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

Absolutely! Our Rivera retreat workshops are specifically designed for beginners. Most of our participants have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists guide you through every step, from basic safety and 'can control' to advanced shading techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. We focus on the fun and creative process rather than technical perfection!

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need for a complete creative experience. This includes premium spray cans in a rainbow of colours, high-quality caps for different line widths, protective overalls, gloves, and professional masks. We also provide the canvases or surfaces you'll be working on. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on!

How long does a typical retreat workshop last?

Our retreat workshops are highly flexible. While a standard creative session usually lasts around 2 to 3 hours, we can extend this into a full-day immersive retreat or even a multi-day art experience in Rivera. We move at your pace, ensuring there's plenty of time for both focused creation and relaxing social breaks to soak in the local atmosphere.

Is there a minimum or maximum group size?

While we love working with large groups, we also cater to smaller, intimate retreat parties. Our pricing and logistics are tailored to your specific group size. Whether you are a small group of friends or a large corporate team on a retreat, we have the artist capacity and materials to ensure everyone gets hands-on time and personalised tuition. Contact us for a bespoke quote!

What safety measures do you have in place?

Safety is our top priority. We use high-quality spray paint and provide all necessary European-standard protective gear, including FFP2 or FFP3 masks and gloves. Our artists are highly trained in site safety and will give a comprehensive briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure the environment is well-ventilated and that everyone feels comfortable and secure throughout the entire process.

What happens if it rains or an artist is unavailable?

Rivera has a unique climate, but we never let a bit of rain dampen our spirits. We have access to various covered or indoor locations across the city where we can host the workshop regardless of the weather. Additionally, because we have a large team of backup artists, your booking is secure even if an original instructor is unavailable. We guarantee your creative retreat will go ahead!

Can we take our artwork home after the session?

One of the coolest things about our Rivera retreat is that you get to keep what you create! If we are working on individual canvases or boards, you can take your artwork home as a unique souvenir of your time in Uruguay. For larger collaborative murals, we make sure to provide high-quality digital photos of the finished piece so you can share your achievement with the world.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti retreat in the heart of Rivera? Beyond the excitement of using a spray can, it’s about the total shift in perspective. It's the perfect way to recharge your batteries while learning a brand new skill in a supportive, high-energy atmosphere. 🔥

Total creative freedom: Forget the rules of traditional art; here, your imagination is the only limit! 🌈
Expert guidance: Work alongside professional artists who live and breathe street culture. 🎤
Stress relief: There’s something incredibly therapeutic about the 'hiss' of a spray can and the flow of paint. ✨
Social bonding: Nothing brings a group together like collaborating on a giant, colourful mural. 🤝
Unique location: Experience the vibrant border culture of Rivera through an artistic lens. 🇺🇾
Zero risk: With our backup artist policy and 'pay later' system, your experience is 100% guaranteed. ✅

Step by step

The warm welcome: Meet your professional artist at our Rivera creative hub for a brief introduction to the world of street art and an overview of the day's flow.
Design brainstorming: Grab a sketchpad and pen. We'll help you translate your retreat's theme or your personal ideas into a workable graffiti concept.
Mastering the tools: Learn about 'fat caps' and 'skinny caps'. We'll show you how to handle the spray cans, control pressure, and create different line weights.
Outline and structure: Get to the wall or canvas! You'll start by sketching the basic shapes of your design using light colours to build your foundation.
Fill-ins and fades: This is where the magic happens. We'll teach you how to blend colours smoothly and fill in your shapes with vibrant, popping hues.
The power of the outline: Learn the 'cutting' technique to sharpen your edges and make your graffiti letters or characters truly stand out.
Dynamic detailing: Add highlights, 3D shadows, and those 'funky' extras that give street art its signature energy and personality.
The grand reveal: Step back, drop the cans, and admire the collective masterpiece. It’s time for a group photo with your finished work!
Reflection and wrap-up: Finish the retreat with a brief chat about the creative process over refreshments before heading off with your new skills.

Local culture

Rivera is a city of connection, where Uruguayan and Brazilian cultures blend seamlessly along the 'Frontera de la Paz'. This international spirit makes it a fertile ground for expressive street art. While you're here for your retreat, you'll notice the city's unique charm, from the bustling shops of Sarandí Street to the serene views at Park International. The local street art scene is growing, reflecting the bilingual and multicultural soul of the region. 🎉

Fun Fact: Did you know that in Rivera, you can stand with one foot in Uruguay and the other in Brazil at the Plaza Internacional? Our workshops often draw inspiration from this 'borderless' concept, encouraging designs that bridge different styles and ideas!
