Do I need to be good at drawing to join the workshop?

No artistic experience is needed at all. Our Merida workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional artists lead you through every stage, from holding the can correctly to mastering complex shading. We focus on the fun and the process of creating, so whether you are a natural born artist or someone who cannot even draw a stick figure, you will leave with a piece of art you are proud of.

Is the workshop safe and what should I wear?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high quality protective gear including professional grade face masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. The spray paints we use are selected for their quality and we always work in well ventilated outdoor or semi outdoor spaces. Our instructors are trained to ensure everyone uses the equipment safely while having a blast creating their masterpieces.

How long does the graffiti session last?

A standard onboarding workshop in Merida usually lasts between 90 minutes and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your large scale mural. We can adjust the timing to fit your specific schedule if you are planning this as part of a larger event.

Do I have to pay in advance for the booking?

Absolutely! Unlike many other providers, we do not require any payment before the workshop takes place. We believe in the quality of our service and want you to feel completely comfortable booking with us. You simply enjoy the creative experience in Merida and settle the payment once the workshop is finished. It is all about trust and ensuring you have the best time possible.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes a wide variety of premium spray paint colours, caps for different line widths, protective clothing, and the canvases or wall space. You do not need to bring a single thing except your enthusiasm and a bit of creative energy. We handle all the prep and the cleanup afterwards.

What happens if it rains on the day of the event?

If the weather in Merida decides not to cooperate, we have you covered. We can often move the workshop to a sheltered outdoor area or use an indoor space with appropriate ventilation. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we are very flexible with scheduling and can usually find a solution that ensures your event goes ahead without a hitch, rain or shine.

Local culture

Merida is famous for its stunning white limestone buildings and rich Mayan heritage, but look closer and you will find a city that breathes creativity. From the colourful streets of Santa Ana to the hidden murals of the Santiago neighbourhood, street art has become a vital part of the local identity. Our workshops tap into this local energy, offering a bridge between traditional Yucatecan aesthetics and contemporary urban grit. Fun fact: Merida is often called "The White City", which provides the ultimate contrasting backdrop for the vivid, neon colours of a fresh graffiti piece! We love bringing the spirit of modern Mexico to life through every workshop we host here. 🎨
