Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Our Manta workshops are designed specifically for beginners. You don't need any prior painting or drawing experience to create something amazing. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, from how to hold the spray can to mastering complex layering techniques. We provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment where 'mistakes' are just part of the creative process. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created!

Is the workshop safe and what should I wear?

Safety is our top priority in Manta. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep you and your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paints and conduct our sessions in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specialized indoor spaces. Our instructors are trained to manage group dynamics and equipment safely, ensuring that everyone can focus on having a blast and being creative without any worries.

How long does a typical session last?

Standard public art workshops in Manta typically last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a thorough safety briefing, an introduction to techniques, practice rounds, and the final creation of your mural or canvas. If you have a specific time constraint for a festival or event, we can easily tailor the duration to fit your schedule perfectly. Just let us know your requirements!

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are super flexible! Whether you are a solo artist looking for a private lesson or a large corporate group of 100+ people, we can accommodate you. In Manta, we often work with medium-sized groups for team building or large-scale community events. For very large groups, we bring in extra backup artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention and guidance throughout the experience.

What exactly is included in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need to get started. This includes a wide range of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the surface you'll be painting on—whether that’s a professional wall, a large canvas, or a temporary structure. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and perhaps a bottle of water to stay hydrated under the Manta sun!

How does the payment process work?

At Graffitifun, we believe in a hassle-free experience. You don't need to make any upfront payments to secure your booking in Manta. You can simply book your date and pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. This keeps things simple and builds trust—we're confident you're going to love what we do!

What happens if it rains on the day of my workshop?

Rain happens, but it won't stop the fun! If the weather looks bad for an outdoor session in Manta, we have several options. We can move the workshop to a covered or indoor location, or we can reschedule the event to a different time that suits you. Because we have a team of backup artists available, we are very resilient to scheduling changes and rarely ever have to cancel.

Can we choose where we paint in Manta?

Manta is a city with a growing appreciation for urban art! While we often use designated 'legal walls' or our own mobile canvases, we also help facilitate community murals. If you have a specific wall in mind, we can discuss the logistics. Our goal is to contribute positively to the city’s aesthetic while teaching you the skills to express yourself legally and creatively.

Local culture

Manta isn't just a port city; it's a canvas waiting to be painted. From the bustling murals near the Plaza Cívica to the hidden gems in the neighbourhoods of Tarqui and Los Esteros, street art is becoming a vital part of Manta's cultural identity. Our workshops tap into this local energy, celebrating the Pacific breeze and the vibrant colours of coastal life. We often draw inspiration from the sea, the local fishing heritage, and the modern growth of the city. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know Manta is known as the "Tuna Capital of the World"? We often see our students incorporating cool nautical themes and oceanic blues into their graffiti pieces! 🐟

In addition to Manta, we also bring our creative fire to other major hubs in Ecuador, including Quito, Guayaquil, Cuenca, and Santo Domingo. Wherever you are in the country, Graffitifun is there to spice up your events!

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as flexible as our spray cans! Because every event is unique—ranging from small private parties to large-scale public art festivals—we don't have a one-size-fits-all price list. Factors including group size, duration, and the type of surface (e.g., individual canvases vs. a massive public mural) will influence the cost.

Prices depend on group size and setup—request a quote today! 🚀
