Do I need any previous art experience to participate?

No artistic skill is required at all! Our workshops during the Oruro street art festival are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, from how to hold a spray can to layering colours. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you can create something impressive under our expert guidance. It’s all about having fun and expressing yourself in a relaxed environment.

What equipment is provided in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a complete street art experience. This includes high-quality spray paint in a variety of vibrant colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. Depending on the workshop setup, we also provide canvases or designated wall space. All you need to bring is your energy and some comfortable shoes!

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

While we provide protective gear like overalls and gloves, we always recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on. Spray paint is permanent and can occasionally find its way onto shoes or sleeves despite our best efforts. Think 'festive but practical' clothes and definitely wear closed-toe shoes rather than sandals for better stability and safety while painting.

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary PPE, including FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you aren't inhaling fumes. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We also ensure workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas, making the experience safe and enjoyable for everyone, including children.

Are these workshops suitable for children?

Absolutely! Our festival workshops are fantastic for kids and teenagers. Street art is a brilliant way for younger people to channel their creativity in a large-scale, physical way. We usually recommend a minimum age of around 6 or 8, depending on the specific session, to ensure they can handle the spray cans comfortably. It’s a guaranteed hit for a family day out in Oruro!

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard festival workshop sessions usually last between 1.5 and 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety demo, a practice session on a 'trial wall', and then the creation of your final masterpiece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' where you have enough time to get creative without getting too tired from standing and spraying!

How do I pay and what is the cancellation policy?

We offer total flexibility. You can pay via bank transfer or online payment after the workshop is completed. We don't require upfront payments for festival bookings, as we want you to be 100% satisfied with the experience first. If your plans change, just let us know in advance. We believe in a hassle-free booking process that puts your enjoyment first!

Local culture

Oruro isn't just a city; it's the folklore capital of Bolivia! While most people know it for the Diablada and the rhythmic beating of drums during Carnival, there is a growing community of urban artists inspired by these ancient traditions. We love blending the mask-making heritage of the city with modern graffiti techniques. Imagine spraying a neon 'Supay' (devil) with a contemporary hip-hop twist!

Fun Fact: Did you know that the Carnival of Oruro is recognised by UNESCO as a 'Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity'? That same passion for storytelling and visual spectacle is exactly what we bring to our street art sessions. 🎨

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as unique as your art! Because every festival setup is different, prices depend on your group size, the amount of paint required, and the duration of the session. We believe in transparent, fair pricing with no hidden surprises.

No upfront payment: You only pay after the workshop is finished and you're happy with the results!
