Do I need to have any artistic experience to participate?

Absolutely no prior experience is needed! Our retreat workshops are designed specifically for beginners and creative seekers. Our professional artists in Buenos Aires will guide you through every stage, from holding the can correctly to mastering complex shading. We focus on the joy of creation and personal expression, making it a stress-free environment where you can explore your artistic side without any judgment or pressure.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a complete creative retreat. This includes premium spray paint in a wide array of colours, high-quality caps for different line widths, protective clothing (overalls, gloves, and masks), and professional-grade canvases or wall space. We also have backup artists on standby to ensure your session goes ahead perfectly, regardless of any unforeseen circumstances. Just bring your enthusiasm and comfortable clothes!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We use high-quality, low-odour spray paints whenever possible and provide all necessary protective gear, including professional-grade respiratory masks, gloves, and coveralls. Our instructors conduct a thorough safety briefing at the start of every session, teaching you the proper handling of aerosol cans to ensure a fun, secure, and worry-free experience for everyone involved.

How long does a typical retreat workshop last?

Our creative retreat sessions typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows for a deep dive into the history of BA street art, a comprehensive technique tutorial, and plenty of hands-on time to complete your own masterpiece. If you are looking for a more intensive multi-day retreat experience, we can certainly customise an itinerary that spans several days across various Buenos Aires neighbourhoods.

How does the payment process work?

We believe in ultimate flexibility for our retreat guests. You don't need to pay anything upfront when booking your session. Payment is only required after the workshop has been completed, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the experience. This 'pay-after' policy is part of our commitment to trust and professional service, making the planning process for your Buenos Aires trip completely stress-free.

What happens if it rains on the day of our retreat?

Buenos Aires is famously sunny, but we always have a plan B. Many of our mural locations have covered areas, or we can move the retreat to a spacious indoor studio setup. Because we have multiple backup artists and flexible venue options, we can almost always guarantee your workshop will proceed. We’ll coordinate with you to ensure your creative flow isn't interrupted by the 'Sudestada' winds.

Local culture

Buenos Aires is a living, breathing sketchbook. From the politically charged stencils of San Telmo to the massive, whimsical murals of Palermo Soho and Villa Crespo, the city breathes art. The local 'porteño' culture embraces public space as a canvas for storytelling. During your retreat, you’ll notice the influence of 'Fileteado porteño'—the traditional decorative art of the city—blending seamlessly with modern graffiti techniques.

We leverage this incredible atmosphere, often conducting our sessions in hidden courtyards or near legendary street art spots like the 'Pasaje Lanín'. The energy of the city, with its tango roots and European architecture, provides an unparalleled backdrop that naturally fuels the creative process, making Buenos Aires the definitive choice for a street art retreat.
