Do I need any previous art experience to join the retreat?

Absolutely! Most of our retreat participants in Melo have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down complex techniques into simple, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and fades before moving onto letter structure and filling. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the professional-looking masterpiece you've created with your team.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our artists provide a full safety briefing before anyone pushes a nozzle, ensuring a creative environment that is both fun and completely secure for all participants.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard creative retreat workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of a large-scale collaborative mural. If you have a specific schedule for your Melo retreat, we can certainly adapt the timing to fit your itinerary perfectly.

Can you host the workshop at our specific retreat venue?

We are completely mobile! While we have preferred spots around Melo, we can bring the entire graffiti experience to your chosen retreat venue, hotel, or a local community space. As long as we have a suitable wall or can set up our mobile cellophane 'walls', we can transform almost any location into a vibrant street art studio.

Do we need to pay in advance?

We believe in the quality of our experiences, which is why we don't require upfront payments for most bookings. You can organise your Melo retreat with peace of mind, knowing that you only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. It’s part of our commitment to ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the creative journey we provide.

What should we bring to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty, even though we provide protective gear. Everything else is on us! We bring the paint, the caps, the masks, and the canvases. Just bring your enthusiasm, your team spirit, and perhaps a camera to capture the transformation of a blank wall into a work of art.

Local culture

Melo is a city with a soul that dances to its own rhythm—most famously during its legendary Carnival. This spirit of public celebration and artistic expression makes it the ideal location for a retreat workshop. While the city is proud of its history, from the Plaza Constitución to the shores of the Arroyo Conventos, there is a growing appetite for modern creative outlets. Street art in Melo isn't just about paint; it's about the local "gaucho" pride meeting contemporary global culture. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know Melo is the setting for the famous film The Pope's Toilet? The city has a long history of community spirit and creative problem-solving, which is exactly the energy we bring to our graffiti sessions! Whether you're exploring the nearby hills or enjoying the local hospitality, adding a street art workshop adds a modern, edgy twist to your traditional Uruguayan retreat experience.
