Why choose us in Arequipa?

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your secondary school? It’s simple: it’s the art form that students actually want to do. Our workshops in Arequipa provide a safe, structured, and incredibly fun way to explore this global phenomenon. šŸ”„

  • Epic Engagement: Even the most 'too-cool-for-school' students get hooked once they feel the click of the spray can.
  • Boosted Confidence: Watching a blank space transform into a huge piece of art gives students an incredible sense of achievement.

  • Zero Hassle: We bring everything! You just provide the space and the students, and we handle the rest, including the cleanup.
  • Risk-Free Professionalism: With our backup artists and 'pay-after' policy, your school event is in the safest hands in Peru.

How it works

  1. Introduction & Culture: We kick things off with a high-energy intro into the world of graffiti, covering its history from NYC subways to the streets of Arequipa.
  2. Safety Gear Up: Students get kitted out in their protective suits, gloves, and professional-grade masks to keep things safe and clean.
  3. The 'Tag' Brainstorm: Every artist needs a name! We help students brainstorm their own graffiti alias and practice the flow of their signature.
  4. Can Control 101: Our pros demonstrate how to hold the can, swap nozzles (caps), and manage pressure to get different lines and effects.
  5. Practice Makes Perfect: Students hit the practice walls to master 'fading', 'outlining', and 'filling' before starting the main event.
  6. Concept Sketching: Working in teams or individually, the group sketches out their big design on the final surface.
  7. The Big Paint: The cans start clicking! This is where the magic happens as the students bring their vibrant visions to life.
  8. The Final Outline: We teach the 'pro' trick of adding a sharp black or white outline to make the artwork really pop off the wall.
  9. Photo Op & Cleanup: We celebrate the finished masterpieces with a group photo session before we pack up everything, leaving the site spotless.

Frequently asked questions

Is the spray paint safe for secondary school students?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure no one is breathing in fumes, along with gloves and protective suits to keep those school uniforms clean. Our professional artists are trained in site safety and group management, ensuring every student has a blast in a controlled, secure environment. Plus, we use low-pressure cans that are much easier and safer for beginners to handle.

What is the educational value of a graffiti workshop?

Absolutely! We don't just spray and pray; we teach the history and culture of street art. We discuss the thin line between legal art and illegal vandalism, encouraging students to use their skills for positive community impact. It’s a fantastic way to engage kids who might feel disconnected from traditional art classes, showing them that 'street art' is a respected global movement and a legitimate career path.

Where do the workshops take place in Arequipa?

Total flexibility is our middle name! We can come directly to your school in Arequipa if you have a suitable outdoor space or a well-ventilated indoor area. Alternatively, we can arrange for the group to visit a local legal graffiti zone or an urban art studio. If we do it on school grounds, we use giant plastic sheeting and boards to ensure we leave the property exactly as we found it.

How long does a typical school workshop last?

We suggest planning for about 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final 'masterpiece' creation. We’ve found this is the 'sweet spot' for secondary students—it’s long enough to get deep into the creative flow but short enough to keep their energy and focus levels peaking throughout the entire session.

What materials do we need to provide?

We handle everything so you don't have to worry about a thing! We provide the spray paint in a huge range of colours, caps (nozzles), gloves, masks, protective clothing, and the surfaces to paint on (usually large wooden boards or cellophane 'walls'). We even bring inspiration books and sketches to help those who might be feeling a bit of 'blank canvas' anxiety. You just bring the students!

Is there a minimum or maximum group size?

While we don't have a fixed minimum, we find it works best with groups of 10 or more. For very large year groups, we simply bring in more of our professional artists to ensure every student gets plenty of individual attention and spray time. We have a solid roster of backup artists in Peru, so we can scale up for hundreds of students if needed!

How does the booking process and payment work?

Booking is easy and stress-free. You can request a quote via our website or a quick message. Once we've settled on a date and the details, your booking is confirmed. The best part? There’s no upfront payment required. You only pay after the workshop has been successfully delivered and your students are buzzing with excitement. We believe in the quality of our workshops 100%!
