Frequently asked questions

How does a graffiti workshop help prevent vandalism?

Our anti-vandalism program in Braga focuses on education through creativity. We teach participants the difference between illegal tagging and artistic expression. By providing a legal outlet and professional guidance, we help individuals understand the value of public property while giving them the technical skills to create beautiful, respected street art in appropriate locations.

Do we need any prior artistic skills to participate?

Absolutely no experience is needed! Our professional artists specialize in teaching beginners. We start with the absolute basics, from how to hold a spray can to mastering simple lines and fades. By the end of the session, even those who have never touched paint before will have contributed to a stunning piece of group art.

What safety measures and equipment do you provide?

Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality FFP2 masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas, and our instructors are trained to ensure a safe environment for all participants throughout the creative process.

Can the workshop take place at our own location in Braga?

We are highly flexible! While we have dedicated legal walls in Braga, we can also bring the workshop to your location. We use mobile wooden panels or stretch plastic film between pillars to create a temporary canvas. This allows us to set up at schools, community centres, or corporate offices without leaving any permanent marks on the property.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard anti-vandalism workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This provides enough time for a comprehensive introduction to street art culture, a safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of a large-scale mural. We can adjust the timing to fit your specific schedule or event requirements if needed.

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

Braga's weather can be unpredictable, but we always have a plan. If the weather is poor, we can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space using low-odour water-based spray paints. Alternatively, our backup artist system ensures we can reschedule easily if conditions are truly unsuitable for painting.
