Do I need any prior art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Valparaiso have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down complex murals into simple, manageable steps. We start with the basics of nozzle control and safety before moving on to 'bombing' and 'piecing' techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created on the streets.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority while we're getting creative. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and full-body overalls to keep your clothes paint-free. Our spray paints are low-odour and chosen for their high quality. Our instructors also provide a full safety briefing before anyone starts spraying, ensuring that the experience is as safe as it is fun for all ages.

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on (just in case!). Even though we provide full-body overalls, street art can be a messy business. If you have long hair, it's a good idea to tie it back. Other than that, just bring your enthusiasm and maybe a camera to capture your progress!

What happens if it rains on the day?

In Valparaiso, we have various locations, including dedicated legal street art zones and sheltered areas. If the Chilean weather decides not to cooperate, we have back-up indoor spaces or sheltered walls where the workshop can continue without a hitch. We monitor the forecast closely and will keep you updated if there are any changes to the meeting point due to rain.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard public art workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover the history of Valparaiso's street art scene, practice basic techniques on cardboard or practice walls, and then collaborate on a final large-scale piece. If you have a specific time constraint, we can often tailor the session to fit your schedule—just let us know!

Can you accommodate large groups or school trips?

We love hosting groups of all sizes! Whether you are a solo traveller looking to join a community session, a family on holiday, or a large corporate team of 50+, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in additional artist-mentors to ensure everyone gets plenty of hands-on guidance and spray time. We also have backup artists ready to go!

How do I book and is there an upfront payment?

Booking is easy and flexible with Graffitifun. You can request a quote through our website or use our Cost Calculator for an instant estimate. The best part? We don't require upfront payment! You can pay after the workshop once you've seen the results. We want you to be 100% satisfied with your Valparaiso street art experience before any money changes hands.

Tool kit training: Learn about different nozzles (caps) and how they change your spray stroke from thin lines to fat fills.
Mastering the 'can control': Practice your first lines and circles on a practice wall to get a feel for the pressure.
Sketching your vision: Work with our artists to sketch out your design or 'tag' on the wall using light colours.
The fill-in: Add vibrant colours to your design, learning how to layer paint without it dripping.
Outlining and highlights: Add the sharp edges and 'shines' that make your graffiti pop off the wall.
Final touches: Step back, evaluate your work, and add those professional flourishes with the help of your mentor.
Photos and 'tags': Snap some epic photos with your masterpiece and sign your name in style. ✨

Local culture

In Valparaiso, every wall tells a story. Known as the 'Jewel of the Pacific', this UNESCO World Heritage city is famous for its labyrinthine alleys and steep funiculars, but its heartbeat is the street art. Unlike many cities where graffiti is hidden, here it is celebrated as a fundamental part of the urban identity. From the poetic murals of Cerro Alegre to the political statements in Cerro Concepción, the city is a living canvas.

Fun Fact: Valparaiso is so dedicated to street art that several local laws actually encourage mural painting on private property with the owner's permission, making it one of the most legal-graffiti-friendly cities in the world! 🇨🇱

Our workshops take place in areas that capture this unique spirit, ensuring you feel the true 'Valpo' vibe while you create. We don't just teach you to paint; we connect you with the local heritage through every spray of the can.

Pricing

Our graffiti experiences are designed to be accessible and fun for everyone. Prices typically range from:

$20,000 – $45,000 CLP per person

The final cost depends on your group size, the duration of the workshop, and the specific setup (e.g., individual canvases vs. a large mural wall). We believe in transparency and fairness, which is why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' guarantee.
