Is it safe for secondary school students to use spray paint?

The safety of your students is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep everyone clean and safe. Our professional artists are fully trained in health and safety protocols and provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-odour, professional-grade paints in well-ventilated outdoor areas to ensure a comfortable environment for all participants.

Do students need to have prior artistic talent?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from complete beginners to budding young artists. Our instructors are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, manageable steps. We focus on the process and the fun of creation rather than perfection. Every student will leave the session feeling like a pro, having created something they can truly be proud of!

How long does a typical school workshop last?

In Rio de Janeiro, our sessions typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives the group plenty of time to learn the history of street art, practice basic can control, and complete their final collaborative masterpiece. We can also adapt the timing to fit into your specific school timetable or provide a more intensive full-day 'immersion' experience if requested.

Where do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible! We can host the workshop at your school premises (outdoors or in a well-ventilated space) or at one of our pre-approved street art locations in Rio. Many schools prefer the convenience of having us come to them, but taking the students to a 'legal wall' in the city can add an extra layer of urban authenticity to the day.

What is your payment and cancellation policy?

Unlike many other providers, we don't require any payment before the workshop takes place. We believe in the quality of our service and want you to feel completely confident. You can settle the invoice after the session is complete and you've seen the smiles on your students' faces. We also have backup artists available to ensure your event always goes ahead as planned.

Can the workshop be linked to the school curriculum?

Absolutely! Our workshops are highly educational and can be tailored to support the national curriculum. We often focus on themes like visual arts, urban history, social expression, and even teamwork and communication. If you have a specific theme or project your students are working on, just let us know and we can integrate it into the creative session.

Local culture

Rio de Janeiro is one of the world's most incredible canvases. From the iconic murals in the Porto Maravilha to the colourful stairs of Selarón, street art is woven into the very fabric of the Marvelous City. Our workshops celebrate this local heritage, teaching students about the distinct 'Carioca' style that sets Rio's graffiti apart from the rest of the world. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Rio de Janeiro was one of the first major cities in the world to fully decriminalise street art on public property (with permission)? This forward-thinking approach has turned the city into a global open-air gallery!
