Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely! You don't need to be Banksy to have a blast. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques like shading and highlights. Most of our guests have never held a spray can before, and they are always amazed at the masterpiece they walk away with by the end of the session.🎨

How long does the graffiti workshop last?

Standard workshops usually run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice different nozzle techniques, and complete a final artwork without feeling rushed. If you're on a tight holiday schedule, we can often adjust the pace to suit your group's needs while ensuring you still get the full creative experience.⏱️

What is included in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need! This includes a wide range of professional-grade spray cans in every colour of the rainbow, high-quality caps (nozzles), protective gloves, and masks. We also provide the canvas or surface you'll be painting on. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm and some comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on!🧤

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and protective gloves to all participants. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces to ensure proper airflow. Additionally, our instructors are experienced professionals who provide clear safety briefings before anyone touches a spray can. We make sure the environment is controlled, clean, and completely safe for all ages.🛡️

What should I wear to the workshop?

While we provide protective gear, we highly recommend wearing 'painting clothes'—items you wouldn't mind getting a few permanent splashes of colour on. Even with masks and gloves, fine paint mist can sometimes settle on shoes or trousers. Think old trainers and comfortable jeans rather than your holiday best! We want you to focus on your art, not your outfit.👟

What happens if it rains on the day?

Tacna is known for its sunny climate, but if the weather doesn't play ball, we've got you covered. We usually have access to sheltered outdoor areas or indoor spaces with high-end ventilation. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never cancel. We'll make sure your creative session happens regardless of the Peruvian sky!🌦️

Do I need to pay upfront to secure a booking?

No, we believe in a stress-free booking process. You don't have to pay a penny upfront. You can book your slot, and the payment is handled after the workshop is complete. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any money changes hands. It’s all part of our commitment to making your Tacna trip as smooth as possible.💳

Local culture

Tacna sits at a fascinating cultural crossroads near the border, and its street art reflects this unique identity. From murals depicting historical struggles to modern abstract pieces found near the vibrant local markets, the city is a hidden gem for urban art lovers. Our workshop takes place in local creative spaces that breathe the authentic atmosphere of Southern Peru.
