Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Merida have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the absolute basics, from how to stand and hold the can to mastering finger pressure for different line widths. We provide a supportive, judgement-free environment where your only job is to have fun and experiment. You will be amazed at what you can create by the end of the session!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. The workshop begins with a comprehensive safety briefing. We also use premium spray paint brands that offer better control and less "dust," ensuring a comfortable environment for everyone. Our backup artist policy means we always have professional oversight to keep the session running smoothly and safely.

How long does the workshop last?

The duration typically ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours. This depends on your group size and the specific package you choose. A standard onboarding workshop usually lasts about 2 hours—giving you enough time to learn the theory, practice your strokes, and complete a final masterpiece. If you are looking for a more intensive deep-dive into street art culture, we can certainly extend the duration!

What do we actually paint on?

We are all about flexibility! You can choose to paint on professional-grade canvases, which you get to take home as a souvenir, or we can arrange for a large communal plastic wall (cellograff) for a collaborative group experience. For certain events, we can even work on permanent walls if a legal space is available. Let us know your preference, and we will make it happen!

How does the payment process work?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our "no stress" booking policy. You do not need to pay anything upfront. We believe in our service so much that you only pay after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. This makes organizing group events in Merida a breeze, as you don't have to worry about collecting money in advance.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We can host workshops for almost any group size! Whether you are a small group of 5 friends or a massive corporate team of 100+, we have the gear and the artists to handle it. For larger groups, we simply bring in more of our professional street artists to ensure everyone gets plenty of personal guidance and hands-on time with the spray cans.

What should I wear to the session?

While we provide overalls, we always recommend wearing comfortable "work" clothes and old trainers that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. Since Merida can have a bit of a mountain breeze, bringing a light jacket is a good idea too. We provide all the professional gear—cans, nozzles (caps), masks, and gloves—so you just need to bring your enthusiasm!

Local culture

Merida isn't just about the world's highest cable car; it’s a city of vibrant students, intellectuals, and a thriving underground arts scene. The "Ciudad de los Caballeros" has a unique aesthetic, where the colonial architecture of the city centre meets the raw, modern energy of student-led street art. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, drawing inspiration from the breathtaking views of the Pico Bolívar and the colourful houses of the old town. 🏔️

Fun Fact: Did you know that Merida is home to the famous Heladería Coromoto, which once held the Guinness World Record for the most ice cream flavours? We like to think our spray paint colour palette is just as diverse! Whether we're painting near the bustling Plaza Bolívar or in a dedicated creative studio, the artistic energy of this city is infectious. ✨

Our workshop prices are tailored to your specific needs. Prices depend on group size, location, and the type of setup you choose (e.g., individual canvases vs. large walls).
