Do I need any previous art experience to join a retreat workshop in Arequipa?

Absolutely! Our Arequipa retreat workshops are designed specifically for beginners. You don't need to be'the next Picasso' to have a blast. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering shading and layering. It’s all about relaxing, having fun, and discovering a creative side you might not have known existed in the beautiful shadow of the Misti volcano.

What materials are included in the retreat package?

We provide everything you need for a complete creative experience! This includes high-quality spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or walls for your masterpieces. Just bring your enthusiasm and perhaps some comfortable shoes—we’ll take care of all the technical gear and safety equipment so you can focus on the art.

How long does a typical creative retreat workshop last?

A standard graffiti retreat session usually lasts between 2.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of your final artwork without feeling rushed. However, we can also customise full-day or multi-day creative retreats for groups looking for a deeper immersion into the street art world. It’s your creative journey, so we’re flexible with the timing!

Is the spray paint safe to use during the workshop?

Safety is our absolute priority. We use high-quality, low-odour spray paints and provide professional-grade respiratory masks and nitrile gloves for all participants. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces to ensure fresh air circulation. Our artist-instructors are also highly experienced in managing groups safely, ensuring everyone has a brilliant time while staying completely protected throughout the creative process.

Can you accommodate large groups for a corporate retreat?

We love hosting groups! Our retreat workshops are perfect for teams, families, or groups of friends visiting Arequipa. Whether you are a small group of 5 or a large corporate team of 50, we can scale the experience to suit your needs. For very large groups, we bring in additional backup artists to ensure everyone gets plenty of personal guidance and hands-on time with the spray cans.

What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor workshop?

Arequipa’s weather is generally fantastic, but if the heavens do open, we’ve got you covered—literally! We always have backup indoor or sheltered locations available, or we can reschedule the session to a time that suits you better. Because we have a team of backup artists, we almost never have to cancel, ensuring your creative plans stay on track regardless of the Andean clouds.

Are drinks and snacks provided during the creative session?

While we focus on the art experience, our retreat workshops are often held at beautiful locations that offer catering options. We can certainly help coordinate refreshments, snacks, or even a full Peruvian lunch to keep your energy up while you craft your masterpiece. Just let us know your requirements when booking, and we’ll help make your creative retreat in the 'White City' as delicious as it is artistic.

Local culture

Arequipa is a city of incredible contrasts, where the gleaming white volcanic sillar stone meets a growing, edgy urban art scene. While famous for its colonial charm, neighborhoods like Yanahuara are becoming hotspots for creative expression. Our retreat workshop in Arequipa taps into this local energy, drawing inspiration from the deep blues of the Andean sky and the rich textures of the surrounding mountains. We love connecting the tradition of the city with the modern rebellion of graffiti art. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know Arequipa is nicknamed 'La Ciudad Blanca' (The White City)? Most of the historic centre is built from sillar, a white volcanic stone. It provides a crisp, bright "natural canvas" feel that makes the vibrant colours of our graffiti spray cans pop even more! 🏔️

Whether you've spent the morning hiking the Colca Canyon or strolling through the Plaza de Armas, our workshop is the ultimate way to cap off your Arequipa experience. We also offer similar creative vibes in Lima and Cusco if your Peruvian journey continues!

Pricing

We believe every creative retreat should be as unique as the art you create. Because we tailor our sessions to your specific needs, group size, and location within Arequipa, we don't have a one-size-fits-all price list. Whether you're looking for a small private session or a large-scale corporate event, we'll provide a fair and transparent estimate.

Prices depend on group size and setup—request a quote today for an instant estimate!
