Is the spray paint safe for students and schoolchildren?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our artists lead with a comprehensive safety briefing, and we only use low-pressure spray cans which are easier for students to control. We also ensure the workspace is well-ventilated or outdoors, keeping the environment healthy while the creativity flows. You can trust our crew to keep everyone safe while they have a blast.

Do the students need any prior art experience?

Absolutely! Our workshops are designed to be inclusive for all skill levels. Most students have never touched a spray can before, and that is exactly why we are here. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps. From learning how to hold the can to creating complex shapes, we guide them every step of the way. Everyone leaves with something they are proud of!

How long does a typical school workshop last?

A standard school workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, safety demo, practice sessions, and the creation of the final masterpiece. If you have a specific school schedule to stick to, just let us know! We are experts at timing our sessions to fit perfectly within your school day or after-school programme.

Where in Montevideo do the workshops take place?

We are super flexible! Whether you want to host the workshop on your school grounds (like a playground or gym) or visit one of our dedicated street art spots in Montevideo, we can make it happen. If we do it at your school, we take care of all the protective flooring and wall coverings to ensure the property stays exactly as it was—except for the beautiful art on the canvases!

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything! Your booking includes all the professional spray paint, caps, protective clothing (suits, masks, and gloves), and the surfaces to paint on (usually large wooden panels or canvases). We even bring the inspiration! The only thing the school needs to provide is a group of excited students and a suitable space if we are coming to you. It is a total stress-free package for teachers.

What are the educational benefits of a graffiti workshop?

Graffiti is a fantastic tool for team building and boosting self-esteem. It encourages students to express themselves in a non-traditional way and work together on large-scale projects. It also teaches them about the history of street art and the difference between vandalism and commissioned art. It’s a physical, engaging, and highly rewarding way to spend a morning or afternoon outside the traditional classroom setting.

How much does a workshop for a large school group cost?

We understand that school budgets and group sizes vary wildly! Because of this, we don't have a one-size-fits-all price. Our costs depend on the number of students, the duration of the workshop, and the amount of materials needed. Simply reach out for a quick quote, and we’ll give you a fair, transparent price with no hidden fees and no upfront payment required.

Can control basics: Our artists demonstrate different nozzle types and how distance and pressure affect the lines on the wall. 🎨
Sketches & concepts: Students grab paper and markers to plan their "tag" or a collective group mural design based on a school theme.
First lines: Time to spray! Students head to the practice wall to get a feel for the paint and build their confidence.
Filling & fading: We teach the secrets of "fills" and "gradients" to make the artwork pop with vibrant colours. 🔥
The outline: The most satisfying part! Adding the sharp outlines that bring the whole piece of art together.
Final touches: Students add highlights and details to make their work unique and professional-looking.
The big reveal: We finish with a group photo and a reflection on what everyone has created together. 🏆

Local culture

Montevideo is a city that breathes art, from the historic charm of Ciudad Vieja to the funky vibes of Barrio Sur. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, showing students how the city's walls tell stories. Did you know that Montevideo is famous for its "Candombe" murals that celebrate the local Afro-Uruguayan heritage? We love incorporating these local cultural elements into our sessions, helping students feel a deeper connection to their city’s visual identity.

Fun Fact: Street art is so respected in Montevideo that many artists are commissioned by the city to revitalise old neighbourhoods, turning grey streets into open-air galleries! 🇺🇾

In our school sessions, we often discuss famous local spots like the murals near the Rambla, inspiring the next generation of Uruguayan talent to dream big and paint even bigger.
