Is the graffiti workshop safe for teenagers?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority for youth projects in Quito. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to ensure no one gets paint on their clothes or inhales fumes. Our professional instructors are experts at managing groups and provide a thorough safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-pressure paint which is much easier for beginners and younger participants to control safely.

How long does a typical youth project workshop last?

Typically, our youth workshops in Quito last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives the group enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice their 'tags' on trial walls, and then collaborate on a final masterpiece. We can adjust the duration based on your specific youth project needs or school schedule, ensuring every participant feels they’ve had enough time to truly express their creativity.

What materials do we need to provide?

We provide everything! Your group just needs to show up in clothes they don't mind getting a bit dusty. We supply the high-quality spray paint, various nozzle sizes (caps), protective gear, and the 'canvas'—whether that's a mobile wall, a plastic foil setup, or a permanent mural space. We even bring the inspiration and music to keep the creative energy high throughout the session.

What is the minimum or maximum group size?

Our workshops are very flexible. We can host small groups of 10 or large-scale community youth events with 100+ participants. For larger groups, we simply bring in more of our professional artist-mentors to ensure everyone gets individual attention and guidance. Quito projects often work best with groups of 15-20 per instructor to keep the experience personal and engaging.

Do the kids need prior artistic experience?

No way! For the vast majority of our youth project participants in Ecuador, this is their very first time holding a spray can. Our artists are fantastic teachers who break down the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex designs. You'll be amazed at the professional-looking mural the group can produce by the end.

Is there an educational aspect to the workshop?

We take the 'project' part seriously. While we focus on fun, we also incorporate lessons on teamwork, spatial awareness, and the history of street art as a form of social expression. In the context of Quito's vibrant culture, we encourage young people to think about the messages they want to share with their community, making it a powerful tool for personal and social development.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti project for your youth group in Quito? It’s more than just painting on walls—it’s about empowerment and community building. In a city as artistic as ours, giving young people the tools to create is a game-changer. Here is why our workshops stand out:

Boosts Confidence: Watching a blank wall transform into a masterpiece gives participants a massive sense of achievement. 🏆
Teamwork in Action: Creating a large-scale mural requires communication, planning, and supporting one another.
Safe & Legal: We provide a structured environment where youth can learn the art form without the risks of "wild" painting.
Professional Mentors: Our artists aren't just talented; they are experienced mentors who know how to engage and inspire young people. 🔥
Stress Relief: There is something incredibly therapeutic and relaxing about the flow of spray painting!
Digital Tools: Use our Tag Creator to design ideas before the workshop even starts!

Step by step

The warm-up: Every project starts with a professional intro. We meet the group, discuss the history of street art in Quito, and go over the essential safety rules.
Sketching the vision: Before we touch the cans, we grab markers and paper. We help the youth brainstorm themes and sketch out their ideas for the big mural.
Nozzle knowledge: We teach the technical side—explaining how different 'caps' create different lines, from skinny outlines to fat fills.
Practice runs: Participants get their first taste of the paint on a practice wall, learning how to control pressure, distance, and hand speed.
Outline and fill: The main event begins! The group starts laying down the foundation of their mural, working together to fill in large areas of colour.
The 'cut-back': Our artists show the youth how to sharpen their lines and add highlights to make their artwork pop and look professional.
Adding the detail: This is where the magic happens—adding those final character details, shadows, and flares that bring the piece to life.
The grand reveal: We step back as a group to admire the finished work. It’s a huge confidence booster and a perfect photo opportunity!

Good to know

Duration: Standard sessions are 2-3 hours, but we can customise day-long intensives for bigger projects.
Group Sizes: We cater for everything from small groups of 10 to large events for 100+ participants.
Everything's Included: Premium spray paint, protective suits, gloves, masks, and the painting surfaces.
Safety First: We use high-grade protective gear and professional instructors to ensure a 100% safe environment. 🛡️
Location: We are mobile! We can come to your youth centre, school, or a designated outdoor space in Quito.

Local culture

Quito is a city where tradition meets a booming modern street art scene. From the historic walls of the colonial centre to the radical murals in the Floresta district, the city serves as a massive open-air museum. Our workshops tap into this local energy, showing young Quiteños how they can contribute to their city's visual story in a respectful and artistic way. We celebrate the unique "Quiteño" spirit, often incorporating local themes and vibrant Andean colours into our workshop designs.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Quito has some of the highest altitude street art in the world? Painting at 2,850 metres above sea level gives our artists—and our participants—a perspective that's literally above the rest! 🏔️

Pricing

We believe every youth project is unique, which is why we offer flexible options to fit your budget and goals. Prices depend on your group size, the length of the session, and the specific setup required for your location in Quito. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay once the workshop is complete and everyone is happy! ✨
