Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Safety is our absolute number one priority. We provide all students with high-quality protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep their clothes clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designated zones. Our professional artists are expert instructors who supervise the group closely at all times, ensuring everyone handles the spray cans correctly and stays within the safe creative boundaries we set.
Can we include an educational theme in the workshop?
Absolutely! While we love letting kids' creativity run wild, we can easily link the workshop to school subjects like Art History, Social Studies, or Physics (the science of aerosols!). We can focus the mural on specific themes like environmental awareness, local Valparaiso history, or school values like 'respect' and 'teamwork'. Just let us know your curriculum goals, and we'll tailor the session to match.
What is the maximum group size for a school session?
The ideal group size is usually between 15 and 30 students per instructor to ensure everyone gets enough 'can-time' and personal guidance. However, we are very flexible! We’ve successfully hosted entire year groups of 100+ students by bringing in a team of backup artists and setting up multiple graffiti stations. We scale our team to fit your specific class size requirements.
Do we need to provide any materials ourselves?
Everything is included in the price! We provide the spray paint, protective gear, masks, and the 'canvas' (which could be a large plastic wall, wooden panels, or even a permanent school wall if allowed). You don’t need to worry about hidden costs for materials. The only thing we ask is that students wear old shoes, as paint can sometimes find its way onto the floor!
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
If the Chilean weather doesn't cooperate, we have a few tricks up our sleeves! We can often set up under large gazebos or move the session to a well-ventilated indoor space like a sports hall or workshop room. Thanks to our team of backup artists and flexible planning, we can usually reschedule or adapt the format so the students don't miss out on their creative experience.
Do we need to pay in advance for the school workshop?
No, you don't need to pay anything upfront. We trust our clients and focus on delivering a fantastic experience first. You can settle the payment via invoice after the workshop has been completed. This makes it much easier for school administration and accounting departments to process the paperwork. Your 100% satisfaction is what matters most to us!
