Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?
Absolutely not! Our Mexico City workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists guide you through every single step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering complex shading. Most of our tourist guests have never touched a spray can before they arrive, and they all leave with a piece of art they are proud of. We focus on fun and expression rather than technical perfection.
Is it safe and what should I wear?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide high quality FFP2 masks to ensure you are not breathing in fumes, along with gloves and protective ponchos to keep your clothes clean. We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you do not mind getting a tiny bit of paint on, just in case! Our workshops take place in well ventilated areas or designated legal graffiti zones where it is safe and legal to paint.
How long does the graffiti experience last?
Standard workshops for tourists usually last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of Mexican street art, learn the basic techniques, and complete your individual or group masterpiece. If you are on a tight schedule while exploring Mexico City, we can sometimes adapt the timing to suit your itinerary. Just let us know your needs when you book your session with our team.
What materials are included in the price?
We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes a wide variety of professional grade spray paint colours, caps for different line widths, protective gear, and the surface we will be painting on. For tourist groups, we often use high quality canvases so you have a portable souvenir to take home, though we also offer sessions on large scale walls for that authentic street feel.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Mexico City can be unpredictable, but we have you covered. We have access to various covered or indoor locations that allow the creativity to flow even if it pours outside. Additionally, we have a network of backup artists to ensure your booking is never cancelled due to staff illness. We are committed to making sure your holiday plans stay on track, no matter what the weather decides to do.
Can I book as a solo traveller or a large group?
We love hosting groups! While we can accommodate solo travellers, the experience is especially fun for families, couples, or groups of friends. We offer special rates for larger groups and can scale the workshop up to accommodate dozens of people if needed. If you are a solo traveller, get in touch and we will see if we can slot you into an existing creative session happening during your stay.
