Is the graffiti workshop safe for individuals with sensory sensitivities?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority in Quito. We use water-based, low-odour spray paint whenever possible and provide all necessary protective gear, including gloves and masks. Our workshops are held in spacious, well-ventilated areas or outdoor spots where we can maintain a safe and comfortable environment. Our instructors are trained to manage group dynamics and ensure every participant feels secure and supported throughout the creative process.

How do you adapt the session for different ability levels?

Our workshops are fully customisable. We can adjust the music volume, provide quieter spaces, and use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to handle. Before the session, we’ll chat with you to understand the specific needs of your group. Whether it’s physical mobility considerations or neurodiverse requirements, we tailor the rhythm and tools of the day to make sure everyone can participate at their own comfortable pace.

Do participants need to have any artistic talent or experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We focus on the 'fun' in Graffitifun. Our artists will guide everyone through the basics, from holding the can to making simple shapes. It’s all about the experience of colour and motion, not about being a perfect artist. Everyone walks away with a sense of pride in what they’ve created, regardless of their previous experience with art.

What is the ideal group size for a special needs programme?

To give everyone the attention they deserve, we recommend small to medium-sized groups. However, we have a large team of backup artists in Quito, so we can cater to larger groups by bringing in extra instructors to ensure a high staff-to-participant ratio. This ensures that every individual gets hands-on help and encouragement. Just let us know your numbers, and we will work out the perfect staffing plan for you!

What is your booking and cancellation policy for Quito workshops?

We understand that plans can change, especially with specialized care groups. That’s why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy. You don't need to worry about upfront payments. If you need to reschedule or adjust your booking, just get in touch with us as soon as possible. We aim to be as flexible as possible to make the booking process stress-free for carers and coordinators.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Standard workshops usually last between 1.5 and 2 hours, which we find is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining engagement without causing fatigue. However, we can shorten or lengthen the session based on the energy levels and needs of your specific group. We can also include regular breaks throughout the session to ensure everyone stays refreshed and happy while they work on their masterpieces.

Can we take our artwork home after the workshop?

While we often work on large collective murals (which are great for teamwork!), we can also provide individual canvases. This allows each participant to have a physical piece of art to take home or display in their facility. Creating something tangible provides a massive boost to self-esteem and serves as a wonderful memory of their day as a Quito street artist. Each workshop is bespoke to your goals!

The experience

Our special needs programmes aren't just about painting; they're about breaking barriers and celebrating individuality. Here is why our workshops are a hit in Quito:

Sensory-rich experience: The tactile feel of the cans, the visual pop of the colours, and the outdoor fresh air create a wonderful sensory journey. 🌈
Confidence building: There is no "right or wrong" in graffiti, which helps participants feel successful and brave in their choices.
Physical engagement: Spraying helps with fine motor skills and coordination in a way that feels like play, not therapy. 💪
Social connection: Collaborative murals encourage communication and teamwork among participants and carers.
Expert, caring artists: Our team isn't just skilled with a can; they are patient, encouraging, and experienced in adapted teaching.
Total flexibility: We adapt everything—from the location to the tools—to fit the specific needs of your group.

Step by step

Initial chat: We start by discussing your group's specific requirements, including mobility, sensory needs, and interests.
Creative prep: Our professional artists design a simplified concept or stencil that matches the group's abilities.
Safety briefing: We kit everyone out in protective gear and explain how to use the equipment safely and comfortably.
First lines: Participants get a feel for the spray cans by practicing simple movements on a practice surface or canvas.
Adding colour: Everyone joins in to fill the design with vibrant colours, choosing their favourite shades to make the art pop.
Refining details: Our artists help add the finishing touches, like outlines or highlights, to make the artwork look professional.
The big reveal: We take a moment to admire the finished work as a group—this is always the proudest moment of the day!
Photo session: We capture plenty of photos of the creators with their work so the memories can last a lifetime.

Local culture

Quito is a city that breathes art, from the golden altars of its colonial churches to the massive murals of the Floresta neighbourhood. The street art scene here is a mix of indigenous heritage and modern urban flair, making it an inspiring place for a creative workshop. We love tapping into this local energy to inspire our participants! 🏔️

Fun Fact: Did you know that Quito was the first city ever to be named a UNESCO World Heritage site? Its walls have been telling stories for centuries, and now it's your turn to add to that history!

Our workshops often take inspiration from the bright colours found in local Ecuadorian textiles and the dramatic landscapes surrounding the Pichincha volcano. We make sure our sessions feel connected to the spirit of Quito, ensuring a truly local and memorable experience for everyone involved.
