I've never used a spray can before. Can I still join?

Absolutely! Our Merida street art festival workshops are designed for everyone, regardless of artistic ability. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, from how to hold the spray can to creating clean lines and fills. Most people are surprised at what they can produce in just one session. It is all about the experience, the energy, and having a blast with your friends or colleagues.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to create your masterpiece. This includes high-quality spray paint in a rainbow of colours, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or designated wall space. Just bring your enthusiasm and perhaps a bottle of water to stay hydrated while you work under the Andean sun! No hidden fees or extra prep required.

Do you use eco-friendly paint?

Sustainability is important to us. We primarily use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and produce less 'overspray'. Whenever possible, we opt for water-based or eco-conscious paint brands that are less harmful to the environment. Our team also ensures that all empty cans and materials are recycled or disposed of responsibly after the festival concludes. We believe in leaving the city more beautiful, not more cluttered.

What safety measures do you have in place?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all participants with high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to filter out any paint fumes, as well as protective gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or high-ceilinged spaces within the festival grounds. Our instructors are trained in safety protocols and will supervise the group throughout the entire session to ensure everyone stays safe while having fun.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

Our standard festival workshop sessions typically last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a thorough safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on painting time. If you are looking for a more intensive experience, we can arrange longer sessions. We find this timeframe is the sweet spot for keeping the energy high and the creativity flowing.

Can we book a private session for a large group?

Yes, we do! While we love hosting individuals at our festival booths, we specialise in large-scale group bookings for schools, companies, and private parties. We have a backup pool of artists ready to go, so even if your group size grows at the last minute, we can usually accommodate you. Our 'pay after the workshop' policy applies to groups too, making the booking process stress-free.

What should I wear to the workshop?

While we provide protective overalls, we always recommend wearing comfortable, 'sensible' clothing that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on. Think old trainers and comfortable trousers. Merida's weather can be unpredictable due to the altitude, so bringing a light jacket is also a smart move. Once you're geared up in our suits, you'll look like a professional street artist!

Local culture

Merida, with its colonial charm and the towering Pico Bolívar, provides a dramatic backdrop for street art. The city has a long-standing tradition of muralism, often blending political messages with the raw beauty of the Andean landscape. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, encouraging participants to draw inspiration from the colourful houses of the "Pueblos del Sur" or the mystical myths of the mountains. 🏔️

Fun Fact: Merida is home to the world's highest and longest cable car (the Teleférico de Mérida), and some of the best graffiti spots can be spotted on the rooftops and walls visible as you ascend into the clouds!

In Merida, street art isn't just decoration; it's a conversation. Large-scale murals can be found near the Universidad de los Andes, where student movements have historically used art as a primary form of expression. Our festival experience honours this tradition while adding a fun, modern graffiti twist that everyone can enjoy. 🔥
