Do I need any prior art experience to join the workshop?

Not at all! Our Belo Horizonte workshop is designed for everyone, from absolute beginners to seasoned creators. Most of our tourist guests haven't touched a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you can create something you’re proud of with just a little expert guidance.

What should I wear for the graffiti session?

We provide all the necessary safety equipment, including protective overalls, gloves, and high-quality respiratory masks. While our gear covers most of your outfit, we still recommend wearing comfortable clothes and old trainers that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. Graffiti can be a bit messy, and it’s always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your favourite shoes!

Where exactly in Belo Horizonte does the workshop take place?

Belo Horizonte has some fantastic legal spots and dedicated studio spaces where we can paint safely. Depending on your group size and the weather, we might head to a famous 'beco' (alleyway) known for street art or use a private mural wall. We make sure you get an authentic experience while staying on the right side of the law, ensuring a stress-free and fun creative session.

How long does the experience last?

A standard workshop for tourists usually lasts between 2 and 2.5 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a safety briefing, a crash course in spray can control, some practice time, and then the main event—working on your actual piece of art. We never want you to feel rushed, as the goal is for you to relax and enjoy the creative flow.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

The safety of our guests is our absolute priority. We only use professional-grade spray paint and provide certified FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you aren't inhaling any fumes. Our instructors are experienced pros who will teach you how to handle the cans correctly to avoid any accidents. We also ensure that the painting area is well-ventilated, whether we are outdoors or in a large studio.

Can kids join the workshop too?

Yes, children are more than welcome! It’s a fantastic family activity. We recommend a minimum age of around 8 to 10 years old, as they need to have enough hand strength to press the spray nozzle. We have smaller gloves and protective gear for children, and our artists are great at keeping the younger ones engaged and inspired throughout the entire session.

Local culture

Belo Horizonte, or 'BH' as the locals affectionately call it, is a hidden gem for street art lovers. While cities like São Paulo often grab the headlines, the 'City of Beautiful Horizons' has developed its own distinctive style that blends traditional Mineiro culture with modern urban grit. The city is home to the famous CURA (Circuito Urbano de Arte), which has turned massive downtown buildings into one of the largest open-air galleries in the world. Our workshops tap into this local pride, often taking place near legendary spots where the local 'pichação' and graffiti scenes intersect. You'll feel the pulse of the city as you paint, experiencing the warmth and hospitality that people from Minas Gerais are famous for. It's not just an art class; it's an invitation into the heart of BH's creative community.

Individual & Small Groups: R$120 - R$280 per person
