Frequently asked questions

Is the workshop safe for people with sensory sensitivities?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority in Santiago. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our spray paints are low-odour and selected for ease of use. Every workshop is led by an experienced artist who ensures the environment remains calm, organised, and safe for everyone involved. We tailor the pace of the session to the specific needs of the group to ensure total comfort throughout.

How do you adapt the workshop for different levels of ability?

We are extremely flexible. Our artists are trained to adapt their teaching styles for individuals with physical, intellectual, or developmental disabilities. Whether someone needs extra physical support to hold a spray can or prefers to communicate through visual aids, we adjust our approach. We focus on what each participant *can* do, ensuring they feel empowered and successful in creating their own street art masterpiece.

How long does a typical session last?

The duration is usually between 1.5 to 3 hours, but we can totally customise this. For groups in Santiago that might find longer sessions taxing, we can incorporate more frequent breaks or condense the session into a high-energy 60-minute burst of creativity. We work closely with carers and organisers beforehand to determine the ideal timing for your specific group's needs.

Can you host the workshop at our own facility?

While we have access to some incredible legal graffiti walls across Santiago, we can also bring the workshop to you! If a familiar environment is better for your group, we can set up portable wooden panels or plastic sheeting at your day centre, school, or community hub. We handle all the setup and cleanup, making it a stress-free experience for the organisers.

Do participants need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the very basics, like how to hold the can and control the pressure. Our goal isn't to create 'perfect' art, but to encourage self-expression and have a blast. You'll be amazed at the professional-looking results our participants achieve with just a little bit of guidance from our pro artists.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day?

Santiago's weather is usually great, but if we are scheduled for an outdoor wall and it rains, we have backup plans. We can move the session indoors using canvases or portable boards, or we can reschedule for a better day. Since we have a team of backup artists available, we almost never have to cancel a workshop due to staffing issues, ensuring your event goes ahead.
