Frequently asked questions

Do I need prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Most of our festival participants have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, from how to hold the can to mastering pressure control. We focus on fun and expression rather than perfection, so you'll feel like a pro by the end of the session. It's all about enjoying the vibe and trying something new!

Is the workshop safe and what gear is provided?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep you clean and safe. Our spray paints are selected for their quality, and our instructors provide a full safety briefing before anyone starts painting. We ensure a controlled environment where you can focus entirely on your creativity without any worries.

What should I wear to the street art festival workshop?

Wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a bit of 'artistic' character on! While we provide protective suits, spray paint can be unpredictable. Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety. Other than that, just bring your energy and perhaps a camera to capture your progress throughout the festival day!

What is the minimum age for participants?

Our festival workshops are designed to be inclusive, typically suitable for ages 6 and up. We use specialized low-pressure cans for younger artists to make them easier to handle. It’s a fantastic way for kids, teens, and adults to connect over a shared creative project in the heart of Valparaiso.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Don't let a drizzle dampen your spirits! If the weather looks shaky, we often move to covered locations or use temporary pop-up shelters. Because we have local backup artists and flexible logistics in Valparaiso, we can almost always find a solution to ensure the festival vibes continue regardless of the Chilean weather.

How do I book and is there an upfront payment?

Booking is easy and stress-free! You can use our online cost calculator for an estimate or simply send us a request. One of the best parts about Graffitifun is that we don't require upfront payments—you pay after the workshop. This ensures you are 100% happy with the experience we've planned for you.

How long does the graffiti experience actually last?

Standard festival workshops usually run between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a demo, some practice sessions on the 'practice wall', and the creation of your final masterpiece. We can also tailor the timing if you're looking for a shorter 'drop-in' style experience for a larger event.
