Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our Mendoza workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic spray can control and simple lines. Most of our guests have never held a spray can before they arrive, and they always leave amazed at what they've managed to create. It's all about having fun and expressing yourself!

What should I wear to the workshop?

We provide all the professional protective gear you need, including high-quality overalls, gloves, and masks. However, spray paint is permanent and can be unpredictable with the Mendoza breeze, so we strongly recommend wearing 'play clothes' and old sneakers that you don't mind getting a little dusty or speckled with paint. We want you to focus on the art, not your laundry!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

The safety of our guests is our top priority. We provide professional-grade filtered masks and ensure our outdoor locations have plenty of ventilation. All the spray paint we use is high-quality and compliant with safety standards. Our artists will also give you a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a worry-free environment for you to get creative in.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

Standard tourist workshops in Mendoza typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction, some practice drills on the 'practice wall', and the completion of your final masterpiece. If you are on a tight schedule or part of a larger group, we can often adjust the timing to suit your itinerary—just let us know!

What happens if it rains on the day?

Mendoza is known for its sunshine, but we have backup plans! If the weather doesn't cooperate, we often have access to covered outdoor areas or indoor studios. If the weather is truly extreme, we can reschedule your session to a better time or day at no extra cost. We make sure the 'Land of the Sun' lives up to its name for your creative session!

Do I need to pay in advance to book?

We believe in our experience so much that we don't require upfront payments for most bookings. You can book your spot, and payment is settled after the workshop. We want you to feel completely confident in your booking. If you need to change your plans, just give us a heads-up in advance so we can manage our artist's schedule.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes! While some of our work happens on large communal walls, most of our tourist packages include a personal canvas or board that you can take home with you. It makes for the ultimate, one-of-a-kind Mendoza souvenir! Just keep in mind that the paint needs a little time to dry before you pack it in your suitcase.
