Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our Mar del Plata workshops are designed for everyone, from people who can't draw a straight line to seasoned hobbyists. Our professional artists break down the process into easy, manageable steps. You'll start with basic lines and shapes on practice surfaces before moving on to your main piece. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the vibrant artwork you've created with just a few cans of spray paint.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little dusty or stained. While we provide high-quality protective ponchos and gloves, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto sleeves and shoes! Avoid your favourite designer gear and opt for old trainers and casual wear. This way, you can focus entirely on your creativity without worrying about a stray drop of 'Mar del Plata Blue' on your outfit.

Is the workshop safe for tourists?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including gloves and masks if requested. We use high-quality spray paints and conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces to ensure everyone breathes easy. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, covering everything from proper nozzle control to maintaining a safe distance from other participants while painting.

How long does the experience last?

Our standard graffiti workshop for tourists usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us ample time for a brief history of the local street art scene, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice time, and the creation of your final masterpiece. We find this is the perfect duration to stay energised and inspired without feeling rushed, leaving you plenty of time to enjoy the beaches later!

What happens if it rains on the day?

Mar del Plata's weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. In the event of heavy rain, we have access to sheltered areas or indoor spaces where we can still spray safely. If the weather is truly uncooperative, we can reschedule your session at no extra cost or arrange for an alternative creative activity. We have backup artists available to ensure your holiday plans stay on track regardless of the clouds.

Can I pay after the workshop?

Yes, it's actually encouraged! Unlike many other tours, you don't pay anything upfront. We want you to be 100% satisfied with the experience before we settle up. After you've finished your masterpiece and had a fantastic time with our crew, you can pay on-site. This keeps things flexible for your travel budget and ensures we are always motivated to give you the most fun and professional experience possible.

Is the workshop location flexible?

While we usually have set locations known for their cool vibes and legal walls, we can often bring the workshop to you if you are travelling with a large group or staying at a specific venue with outdoor space. For individual tourists, we recommend joining us at our curated street art spots to get the most authentic Mar del Plata experience.

Local culture

Mar del Plata, or 'MDQ' as the locals call it, is a city of contrasts—where classic stone chalets meet edgy urban murals. The city has a burgeoning street art scene, with local artists reclaiming public spaces to tell stories of the sea, the port, and the local identity. Our workshops take place in areas where the salty sea breeze meets the smell of fresh paint, giving you an authentic taste of 'La Feliz'. 🌊

Fun Fact: Mar del Plata is home to some of the largest murals in Argentina, with some artworks covering entire apartment blocks near the harbour, celebrating the city's fishing heritage!

After your workshop, you're perfectly positioned to explore the nearby 'Paseo de las Canteras' or grab some of the world-famous local churros. We love connecting tourists with the real heartbeat of this Atlantic gem. 🎨

Pricing

Affordable Art Experiences in MDQ

Our workshop prices typically range from $15,000 to $35,000 ARS per person.

Prices vary based on the group size, the duration of the session, and whether we are working on a shared wall or individual canvases. We believe in transparency and value—and remember, you only pay once the workshop is finished! 🏆
