- Nearby Municipalities: For specific projects or larger-scale events, we can arrange workshops in some of the municipalities surrounding Merida, such as Progreso or Izamal, depending on group size and requirements. These locations offer a different ambience and can be combined with other local experiences.

Reaching your Merida workshop
Merida is well connected for both local and international visitors. The city does not have a railway station for passenger services, so most arrivals are by road or air.
For those arriving by air, Manuel Crescencio Rejón International Airport (MID) is conveniently located just southwest of the city centre. From there, taxis and ride-sharing services are readily available to transport groups to their workshop location.
Merida is a hub for the Yucatan Peninsula, with major roads like the Mérida-Cancún highway (Mexico 180) and federal highway 261 providing access from other parts of the region. Ample parking is usually available at our workshop venues, particularly those located outside the immediate historic centre. Coaches can also access most workshop locations with prior arrangement, ensuring smooth arrival and departure for larger groups.
Local culture
Merida's relationship with street art
Merida's art scene, while deeply rooted in its heritage, is also embracing contemporary forms. While it may not be globally renowned as a 'graffiti city' in the same vein as some larger metropolises, there is a growing appreciation for urban art and murals. You will find public art pieces, sometimes commissioned, that reflect local culture, history, and modern sensibilities in various parts of the city. These are often seen in specific cultural corridors or in areas undergoing urban renewal.
The city's strong artistic community, with numerous galleries and cultural centres, provides a fertile ground for diverse artistic expressions, including street art. Our workshops contribute to this evolving landscape, offering a platform for individuals and groups to engage directly with this dynamic art form within the unique cultural context of Merida.
Pricing
Our workshop prices are flexible and depend entirely on your group size, the location, and the specific setup you need. Whether you are planning a small birthday bash or a massive brand activation, we have got you covered. ✨
