Do I need any previous art experience to join the festival workshop?

Absolutely! Most of our festival participants in Mercedes have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down the process into easy, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex filling and fading techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It's all about having fun and expressing yourself!

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes high-quality spray paint in a huge variety of colours, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvas or wall space for your creation. Just bring your enthusiasm and some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a little dusty—we'll handle all the professional gear!

Is the spray paint safe to use for kids and beginners?

Safety is our top priority at every Graffitifun event. we use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary safety equipment, including FFP2 masks and gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas, which is perfect for the breezy riverside setting of Mercedes. Our artists provide thorough safety briefings before anyone shakes a can, ensuring a worry-free environment for creators of all ages.

How long does a typical graffiti workshop session last?

Our festival workshops in Mercedes typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of your final piece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' where you have enough time to get into the flow without getting too tired. If you're looking for a shorter or longer session for a specific event, just let us know!

What should I wear to the graffiti festival?

While we provide protective overalls, we always recommend wearing 'work clothes'—items you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on just in case. Street art is a hands-on, active process! Comfortable trainers are a must as you'll be on your feet moving along the wall. In Mercedes, the sun can be quite bright near the Rio Negro, so bringing a hat and some sunscreen is a clever move.

What is the maximum group size for a workshop?

We are very flexible! Whether you are a solo traveller looking to join a group, a small family, or a massive corporate team, we can accommodate you. For festival settings in Mercedes, we often run rolling workshops where dozens of people can participate throughout the day. For private bookings, we can tailor the experience for groups of 5 to 500. Just drop us a message with your expected numbers.

Do I have to pay in advance to secure my booking?

No upfront payment is required when you book with us! We believe in the quality of our experience and want you to feel confident. You can settle the payment after the workshop is completed. This 'pay-after' policy ensures that our focus remains entirely on providing you with the most fun and creative experience possible in Mercedes. It's all part of our commitment to 100% satisfaction.

Local culture

Mercedes isn't just known for its beautiful waterfront ("la rambla"); it's a city that breathes culture. From the annual jazz festivals to the "33 Orientales" park, there’s an artistic energy here that is truly unique in Uruguay. The local street art scene is growing, blending traditional Uruguayan motifs with modern urban styles. When you join our workshop, you're tapping into that local spirit of 'Cultura y Libertad'.

Fun fact: Mercedes is often called the "City of Roses," but did you know it was the first city to join the revolution for Uruguayan independence? That rebellious spirit lives on today through the bold, expressive world of graffiti! 🌹✊
