Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for participants with special needs?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality, low-odour spray paint whenever possible and provide all necessary protective gear, including masks and gloves. Our instructors are experienced in managing groups with various needs and ensure a supervised, secure environment where everyone can feel comfortable exploring their creativity without any pressure or risk.

How do you adapt the workshop for different disabilities?

We pride ourselves on flexibility. Our team in Faro can adapt the workshop's pace, the tools used (like using markers or stencils if spray cans are difficult), and the physical layout of the space. Whether participants have mobility challenges, sensory sensitivities, or learning disabilities, we tailor our communication and teaching style to ensure everyone feels included and successful in their artistic journey.

What should participants wear to the session?

We recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a little 'colourful'. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti is a hands-on art form, and the occasional stray paint drop can happen. It’s all part of the authentic street art experience, letting you focus entirely on the fun without worrying about your Sunday best!

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

While we love the sunny Faro outdoors, we always have a plan B! If the weather doesn't play ball, we can host the workshop at an indoor location or use covered areas. Our goal is to ensure your event goes ahead regardless of the weather, providing a consistent and reliable experience for your group without any last-minute stress.

How long does a special needs graffiti session last?

Standard workshops in Faro usually last between 1.5 to 2 hours. However, we understand that some groups might need more frequent breaks or a slower rhythm. We can easily adjust the duration to fit your specific requirements, ensuring the session is engaging without being overwhelming or tiring for the participants. Just let us know your preference!

Can you bring the workshop to our specific facility?

Yes, we can! While we have great locations in Faro, we are fully mobile. If your group is based at a specific centre, school, or community hub in the Algarve, our artists can bring all the equipment, boards, and paint directly to you. This often helps participants feel more comfortable in a familiar environment.
