Frequently asked questions

How exactly does this workshop prevent vandalism in Montevideo?

The primary goal is to shift the perspective of participants from destructive 'vandalism' to constructive 'art'. By teaching proper techniques, the history of street art, and the importance of community respect, we provide an outlet for creative energy. When people understand the effort required to create a mural, they are significantly less likely to deface public property and more likely to advocate for designated legal mural zones.

Do I need any prior art skills to join?

Absolutely! Our anti-vandalism program is specifically designed for beginners and those who may have been spray painting 'the wrong way'. Our professional artists guide you through every step, from basic nozzle control to complex shading. No prior artistic experience is needed—just a willingness to learn and a positive attitude. We provide a safe, supportive environment where everyone can discover their inner artist without the risk of legal trouble.

Is the workshop safe for participants and the environment?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality face masks (respirators), protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep you and your clothes clean. All of our paints are selected for their safety profiles, and our workshops take place in well-ventilated, legal locations. Our instructors are trained to manage groups safely, ensuring that the only thing you take home are great memories and new skills.

What materials are included in the session?

We provide everything you need to get started. This includes a wide variety of professional spray paint colours, different types of 'caps' (nozzles) for various effects, high-quality protective gear, and the surfaces we'll be painting on. For our Montevideo sessions, we often use large-scale canvases or mobile walls, but we can also work on permanent sites if local permissions are in place. You just need to show up!

How long does the experience last?

Our standard anti-vandalism sessions usually last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for an introduction to street art ethics, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of a collective masterpiece. If you have specific timing requirements or a larger group in Montevideo, we can easily customise the duration to fit your schedule perfectly. Just let us know what works for you!

What happens if I need to cancel or if the artist is sick?

We believe in the power of street art so much that we offer 'pay after the workshop' terms for many of our sessions. We don't require upfront payments to secure your booking, giving you total peace of mind. Additionally, we have a network of backup artists available, meaning that even in the unlikely event of an emergency with your primary instructor, your Montevideo workshop will still go ahead as planned.
