Frequently asked questions

Do I need prior art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Most of our guests have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and shapes on practice surfaces before moving on to the main event. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created with just a little guidance and some 'Valpo' inspiration.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for tourists?

We prioritse your safety above all else. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. Our spray paints are professional-grade but used in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a nozzle, ensuring a fun and worry-free creative environment for everyone involved.

How long does the workshop session last?

For our tourist workshops in Valparaiso, we typically recommend a duration of 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief introduction to the local street art history, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice time, and the final creation of your artwork. It’s the perfect length to fit into a day of sightseeing without feeling rushed.

What is included in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day! This includes a wide range of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the surface you'll be painting on. You just need to bring your creativity, some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on, and your camera!

What happens if the weather is bad on the day?

Valparaiso's weather is usually great, but if it rains, we've got you covered—literally! We have access to sheltered outdoor spots and indoor creative studios where the workshop can proceed safely. If the weather is truly extreme, we offer flexible rescheduling options because we want your experience to be perfect. We always have backup plans to ensure your holiday plans stay on track.

Can I take my graffiti artwork home with me?

Yes! Unlike many other street art tours, our workshops are designed so you can take your creation home. You'll usually paint on a high-quality canvas or a specially prepared board that is easy to carry. It makes for the ultimate, personalised souvenir of your time in Chile. We'll even give you tips on how to pack it safely for your flight home.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are incredibly flexible with group sizes. Whether you are a solo traveller looking for a private masterclass, a couple on a romantic getaway, or a large tour group exploring the coast of Chile, we can accommodate you. For larger groups, we bring in additional professional artists to ensure everyone gets plenty of personal attention and hands-on guidance throughout the session.
