Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Our Santiago workshops are designed specifically for beginners and travellers with zero art experience. Our friendly professional artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering basic 'caps' and layering techniques. You’ll be amazed at the masterpiece you can create in just a couple of hours. It’s all about having fun and expressing yourself in a relaxed, supportive environment.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for tourists?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional spray paint brands that meet safety standards. Our instructors are experienced in managing groups and will give a full safety briefing before we start popping caps. You get to enjoy the edgy side of Santiago street art with none of the risks!

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

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 protective suits and gloves, spray paint can be a bit unpredictable. Since Santiago can be quite sunny, especially in the afternoons, bringing a hat and some sunscreen for our outdoor sessions is always a smart move.

How long does the workshop take?

Our standard tourist workshops in Santiago typically last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the local scene, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on time for you to paint your own mural or canvas. It fits perfectly into a day of sightseeing without feeling rushed or taking up your entire afternoon.

Where in Santiago do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible! We can host workshops at various vibrant outdoor locations around Santiago that are legal and safe. Alternatively, if you are travelling with a large group or staying at a specific venue that allows it, we can bring the workshop to you. We always ensure we have a great backdrop that captures the authentic urban spirit of Chile's capital.

Are the workshops suitable for children and families?

Yes, they are! Children love the tactile and colourful nature of spray painting. We offer family-friendly sessions where kids can safely explore their creativity. It’s a fantastic way for families visiting Chile to do something active and unique together. We adjust our teaching style to be engaging for younger artists while ensuring they follow all safety protocols.

What is included in the workshop price?

Everything you need to create street art is included in the price. This covers all professional spray cans in a wide variety of colours, protective masks and gloves, surfaces to paint on (like walls or canvases), and the expert guidance of our local street artists. There are no hidden costs; you just turn up ready to paint and have a blast!
