How long does a typical graffiti workshop session last?

Most of our summer camp sessions in Merida last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives the campers enough time to learn the basic spray techniques, practice their lettering, and complete a final collaborative masterpiece. We find this timeframe is perfect for maintaining high energy and focus while ensuring every participant walks away feeling like a true street artist. If you have a specific schedule to meet, we can always customise the timing for you.

Is it safe for children to use spray paint?

Absolutely. Safety is our biggest priority, especially when working with younger groups. We provide all participants with high quality protective gear including gloves, sleeves, and specialized masks. Our professional artists are trained to supervise the use of spray cans closely, ensuring a controlled and safe environment where the kids can focus entirely on their creativity without any risks. We also use low odour paints whenever possible to keep things comfortable for everyone involved.

Do the kids need any prior art experience?

Not at all. Our Merida summer camp workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total novices to budding young artists. Our instructors start with the basics, teaching simple lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques like shading and 3D effects. The goal is to build confidence and have a blast, so no previous drawing or painting experience is required to create something truly impressive.

What should the participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend that campers wear older clothes that you do not mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls or ponchos, graffiti can sometimes be a messy business when the creative juices are flowing. Comfortable, closed toe shoes are also a must for safety while moving around the painting area. It is all about being relaxed and ready to dive into the art without worrying about a few stray drips.

Where do the workshops take place in Merida?

Usually, we bring the workshop to your camp location in Merida. We can set up temporary wooden walls or use large cellophane stretches between trees to create a canvas. If your venue does not have a suitable outdoor space, let us know and we can discuss alternative arrangements. We are very flexible and can adapt our setup to fit different environments, ensuring the street art experience works perfectly within your existing summer camp programme.

Can the group work together on a single project?

Yes, we believe that graffiti is a social art form. While kids can work on individual sections or canvases, we often encourage the creation of a large scale mural where the whole group contributes. This teaches teamwork, communication, and collective problem solving. It is incredibly rewarding for the campers to see how their individual styles come together to form one massive, cohesive piece of art that represents their summer camp experience.

What happens if it rains during our scheduled session?

The Caribbean and Yucatecan weather can be unpredictable, but we have got you covered. If it rains, we can often move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or use large pop up tents. If the weather is too severe, our backup artists and flexible scheduling mean we can usually find a workaround. We always keep a close eye on the forecast to ensure the workshop remains a highlight of the week regardless of the clouds.

Local culture

Merida is a city where history meets a booming modern art scene. From the historic murals in the Palacio de Gobierno to the cutting edge street art found in neighborhoods like Santiago and San Sebastian, there is inspiration around every corner. The local light in the Yucatan is legendary, making every colour of paint pop with incredible intensity. We love incorporating local Merida motifs into our workshops, perhaps taking a little inspiration from the local flora or the bold geometric patterns found in ancient Mayan ruins nearby.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Merida was once one of the wealthiest cities in the world due to the henequen boom? Today, that wealth is found in its rich cultural spirit and the incredible street artists who call this city home!
