Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be good at drawing to join the workshop?

You don't need any previous experience or artistic skills to join our Artigas workshop! Our professional artists are there to guide you through every step, from holding the spray can to mastering complex shading. Most of our participants have never touched street art before, and they always leave with a piece of work they are incredibly proud of. It’s all about having fun and trying something new!

What materials are included in the session?

We provide everything you need for the perfect creative session. This includes high-quality spray paint in a huge range of colours, caps/nozzles for different line widths, and protective gear like gloves and masks. We also provide the canvases or practice walls. We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide professional-grade masks and gloves to ensure everyone breathes easy and stays clean. Our artists give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-pressure cans that are much easier to control, making the experience safe and enjoyable for adults and children alike. We ensure a well-ventilated outdoor or indoor environment for every session.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

Our standard tourist workshops in Artigas typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice basic techniques, and then dive into creating your final masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or are visiting Artigas on a tight itinerary, let us know and we can often adjust the timing to fit your needs perfectly.

Can I bring my kids to the graffiti workshop?

Absolutely! We love hosting families. Graffiti is a fantastic multi-generational activity that kids, teens, and parents can enjoy together. We have special tips for younger artists and ensure they have the right gear to participate safely. It's a brilliant way to create a unique family memory while exploring the vibrant culture of northern Uruguay together. We recommend a minimum age of around 6 years old.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Weather in Artigas can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. If the forecast looks rainy, we usually have access to sheltered outdoor spots or indoor spaces where we can spray safely. If the weather is truly extreme, we will work with you to reschedule or find an alternative solution. We have backup artists available too, so your session is almost never cancelled!
