Is this a street art tour or a practical workshop?

While Salvador is known for its incredible street art in areas like Rio Vermelho, we don't just walk and look. Our retreat workshops are fully hands-on! While we may draw inspiration from local murals, the focus is on you picking up a spray can and learning the techniques yourself under the guidance of a professional artist. It's an active, creative experience rather than a passive sightseeing tour.

Do I need any previous artistic experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our graffiti retreat workshops in Salvador are designed for all skill levels, especially total beginners. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, from holding the can to mastering 'fading' and 'outlining'. You'll be amazed at what you can create in just a few hours. The goal is to relax, have fun, and express yourself, regardless of your previous art experience.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We've got you covered! We provide high-quality spray paint in a rainbow of colours, protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or wall space for your creation. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm, some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on, and your creative energy!

Is the spray paint safe to use during the retreat?

Safety is our number one priority. We use professional-grade low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control, and we provide high-quality respiratory masks and gloves for every participant. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoor spaces. Our instructors are experienced professionals who ensure everyone follows safety protocols while having a blast. We make sure the environment is secure and comfortable for everyone.

Where in Salvador do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible! If you have a specific private villa, pousada, or event space in Salvador, we can often bring the retreat to you. Alternatively, we have several partner locations across the city, from creative studios to cool outdoor spots. Just let us know your preference when booking, and we'll find the perfect backdrop for your graffiti experience.

What is the minimum age for the retreat workshop?

Our graffiti retreats are perfect for adults, but we can certainly accommodate teenagers and older children with parental supervision. Because we use professional spray equipment, we generally recommend a minimum age of 8 for full participation. It’s a fantastic way for families or multi-generational groups to bond over a shared creative project in a beautiful tropical setting.

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

Salvador can be sunny one minute and rainy the next! Most of our retreat locations have covered areas or indoor alternatives so the creative flow doesn't have to stop. If we are planned for an outdoor space and the weather looks truly uncooperative, we’ll work with you to reschedule or move to one of our indoor studio partners. We always have a backup plan!

Local culture

Salvador is a city that breathes art, from the rhythmic drumming of Olodum in the Pelourinho to the vivid murals lining the streets of Rio Vermelho. The street art scene here is deeply connected to the city's African roots and spiritual heritage, often featuring bold colours and social messages that reflect the resilience and joy of the Bahian people. Unlike the industrial vibe of Sao Paulo, Salvador's graffiti feels organic, tropical, and incredibly alive. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Salvador was the first capital of Brazil? This historical depth provides a stunning contrast to the modern, rebellious spirit of contemporary street art, making it one of the most unique places in the world to pick up a spray can!

When you join our retreat, you aren't just painting; you're joining a long tradition of visual storytelling. We take inspiration from the "Ladeira da Montanha" and the hidden gems of the lower city to help you find your unique Bahian flow.
