Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have any artistic skills to participate?

Absolutely no experience is required! Our Fortaleza workshops are designed specifically for beginners and curious travellers. Our professional artists will guide you through everything from how to hold the spray can to advanced shading techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the piece of art you’ve managed to create on your own. It's all about having fun and letting your creativity flow in a relaxed, supportive environment.

Is the workshop safe and are materials provided?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our instructors are experienced pros who will brief you on all safety protocols before we touch a single can, ensuring a worry-free experience for everyone in your group.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

The workshop typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of Brazilian street art, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice time, and the final creation of your masterpiece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' where you get to learn a lot without feeling rushed, leaving you with the rest of the day to explore Fortaleza's beaches.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide protective overalls, spray paint has a mind of its own sometimes. Since Fortaleza can be quite warm, light, breathable fabrics are best. Don't forget your sunglasses and a camera to capture the progress of your artwork!

How do I pay and do I need to book in advance?

We are very flexible! You don't need to pay anything upfront. We believe in the quality of our service, so you only pay after the workshop is completed. This keeps things stress-free for you while you're travelling. We accept various payment methods, and you can always request a custom quote beforehand to know exactly what the costs will be for your specific group size.

What happens if the artist is unavailable?

We pride ourselves on reliability. We have a dedicated team of backup artists in Fortaleza, meaning even if your primary instructor falls ill, we have a professional ready to step in. Your holiday time is precious, and we make sure your creative plans stay on track. We've never had a 'no-show' because we understand how important these experiences are for visitors.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Of course! While we often work on large shared walls to give you the real 'street' experience, we can also provide individual canvases. This is a popular choice for tourists who want a unique, handmade souvenir to take home. Just let us know your preference when booking so we can have the right materials ready for your session in the sun.
