Frequently asked questions

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

Absolutely! Our Rio de Janeiro onboarding workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through everything from holding the spray can correctly to mastering 'fat caps' and 'skinny caps'. You don't need any prior drawing skills to walk away with a piece of art you're proud of. We focus on fun and expression over perfection, ensuring everyone feels like a pro by the end of the session. 🎉

Is the graffiti workshop safe and what should I wear?

We take safety seriously while you have fun. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paints in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially chosen indoor spots. Our artists provide a full safety briefing before we start, ensuring everyone handles the equipment correctly. Plus, with our 'backup artist' guarantee, your event is always in safe, reliable hands. ✨

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard onboarding workshop in Rio usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of local street art, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on practice before completing your final masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or are combining this with a larger team event, just let us know and we can tailor the duration to fit your needs perfectly. ⏱️

Do I need to pay for the workshop in advance?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexibility. We don't require any upfront payment or deposits to secure your booking. You simply pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. This takes the stress out of planning and ensures you can book with total confidence. We believe our service speaks for itself, so you only pay when the 'wow' factor is delivered! 💳

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We love working with groups of all sizes! Whether you are a small team of 5 or a large corporate group of 100+, we can accommodate you. For larger groups, we bring in extra professional artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention and coaching. Rio provides some fantastic large-scale spaces perfect for big groups to collaborate on a single giant mural or work on individual canvases simultaneously. 🙌

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

Rio's weather can be unpredictable, but we've got you covered. If we are planned for an outdoor 'hall of fame' and it rains, we usually have a backup indoor location ready or can provide temporary shelter. Because we have a team of backup artists available, we are incredibly resilient to scheduling hiccups. We will always communicate with you to ensure the workshop goes ahead smoothly, rain or shine! 🌦️
