Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

You do not need any previous drawing skills to enjoy our Merida workshop. Our professional artists are there to guide you through every single step, from holding the spray can to layering colours. We focus on the fun and the process of creating something new, so whether you are a total beginner or a seasoned doodler, you will walk away with a piece of art you can be proud of.

What materials are included in the session?

We provide everything you need to create your masterpiece. This includes high quality spray paint in a variety of vibrant colours, caps for different line widths, protective gloves, masks, and coveralls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or practice walls where you will be working. Just bring your enthusiasm and some comfortable shoes that you do not mind getting a bit of dust on.

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We use water based or low odour professional spray paints whenever possible and provide all necessary safety gear like respiratory masks and gloves. Our instructors give a full safety briefing before any cans are shaken. We ensure the workshop area is well ventilated and that everyone follows the correct procedures to keep the environment safe and enjoyable for all participants.

How long does the workshop last?

The standard public art workshop in Merida usually lasts between one and a half to three hours. This timeframe allows us to cover the history of graffiti, practice basic techniques, and complete a final group project or individual canvas. If you have a specific schedule in mind or want a more intensive full day masterclass, we can certainly customise the duration to fit your event perfectly.

Where in Merida do the workshops take place?

The beauty of our Merida workshops is that they can happen almost anywhere. We often host sessions at local creative hubs, outdoor plazas, or even at your chosen venue if you have a suitable outdoor space. We handle all the logistics and permissions required for public art displays. If you have a specific location in Merida in mind, let us know and we will see if we can make it happen there.

Do I have to pay upfront?

We believe in flexibility and trust. You do not need to make any upfront payments to book your spot. You can settle the bill after the workshop is completed and you are happy with the results. We want you to feel confident in our service and focus entirely on the creative experience without worrying about early deposits or hidden fees during the booking process.

Is this legal graffiti?

While graffiti is often associated with urban street culture, our workshops are purely legal and focused on art as a form of expression. We only paint on authorised walls or mobile canvases provided by us. Our goal is to teach the skills and history of the movement while respecting the beautiful architecture of Merida. It is about community, creativity, and adding colour to the world in a positive, legal way.

Local culture

Merida is a city where every corner tells a story, from the grandeur of Paseo de Montejo to the hidden gems in the neighbourhoods of Santa Ana and Santiago. While the city is famous for its Maya heritage and colonial architecture, there is a pulse of contemporary street art that is starting to beat louder. Our workshops tap into this modern energy, allowing you to contribute to the local visual landscape in a respectful and artistic way. In Merida, art is about community and connection, and our sessions reflect that warm Yucatecan spirit.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Merida is often called the "White City" because of the white limestone used in many of its buildings? This makes the vibrant colours of graffiti pop even more brilliantly against the classic backdrop! 🏛️
