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

Absolutely not! Our Porto retreat workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of can control, fading, and outlining before you start on your masterpiece. It is all about the process, the relaxation, and the joy of creating something new in a supportive, fun environment. We provide all the guidance you need to feel like a pro.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We want you to be comfortable, so we recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a little 'colourful'. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, shoe covers, and gloves, those fine spray particles can sometimes find their way onto your sleeves. Think of it as your new artist's uniform! If you are visiting Porto, just bring your enthusiasm and your most comfortable 'painting' gear.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Yes, safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective gear for every participant. We typically host our retreat workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open spaces to ensure fresh air circulation. Our professional instructors will also give a full safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring a worry-free experience for your entire group in the heart of Porto.

How long does a typical retreat session last?

A standard retreat workshop in Porto usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time to cover the history of street art, learn the essential techniques, and then dive deep into the creative process on your own canvas or mural. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for finding your flow without feeling rushed, allowing the meditative benefits of the art to really kick in.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We can accommodate groups of almost any size! Whether you are a small team of 10 or a large corporate group of 100+ looking for a creative escape, we have the artists and materials to make it happen. We scale our team of professional graffiti artists based on your numbers to ensure everyone gets individual attention and coaching. For very large groups, we can even set up multiple 'creative stations'.

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

Porto's weather can be unpredictable, but we always have a plan! We have access to various indoor locations or covered outdoor spaces where the workshop can proceed rain or shine. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never cancel. If the weather is looking truly abysmal, we will coordinate with you to find the best alternative setup to keep the creative vibes flowing.

Do we get to keep our artwork after the session?

The best part is that you get to keep what you create! Each participant usually works on an individual high-quality canvas that you can take home as a souvenir of your Porto retreat. For team-building versions, you might work on a massive communal mural—even then, we can arrange for the boards to be delivered to your office or home to serve as a lasting memory of your collective creativity.

Local culture

Porto isn't just about ancient cathedrals and port cellars; it is a canvas waiting to be painted. From the stunning murals in the Cedofeita district to the hidden 'vandal' gems in Fontainhas, street art is woven into the city's fabric. Our workshops draw inspiration from Porto's unique blend of traditional Azulejo patterns and gritty urban masterpieces. We believe the Atlantic breeze and the city's hilly vistas provide the perfect backdrop for a creative retreat.

Fun Fact: Did you know Porto is home to 'Half Rabbit', a massive 3D street art installation made entirely of recycled materials? It's a testament to the city's innovative and sustainable urban art spirit! 🐰
