Is the graffiti workshop safe for people with disabilities?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every participant. Our artist-facilitators in Artigas are trained to supervise the session closely, ensuring that everyone uses the spray cans correctly. We also use low-odour professional paints whenever possible to ensure a comfortable and safe environment for those with sensory sensitivities.

How long does a special needs workshop last?

Our workshops in Artigas typically last between 1.5 to 2 hours. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining high energy and focus without causing fatigue. However, we are completely flexible; if your group needs more frequent breaks or a shorter, high-impact session, just let us know. We move at your pace to ensure everyone has a blast!

Do we need any previous artistic experience?

Not at all! This is all about expression, not perfection. Our professional artists will guide your group through the basics, from holding the can to creating simple shapes and 'tags'. We provide stencils and outlines to help anyone who might feel nervous about drawing freehand. Use our online Tag Creator before the session to get some practice in!

Where in Artigas do the workshops take place?

We can host these workshops almost anywhere in Artigas! We can arrange a session at a vibrant outdoor legal graffiti wall, or we can bring the entire setup to your support centre, school, or community hall. If we work indoors, we use special protective floor coverings and ensure there is plenty of ventilation to keep the air fresh.

What is the ideal group size for this program?

We recommend a minimum of 5-6 people to get a good atmosphere going, but we can accommodate very large groups by bringing in additional backup artists. This ensures that every participant gets the one-on-one attention they deserve. For groups with complex needs, we suggest a lower artist-to-participant ratio to keep things calm and supportive.

What materials are included in the price?

We've got you covered! All professional spray paint, a wide range of colours, caps/nozzles, gloves, masks, and protective ponchos are included. We can paint on a large communal plastic wall (great for teamwork) or provide individual canvases that participants can take home as a souvenir of their creative achievement in Artigas. You just need to bring the enthusiasm!

Are your artists trained to work with special needs?

While we are artists, not medical professionals, our team is highly experienced in working with diverse groups. We are patient, encouraging, and adaptable. We focus on 'possibility' rather than 'disability'. If there are specific triggers or physical requirements we should be aware of, just let us know during the booking process so we can tailor our approach.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your special needs program in Artigas? Because it's more than just painting—it's a transformative experience that builds skill and joy! 🎨

Sensory-rich experience: The sound of the can, the texture of the paint, and the vibrant colours provide incredible visual and tactile stimulation. 🌈
Fine motor skill development: Controlling the spray nozzle is a fun way to practice hand-eye coordination and grip strength. 💪
Zero-pressure environment: There are no 'mistakes' in street art—every drip and smudge is part of the masterpiece! 🎤
Boosted self-esteem: Seeing a large-scale piece of art that you helped create provides a massive sense of accomplishment. 🏆
Fully customisable: We adapt our teaching style to suit every individual, from non-verbal participants to those with high-support needs. ✨

Looking for something different? We also offer sessions for schools, festivals, kids parties, and even 3D street art for that extra 'wow' factor!

Step by step

Initial consultation: Reach out to us to share your group's specific needs, mobility requirements, and sensory preferences so we can tailor the Artigas experience.
Design your tag: Use our online Tag Creator tool before the day to start thinking about your unique street art identity!
Safety briefing: We start the session by getting everyone geared up in masks and suits, followed by a fun 'how-to' on using the spray cans safely.
Learning the basics: Our artists demonstrate simple techniques like 'fading', 'outlining', and 'filling' on a practice surface.
Concept creation: Participants collaborate on a theme or work on their individual canvases, sketching out their ideas with chalk first.
The spray session: This is the fun part! Everyone gets to unleash their creativity, layering colours and making their mark on the wall.
Final touches: Our artists help add those professional 'pops' and highlights to make the artwork really stand out.
Photo op & cleanup: We take group photos with the masterpiece before handling all the cleanup, leaving the site exactly as we found it.

Good to know

We've thought of everything so you don't have to! Our sessions generally last 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on what works best for your group's energy levels. We provide every single thing needed: premium low-pressure spray cans (easier to control), protective gear, and all the canvases or plastic walls. Safety is our top priority, and we always ensure our locations are accessible for wheelchairs and those with limited mobility. Plus, for your peace of mind, we have backup artists ready to go, so your event in Artigas will never be cancelled. 🛡️

Creative collaboration during a graffiti company outing

Local culture

Artigas is a city known for its rugged beauty and famous amethysts, and we think the local art scene should be just as vibrant! While the city is celebrated for its dazzling Carnival and border-town energy, we're bringing a new kind of creative spark to the streets. We don't just stay in Artigas; we also host incredible sessions in Mercedes, Montevideo, Salto, and Paysandu, bringing the joy of graffiti to every corner of Uruguay.

Fun Fact: Artigas is the only Uruguayan city that shares a border with both Brazil and Argentina nearby—a true cultural crossroads! This mix of influences makes it the perfect place to explore the universal language of street art. 🎨

Pricing

Every group is unique, which is why we don't believe in 'one size fits all' pricing. Our rates depend on your group size, the duration of the workshop, and the specific materials required. Best of all? No upfront payment is required—you only pay after the workshop is finished and you're 100% happy with the experience! 🔥
