Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to take part in the festival workshop?

Absolutely! Most of our festival participants in Salto have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to control the nozzle, manage pressure, and create clean lines. By the time the festival vibes are in full swing, you'll feel like a seasoned pro. It's all about having a go and enjoying the creative process in a supportive environment.🎨

Is the graffiti workshop safe for everyone?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use spray paints that comply with safety standards, and our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying. We ensure the festival area is well-ventilated and that everyone follows the 'spray-safe' rules while having a blast.🔥

What is the minimum age for participants?

Our festival workshops in Salto are designed to be inclusive! We generally recommend a minimum age of 6 for kids to have the hand strength to use the spray cans effectively. We have lighter cans for younger creators and advanced techniques for the older crowd. It’s a fantastic multi-generational activity that brings families together through the power of street art.✨

How long does a typical workshop session last?

The great thing about our festival set-up is the flexibility. While the main festival might run all day, our specific 'intensive' workshop slots usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives you enough time to learn the theory, practice your tags, and complete a full masterpiece without feeling rushed. You’re then free to enjoy the rest of the Salto street art festivities!🎉

What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?

We’ve got you covered! We always have a plan B involving sheltered areas or gazebos if the weather turns. Our artists are experts at adapting to the conditions. If the weather is truly extreme, we can look at rescheduling or moving to an indoor venue nearby. We make sure the creative energy keeps flowing regardless of the clouds over Salto.💪

Do I need to pay in advance to book a spot?

One of the best parts of the Graffitifun experience is that you don't have to pay a penny until the workshop is over. We believe in our service and want to ensure you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any payment is made. This makes booking for large groups or festival events in Uruguay completely stress-free and easy to manage.🏆

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need to create amazing art! This includes a wide variety of spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear, and the surfaces we’ll be painting on—whether that’s a communal wall or individual canvases. You just need to show up in comfortable shoes and bring your enthusiasm. We handle the messy bits so you can focus on the art.🎨

Can you host workshops in other cities besides Salto?

Yes, we love travelling across Uruguay! While Salto is a fantastic hub for street art, we also bring our festival workshops to Mercedes, Artigas, Montevideo, and Paysandú. If you have a specific location in mind for a brand activation or a community event, just let us know, and we will bring the paint and the passion to your doorstep.🎤
