How it works

  1. Initial briefing: We start with a quick introduction to the history of graffiti culture and the tools we use.
  2. Safety first: Everyone gets fitted with protective gear, including masks and gloves, and we cover the essential safety rules.
  3. The sketch phase: Before picking up a can, the youth brainstorm ideas and create a rough sketch of their collaborative mural.
  4. Can control: Participants learn how to hold the spray can, adjust pressure, and master basic lines and dots.
  5. Filling in: We move to the wall to start filling in the large blocks of colour, learning about 'fades' and 'fills'.
  6. Outlining: The artists guide the youth in adding those crisp, sharp outlines that make graffiti pop.
  7. Shadows and highlights: We add 3D effects and highlights to give the artwork depth and professional flair.
  8. Final touches: The group adds decorative elements, 'tag' signatures, and cleans up any drips.
  9. Photo session: We wrap up by taking group photos in front of the finished masterpiece to share the pride!

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe and legal for young people?

Absolutely! We focus on 'legal walls' and designated creative zones. Our professional artists teach participants that graffiti is an art form rooted in respect for the community and private property. We emphasize the difference between vandalism and street art, ensuring every youth project in Buenos Aires is a positive contribution to the neighbourhood's visual landscape. Parents and organisers can rest easy knowing we prioritise safety and ethics.

What should participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a bit of 'artistic character' on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks, spray paint can be unpredictable in the wind. Buenos Aires weather is usually great for outdoor sessions, but it is always best to be prepared for a stray splash of colour on your sleeves!

How long does a typical youth graffiti session last?

Typically, our youth workshops last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice basic can control, and complete a large-scale collaborative mural. If you have a specific schedule or are part of a larger youth festival in Argentina, we can easily adapt the duration to fit your event's timeline.

Do technical skills or prior art experience matter?

No artistic talent is required at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. We guide the youth through simple techniques—like how to flare a line or fill a shape—that yield impressive results quickly. It is about building confidence and having fun in a creative environment. You will be amazed at what the group can produce by the end of the day.

Can you host workshops at our specific youth centre or school?

We are fully mobile and can bring the workshop to your location in Buenos Aires if there is a suitable outdoor space. Otherwise, we have access to several fantastic dedicated street art spots across the city where we can host your group. We handle all the logistics, from setting up the plastic sheeting to providing the paint, making it a hassle-free experience for you.

What safety measures do you have in place for the kids?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade filtered masks and nitrile gloves to all participants. Our sprays are high-quality and used in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Furthermore, our lead artists are experienced in managing groups of young people, ensuring everyone follows safety protocols while using the equipment. We constantly supervise the spray area to keep the environment controlled and enjoyable for everyone involved.
