Do I need to be good at drawing to join the workshop?

No prior artistic experience is needed at all! Our workshops in Makassar are designed specifically for beginners and curious tourists. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering layering techniques. Most of our guests have never touched a spray can before they arrive, and they all leave with a piece of art they are proud of. It's all about having fun and being creative!

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little bit dirty. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, shoe covers, and gloves, spray paint can sometimes find its way onto unexpected spots. It’s best to leave your favourite designer gear at the hotel and opt for something practical. Makassar's weather can be warm, so light, breathable fabrics are your best bet for a comfortable creative session.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide all necessary protective equipment, including FFP3 masks to filter out fumes, gloves, and protective suits. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces in Makassar. Our instructors are professional artists who will brief you on all safety protocols before we start. We use high-quality spray paint brands that comply with safety standards, ensuring a worry-free experience for everyone involved.

How long does the workshop experience last?

Our standard tourist graffiti workshops in Makassar typically last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, some practice on plastic film, and then creating your final masterpiece on a professional canvas. If you have a larger group or want a more intensive deep-dive into street art culture, we can certainly extend the duration to suit your needs.

Can I take my artwork home after the session?

Absolutely! You get to take your unique creation home with you. We use high-quality canvases for the final piece of the workshop, which are easy to transport. Once the paint is dry (which happens quite quickly in the Makassar sun), we can help you pack it up. It makes for the ultimate, one-of-a-kind souvenir from your Indonesian holiday—much better than a generic fridge magnet from a gift shop!

Do I have to pay in advance for the booking?

We are very flexible! You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your workshop in Makassar. We believe in our service and want you to feel confident in your booking. You can settle the payment after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods to make it as easy as possible for you to focus on the art.

What happens if it rains or the artist is sick?

While we love sunshine, we have backup plans for the tropical weather in Makassar. If it rains, we move the workshop to a covered or indoor area where we can still spray safely and comfortably. Additionally, we always have backup artists on standby. This means that even if your assigned instructor falls ill, your workshop will still go ahead as planned. We guarantee your creative session won't be cancelled!

Local culture

Makassar is a city that breathes history and modern energy simultaneously. Known for its seafaring heritage and incredible culinary scene (you haven't lived until you've tried Coto Makassar!), the city is also home to a growing and passionate street art community. The walls of Makassar are increasingly becoming canvases that tell stories of local pride, nautical legends, and contemporary Indonesian life.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Makassar's urban art scene is heavily influenced by the city's legendary Phinisi schooners? You'll often see traditional maritime motifs blended with ultra-modern graffiti styles!

Participating in our workshop isn't just about painting; it's about connecting with the local "Maka-z-art" spirit. We often host our sessions in areas that reflect the city's urban transformation, giving you a front-row seat to the creative pulse of Sulawesi. It’s a chance to see a side of Makassar that most tourists completely miss. ✨
