Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely! In fact, most of our workshop guests in Santa Cruz have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you can create something impressive with just a little guidance and some 'Cruceño' inspiration!

Is the workshop safe and clean?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective overalls to keep you and your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying, ensuring a fun and worry-free creative environment for everyone involved.

How long does the experience last?

A standard graffiti workshop for tourists in Santa Cruz typically lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the local scene, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice time, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you are on a tight travel schedule, just let us know, and we can adjust the pace accordingly!

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide full protective gear including overalls, it's always best to be prepared. Since Santa Cruz can be quite tropical and warm, light, breathable fabrics are your best bet for staying cool while you work on your street art project.

Do I need to pay in advance?

We believe in the quality of our experiences, so we don't require upfront payments for most bookings. You can simply pay after the workshop is completed. This gives you total peace of mind and flexibility while travelling through Bolivia. We accept various payment methods—just ask us for the details when you request your quote!

Can I book this for a large group of friends?

Yes, we love hosting groups! Whether you are a solo traveller looking to join a session, a couple, or a large group of friends exploring Bolivia together, we can accommodate you. For larger groups, we often bring in extra artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention and guidance. It’s a fantastic way to bond and create shared memories in the city.
