Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Faro have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists break down the process into easy-to-follow steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It's all about having fun and expressing your personality through art, regardless of your previous experience levels.

Is the workshop safe and what should I wear?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality face masks, disposable gloves, and protective ponchos to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in a well-ventilated outdoor environment. Our instructors are experienced at managing groups and will guide you on the correct way to handle the cans. We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of 'artistic' dust on!

How long does the graffiti workshop last?

Our standard Faro graffiti workshops for tourists typically last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your own artwork. If you have a specific time constraint or want a more intensive deep-dive session, just let us know and we can tailor the duration to suit your holiday schedule.

Do I have to pay in advance for the booking?

We believe in a 'fun first' policy! That’s why we don’t require any upfront payments when you book your workshop in Faro. You can simply pay after the session is completed and you're happy with the results. This takes the stress out of planning your trip and ensures you only pay for an experience you've truly enjoyed. We accept various payment methods for your convenience.

What happens if it rains on the day?

We are usually able to host workshops in various weather conditions, but if there's heavy rain, we have backup plans. We often use sheltered outdoor spots or can reschedule the session to a better time during your stay. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never have to cancel. We’ll always communicate with you to ensure your Faro art experience stays on track!

Can you recommend other street art spots in Faro?

Faro is a fantastic hub for creative energy! While we primarily focus on our workshops, our artists are deeply involved in the local scene and can point you toward the best legal walls and street art galleries in the Algarve. If you're looking for more than just a workshop, like a brand activation or a school event, we offer those too. Exploring the murals of Faro is the perfect follow-up to our session.
