto a wall is exhilarating! Our workshops aren't just about learning a skill; they're about the adrenaline rush of creation. Here’s why we’re a festival favourite:

Total Accessibility: If you can hold a can, you can create. We make art inclusive for everyone. 🏆
Expert Mentors: Our artists aren't just teachers; they are active members of the street art community who live and breathe this culture.
Perfect Festival Vibe: The mix of music, sun, and spray paint creates an unforgettable atmosphere that beats any standard workshop. 🎤
Zero Stress: With our 'pay after' policy and backup artists on standby, your experience is guaranteed to be smooth and fun.
Memorable Souvenirs: Forget overpriced merch; take home a piece of art you actually made yourself! 🎉

Step by step

Grab your gear: Meet us at the booth where we'll get you kitted out in a protective suit, gloves, and a mask to keep you looking sharp and staying safe.
The artist's briefing: Our pro graffiti artists will give you a quick intro to the history of street art and the 'rules of the road' for using spray paint.
Can control 101: Learn the basics of pressure control. You'll practice making dots, thin lines, and thick flares on a practice board to get the feel of the can.
Sketch your vibe: Use chalk or markers to outline your design. Whether it's your name, a wild character, or an abstract shape, this is your blueprint.
Fill it in: Time to add the colour! Start filling your shapes with bold hues, learning how to blend colours directly on the surface for that pro 'fade' effect.
The 'Power' outline: This is where the magic happens. We'll show you how to add a crisp black outline to make your artwork pop off the background.
Details and highlights: Add 'shines' with white paint and some 3D shadows to give your piece depth and character.
Signature move: Every artist needs a tag. Finish your work by signing it with your very own stylised graffiti signature!

Good to know

We've designed our festival workshops to be as seamless as possible so you don't miss your favourite band's set. Here’s what you need to know:

Duration: Flexible sessions ranging from 45 to 120 minutes.
Group Sizes: We can handle small groups of 5 or massive festival crowds of 100+ via staggered start times.
Inclusions: All paint, caps, safety gear, canvases, and professional tuition.
Weather: We use pop-up tents to keep the sun or light rain off, but workshops are wind-dependent for safety.
Booking: No upfront payment! We trust our festival fans—you can pay on the day or pre-book for large groups.

Local culture

Mercedes isn't called 'La Coqueta del Hum' for nothing! This city has a deep-rooted soul for the arts, most famously seen during the 'Jazz a la Calle' international festival. While the streets echo with saxophones and trumpets, we're adding a visual rhythm to the mix. The local art scene here is growing, and there is a wonderful tradition of community murals that celebrate the beauty of the Rio Negro. We draw inspiration from the city's blend of colonial charm and modern creative spirit, making Mercedes the perfect backdrop for a graffiti explosion. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know Mercedes is considered the jazz capital of Uruguay? It’s a place where improvisation is celebrated—which is exactly what graffiti is all about! 🎷
