Do I need to be artistic or have experience to join?

You do not need any previous drawing skills to enjoy our workshop in Merida. Our professional artists are expert teachers who will show you everything from how to hold the spray can to creating shadows and highlights. Most of our guests have never touched spray paint before, and they are always amazed at the high quality artwork they produce by the end of the session. We focus on fun and creativity over technical perfection.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you do not mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide high quality protective ponchos and gloves, spray paint can be unpredictable in the breeze. Since Merida can get quite warm, light and breathable fabrics are best. Closed toe shoes are also a clever choice for safety while you are moving around the workspace and handling the spray cans.

How long does the graffiti session actually last?

Standard tourist workshops usually last between 90 minutes and 2 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, and for you to complete your masterpiece. If you are part of a larger group or have requested a more complex mural project, the session can be extended to 3 hours. We always ensure the pace feels relaxed and enjoyable rather than rushed.

Is the spray paint safe to use for everyone?

The safety of our guests is our absolute priority. We use low pressure spray cans that are easier to control and provide high quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you are not breathing in fumes. We also supply gloves and protective suits. All sessions are led by experienced professionals who monitor the group at all times. We choose well ventilated or outdoor locations to ensure a fresh and safe environment for everyone.

Can children participate in the Merida workshop?

Yes, children are more than welcome to join the fun! We generally recommend a minimum age of 6 or 7 years old so they have the hand strength to press the spray nozzle. It is a fantastic family activity that keeps kids engaged and allows them to express their energy in a creative way. We have smaller gloves available and our artists are great at helping younger visitors stay safe and inspired.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

Rain is rare in Merida during the dry season, but we always have a plan. We work with various locations that offer covered areas or indoor spaces suitable for spray painting. Our backup artist system also ensures that your booking is protected. If the weather is truly extreme, we will coordinate with you to adjust the timing so your creative experience is not dampened by a tropical downpour.

Are all materials included in the workshop price?

When you book with Graffitifun, everything is included in the price. You will get access to a wide range of professional spray paint colours, caps for different line widths, protective gear like masks and gloves, and the surface you will be painting on. Whether we are working on a shared wall or individual canvases, you do not need to bring a single thing except your enthusiasm and perhaps a camera to capture the memories!

Local culture

Merida is a city of incredible contrasts where ancient traditions meet contemporary style. In recent years, the street art scene in the "White City" has exploded, with local murals telling stories of Mayan heritage, tropical nature, and modern Mexican identity. Walking through neighbourhoods like Santiago or Santa Ana, you will see how creative energy is transforming plain walls into breathtaking masterpieces. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, giving you a deeper connection to the city than any museum tour could offer. 🎨

Fun fact: Merida is known as "La Ciudad Blanca" (The White City), but our goal is to add every colour of the rainbow to that reputation! The local street art often incorporates traditional Mayan patterns, making it some of the most unique graffiti in the world.

Pricing

We believe every creative journey is unique, which is why our pricing is flexible. Prices depend on your group size, the length of the session, and the specific setup you would like. Whether you want a private 1-on-1 session or a big group bash, we have got you covered! ✨

No upfront payment is required: You can book with confidence and pay after the workshop is complete.
