How it works

  1. Arrival and meet-up: Join us at the festival spot where our pro artists will introduce you to the vibrant world of Salvador's street art scene.
  2. Safety first: Suit up in your protective gear. We provide masks, gloves, and suits to keep your festival outfit fresh while you get messy.
  3. Can control 101: Learn the basics of how to hold the can, switch nozzles (caps), and manage pressure for different stroke widths.
  4. Sketching your vision: Start with a rough outline on your canvas or wall. Our artists will help you refine your ideas into a "tag" or a "piece" that pops.
  5. Fill-in and fading: This is where the magic happens! Learn how to blend colours and create those iconic graffiti gradients and fades.
  6. Outlining and details: Add the sharp outlines and "highlights" that make your artwork stand out and look professional.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our street art festival experiences in Salvador are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic can control and safety. You don't need to be 'good at drawing' to create something spectacular. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before they join us, and they always leave with a smile and a masterpiece!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for the ultimate street art experience. This includes high-quality spray paint in a vast range of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and specialised masks to keep you safe and clean. We also provide the canvases or designated wall space. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm, some comfortable clothes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on, and your creative energy!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality, low-pressure artist spray paint which is easier to control. We provide all necessary personal protective equipment (PPE), including FFP2 or FFP3 masks and gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open spaces. Plus, our artists are experts at managing groups to ensure everyone has a fun, injury-free time under the sun.

How long does the workshop session last?

The standard festival-style workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of your final piece. If you are booking for a specific festival event or a large corporate brand activation, we can adjust the timing to fit your schedule, offering shorter 'taster' sessions or full-day immersive experiences depending on your needs.

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

Rain is rare during the festival season, but we always have a plan! We usually arrange for covered areas or marquees so the creativity doesn't have to stop if there's a tropical shower. If the weather is truly extreme, we have backup dates available or can move to an indoor venue. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never have to cancel an event entirely.

Is there an age limit for participants?

While we love to see young talent flourish, we generally recommend a minimum age of 8 to 12 years old for our standard spray paint workshops due to the physical coordination required. For younger kids, we can provide alternative street-art-themed activities like stencil art or marker workshops. It's a fantastic way to keep the little ones engaged while the adults tackle the bigger walls!

How do I book and do I need to pay upfront?

Booking is easy and stress-free! You can start by using our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate, or try our Workshop Quiz to find your perfect fit. Once you're ready, just send us a request. The best part? There is no upfront payment required. You can settle the bill after the workshop is complete, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the experience we've provided!
