Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

You don't need any prior experience to join our workshops! Our professional artists guide you through every single step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering complex shading techniques. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before they arrive. We focus on making the process accessible, fun, and rewarding for everyone, regardless of their artistic background. Just bring your enthusiasm and we will handle the rest!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paints and conduct our sessions in well-ventilated outdoor or indoor spaces. Our instructors are trained to ensure everyone uses the equipment safely. If you have specific respiratory concerns, please let us know in advance so we can take extra care of you during the session.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Rivera has a tropical climate, but don't worry! We always have a backup plan. If the weather doesn't play ball for an outdoor session, we can often move to a covered location or reschedule your workshop. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we are very flexible with timing. We make sure that rain never dampens the creative spirit of your Uruguayan adventure.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard tourist workshop in Rivera usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice basic techniques on plastic film or practice walls, and then complete a final masterpiece. We don't like to rush the creative process, so we ensure there is plenty of time for photos and feedback from your instructor.

Can we take photos and videos during the session?

Absolutely! We encourage you to take as many photos and videos as you like. Documenting the progress from a blank wall to a finished piece of art is part of the fun. Our artists are also happy to help you get the perfect 'action shot' while you are painting. Don't forget to tag us when you share your creations on social media!

Do I need to pay in advance?

We believe in the quality of our experience, which is why we don't require upfront payments. You can settle the bill after the workshop is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the fun and the final result before any money changes hands. It's our way of guaranteeing a stress-free and high-quality experience for all our guests visiting Rivera.

Local culture

Rivera is a city like no other. Known for its "International Plaza" where you can stand with one foot in Uruguay and the other in Brazil, the local culture is a vibrant blend called Portuñol. This fusion extends to the streets, where the art scene is growing rapidly. From the rolling hills of the Cerrillada to the bustling city centre, the urban canvas of Rivera reflects the harmony and friendship of this border town. 🎨

Fun Fact: Rivera and its Brazilian twin city, Santana do Livramento, share a border that is completely open—you can cross the street and change countries instantly! This freedom of movement has created one of the most uniquely integrated artistic communities in South America. 🇺🇾🇧🇷
