Do I need to have any prior drawing or painting experience?

Absolutely none! Our Arequipa graffiti workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional street artists will guide you through every stage, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering complex shading techniques. Most of our guests have never touched a spray can before they arrive, and they always leave with a masterpiece they are proud of. It is all about having fun and expresssing yourself!

Is the workshop safe and what protective gear is provided?

Your safety is our priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable ponchos to keep your clothes clean. We always work in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces in Arequipa. Our professional spray cans are low-pressure, making them easier and safer to control. We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable shoes anyway, just in case you get a bit too enthusiastic with your tags!

How long does the graffiti workshop session last?

The standard public art experience in Arequipa usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a thorough safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, practice time on the 'sketch wall', and finally creating your main artwork. If you have a specific timeframe in mind for a festival or school event, we can easily customise the duration to fit your schedule.

What is the minimum and maximum group size for a booking?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you are a solo traveller looking for a unique Arequipa experience, a small family, or a large corporate group of 100+ people, we can accommodate you. We have a large team of backup artists in Peru to ensure that even large-scale events run smoothly without any hiccups. For very large groups, we simply split into smaller teams to ensure everyone gets personal guidance.

Do I need to pay for the workshop in advance?

Unlike many other tour operators, we do not require any upfront payment to secure your booking in Arequipa. You can book your session, and payment is only handled after the workshop is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the creative experience we provided before any money changes hands. We believe in the quality of our workshops and want you to feel completely confident.

Where exactly in Arequipa do the workshops take place?

The beauty of our Arequipa workshops is that they are fully mobile. We can host the session at one of our partner urban art locations in the city, or we can bring the entire setup to you! If you have a private backyard, a school playground, or a corporate car park, we can transform it into a temporary street art studio. Just let us know your preference when you request a quote.

Is this activity suitable for children and families?

Our workshops are very kid-friendly! We usually recommend a minimum age of 6 or 8 years old so they can comfortably handle the spray cans. It is a fantastic activity for kids' parties or school outings. We use specialized materials that are easier for smaller hands to manage, and our artists are great at keeping the energy high and the environment safe for younger creators.

Filling in: Learn the professional 'fill-in' techniques to add vibrant colour to your piece without leaving drips or gaps.
The outline: This is where the magic happens! We'll show you how to add a sharp 'power line' or outline to make your art pop from the background.
Shading and highlights: Discover how to use 'dusting' and 'highlights' to give your graffiti a 3D effect and professional depth. 🔥
Cutting and details: Use contrasting colours to 'cut' back into your lines, sharpening the edges and adding those final intricate details.

Local culture

Arequipa is famous for its shimmering sillar stone architecture, but look closer at its urban corners and you'll find a growing, vibrant street art scene. From the hidden alleys near the Chili River to the creative hubs in Yanahuara, public art is becoming a powerful voice for the city's youth and creative souls. Our workshops celebrate this local spirit, blending the historic beauty of the 'Cuidad Blanca' with the raw energy of modern aerosol art. 🎨

Fun Arequipa Fact: Did you know that Arequipa’s brilliant white buildings are made from volcanic sillar stone? It provides a unique, textured backdrop that local artists often use as inspiration for the earthy tones found in their murals! 🌋
