Do students need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our Rio de Janeiro university workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional street artists start with the basics, from how to hold the spray can to mastering 'cap' pressure. We guide everyone through the process step-by-step, ensuring that even those who haven't picked up a paintbrush since primary school walk away with a piece of art they're proud of. It's all about expression, not perfection!

What safety measures and gear are provided?

The safety of your students is our top priority. We provide all necessary protective equipment, including high-quality FFP2 masks, gloves, and disposable overalls to protect clothing. We exclusively use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and produce less fumes. Our workshops in Rio are always conducted in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large industrial halls to ensure a safe, breathable environment for all participants.

How long does a typical university graffiti session last?

Standard university workshops usually last between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows for a solid introduction to graffiti history, a technical demonstration, individual practice time, and the creation of a final masterpiece. If you are planning a larger campus festival or a 'well-being week' event, we can also offer 'drop-in' style sessions that run throughout the day to accommodate more students.

Can the workshop take place on our university campus?

We are incredibly flexible! We can host the workshop at various vibrant locations across Rio de Janeiro, or we can bring the entire setup directly to your university campus. We use free-standing mobile graffiti walls, so we don't need to spray on university property. Whether it's a car park, a sports field, or a courtyard, we'll transform the space into a temporary street art studio.

Do we need to pay in advance for the booking?

We believe in total transparency and student satisfaction. That is why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy. You don't need to worry about upfront costs or deposits. Once the session is complete and your students are buzzing with creative energy, we'll handle the administrative side. This makes it much easier for university societies and student unions to manage their budgets without financial risk.

Will the students be able to keep their artwork?

Yes! One of the best things about our Rio workshops is that students can take their work home. We typically have students work on high-quality canvases or sturdy cardboard sheets. These serve as a permanent souvenir of their time in Rio and a unique piece of decor for their halls of residence. For larger scale collaborative murals, we can discuss options for leaving the artwork on campus.

What happens if it rains or an artist is unavailable?

Rio's weather is usually amazing, but we always have a plan B. If the weather turns, we can move the session to a covered outdoor area or an indoor hall with proper ventilation. We also have a dedicated team of backup artists available, so even if an instructor catches a cold, your workshop will still go ahead as planned. Your event's success is guaranteed with Graffitifun.

Local culture

Rio de Janeiro isn't just a city; it's a sprawling, open-air gallery. From the technicolour steps of the Escadaria Selarón to the massive, world-record murals in the Port Zone, Rio breathes creativity. Our workshops are deeply inspired by the "Carioca" style—a blend of tropical vibrancy and bold social commentary. We celebrate the city's unique legal graffiti zones, which have fostered a culture of respect and incredible talent. 🎨

Fun fact: Rio de Janeiro was one of the first major cities in the world to largely decriminalise street art (with the owner's permission), leading to the incredible explosion of murals you see today in areas like Santa Teresa and Lapa!

Pricing

We provide flexible pricing to suit different university budgets and group sizes in Rio. Our rates typically range from R$120 to R$280 per person.

Factors influencing the price include the number of participants, the amount of materials required, and whether you'd like to work on individual canvases or a large-scale communal wall. We offer special rates for student organisations and multiple sessions.

No upfront payment: Relax knowing you only pay after the workshop is successfully delivered!
