Do I need to be artistic to join the festival workshop?

You do not need any previous drawing or spray painting skills to enjoy our festival workshop in Merida. Our expert artists guide you through every single step, from holding the can to creating complex shapes. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before they arrive, yet they leave with a professional looking piece of art. It is all about having fun and expressing yourself in a relaxed environment!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you do not breathe in paint fumes, along with protective suits and gloves to keep your clothes clean. Our spray paints are water based or low solvent whenever possible to ensure a comfortable experience. Because we host these outdoors in the beautiful Merida air, there is always plenty of natural ventilation.

What should I wear to the street art festival?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and shoes that you do not mind getting a tiny bit of paint on, just in case. While we provide full body protective suits and gloves, street art can sometimes be a messy business! Since Merida can get quite warm during the day, breathable fabrics are your best bet. We handle all the heavy equipment, so you just need to bring your enthusiasm.

Is this activity suitable for children?

Our festival workshops are designed for everyone! We usually suggest a minimum age of 6 years old so that children have the hand strength to press the spray nozzles. For younger kids, we often have special water based markers or stencils. It is a fantastic family activity where kids and parents can collaborate on a large scale mural together or work on their own individual canvases.

What happens if it rains on the day of the festival?

Don't worry about the weather! If we encounter a tropical shower in Merida, we have several options. We can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or use one of our pop up industrial tents to keep everyone dry. If the weather is truly extreme, we offer flexible rescheduling or we can move the session to a suitable indoor venue. Your creative experience will happen, rain or shine.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard street art festival workshop session usually lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands on painting time. If you are part of a larger festival activation, we can run shorter 'taster' sessions throughout the day or one long continuous mural project. We can tailor the timing to suit your schedule.

Do I need to pay in advance?

We believe in a stress free booking process for our Merida events. You do not need to make any upfront payments to secure your spot. We trust our clients and prefer that you pay after the workshop is completed and you are 100 percent satisfied with the experience. This keeps things simple for you and ensures we are always motivated to deliver the best festival experience possible.

Can you host a workshop at my specific location in Merida?

Absolutely! We can bring the street art festival vibes directly to your chosen location in Merida, whether that is a hotel courtyard, a school playground, or a corporate car park. As long as we have a bit of outdoor space and permission to be there, we can set up our mobile graffiti walls and get the party started. We bring everything needed to protect the surroundings.

Local culture

Merida is a city where ancient Mayan history meets modern colonial charm, and the contemporary street art scene is the vibrant glue that holds it all together. From the iconic colourful chairs of Santa Lucia to the hidden murals in the Santiago neighbourhood, Merida is a canvas waiting to be explored. Our festival workshops tap into this local 'Yucateco' pride, often incorporating local motifs and bold, sun drenched colours into our designs. 🎨

Fun Fact: While Merida is famous for its 'White City' limestone buildings, the local street art scene is one of the fastest growing in Mexico, with many local artists gaining international recognition for blending traditional indigenous patterns with modern stencil graffiti!

Participating in a workshop here means you are becoming part of a community that celebrates public expression. We often take inspiration from the lush tropical plants and the golden light that hits the stone walls at sunset, ensuring your street art experience feels authentically Meridan. ✨

Pricing

We believe every street art festival should be as unique as the artists participating. Because we tailor every session to your specific needs, the final cost varies. Prices depend on group size, the amount of materials used, and the specific setup at your Merida location.
