Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely not. Our professional artists start with the basics of safety and nozzle control before moving on to sketching and filling. We welcome everyone from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our goal is to ensure you feel confident holding a spray can and leave with a piece of art you are genuinely proud of. Most of our guests have never touched spray paint before!

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and shoes that you do not mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide high quality protective overalls and gloves, spray paint can be unpredictable in the wind. Think 'comfy and casual' so you can focus on your masterpiece without worrying about your designer gear getting a splash of neon pink!

How long does the session usually last?

The standard tourist workshop typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice, and the final creation of your artwork. We move at a relaxed pace so you never feel rushed while you are getting stuck into your creative flow.

Is it safe to use spray paint?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high quality FFP2 masks to protect you from fumes, along with gloves and protective body suits. Our workshops take place in well ventilated outdoor areas or spacious indoor spots. Our instructors are also trained to manage group safety, ensuring everyone keeps a safe distance while spraying their designs.

Do I get to take my artwork home?

In Tijuana, we often use large shared walls for the main practice, but you will also get to create a personal work of art on a high quality canvas or board. This means you have a physical piece of your Mexican street art journey to take home with you, as long as it is dry enough to pack!

Do I need to pay in advance?

We are very flexible with booking. One of the best things about Graffitifun is that you do not need to pay anything upfront. You can book your slot and then pay after the workshop is finished. This takes the stress out of planning your holiday and ensures you are 100% happy with the experience.

What happens if it rains or the artist is sick?

Tijuana weather is usually great, but if it rains, we have backup indoor locations or covered outdoor spots ready to go. We also have a network of backup artists available, so even if an instructor falls ill, your workshop will almost always go ahead as planned. We hate cancellations as much as you do!

Local culture

Tijuana is a city that never stops evolving, and its walls tell that story better than any history book. From the iconic murals along the coastal boardwalk of Playas de Tijuana to the hidden "Pasajes" downtown, the street art here is a mix of social commentary, cultural pride, and pure neon energy. It is a place where traditional Mexican colours meet modern urban grit. 🌵

Fun Fact: Did you know that Tijuana is often called the "Gateway to Latin America"? Its unique position on the border has created a "Third Space" visual culture that you won't find anywhere else in the world!

During your workshop, you might hear the distant sounds of Norteno music or smell the incredible street tacos nearby, making this a truly sensory experience that goes far beyond just painting a wall. 🌮
