Frequently asked questions

Do we need any previous art experience to join the workshop?

Not at all! Our professional artists guide you through the entire process, from holding the spray can to advanced layering techniques. We focus on 'controlled chaos' where mistakes often turn into the best parts of the piece. Most university students have never touched a spray can before, yet they leave with a finished artwork they are incredibly proud of. It is all about the vibe and the effort.

Is the spray paint safe to use and what gear do you provide?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. The spray paints we use are professional grade, and our instructors are trained to manage large groups safely. We always work in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces in Montevideo to ensure everyone can breathe easily while they create their masterpieces.

How long does a typical university workshop session last?

Standard university workshops usually last between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demo, practice sessions, and the final creation of a large-scale mural or individual canvases. If you have a specific schedule or a tight slot during a student union event, we can adapt the timing to fit your needs perfectly.

Can we choose a specific theme or message for our mural?

Absolutely! We can tailor the entire session to a theme—whether it is 'Student Well-being,' 'Sustainability,' or your specific faculty's subject. We love it when student groups come with a vision. Our artists will help you translate those abstract ideas into a visual language that looks amazing on a wall. It is a brilliant way to make the event feel unique to your university.

Do you come to our campus or do we travel to a studio?

We are very flexible when it comes to location. We can host the workshop at a designated spot on your campus, or we can suggest one of Montevideo's iconic legal street art zones. If you prefer to stay on-site, we use mobile graffiti walls or large canvases, ensuring we leave no unwanted marks on your university's architecture. We bring the studio to you!

What makes Graffitifun different from other event providers?

Unlike many other providers, we do not require upfront payments. You can book your date and pay after the workshop is completed once you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We also have a network of backup artists to ensure your event never gets cancelled, and our instructors are genuine street artists who live and breathe this culture every single day.

What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor workshop?

Montevideo can be temperamental, but we have got you covered. If the weather looks bad, we can either move the event to a covered outdoor area or use our indoor-safe techniques with low-odour water-based paints on canvases. Alternatively, we can reschedule the session to a sunnier day. We always have a 'Plan B' ready so your event goes ahead without a hitch.
