How it works

Introduction & inspiration: We start with a high-energy intro into the world of street art, showing examples of famous murals across Bolivia to get the creative juices flowing. ✨
Safety briefing: Our artists demonstrate how to use the equipment properly, including mask fitting and nozzle control, ensuring everyone feels safe and ready.
Sketching the vision: Before touching the wall, the group works together to brainstorm themes and sketch their ideas on paper, focusing on teamwork and shared goals.
Mastering the can: Participants head to the practice area to learn basic techniques like lines, dots, and fades, getting a feel for the pressure and flow of the spray. 🎨
Outline and fill: The large-scale mural begins! Under our guidance, the youth group scales up their sketches and starts filling in the vibrant colours.
Detailing and 'style': We teach the 'pro' tricks, such as adding shadows, highlights, and sharp outlines to make the artwork pop and look professional.
The finishing touch: The group adds their collective 'tag' or signature to the piece, celebrating their hard work and the message they’ve created. 🏆
Group photo and cleanup: We capture the moment with professional photos of the team in front of their masterpiece before tidying up the site.

Frequently asked questions

Do the participants need any previous art experience?

Absolutely! Our La Paz youth projects are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional street artists start with the basics, from how to hold a spray can to mastering simple 'tagging' techniques. We provide a safe, supportive environment where young people can experiment without pressure, building their confidence step-by-step until they are ready to contribute to a large-scale collaborative mural.

Is the paint safe for young people to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep everyone safe and clean. We use low-odour professional spray paint and conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces in La Paz. Our instructors are experienced in managing groups and ensure that all safety protocols are followed strictly throughout the session.

How long does a typical youth graffiti session last?

A standard youth project workshop typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives the group plenty of time to learn the techniques, sketch their ideas, and complete a final piece. For larger community murals or multi-day youth programmes, we can extend the duration to span several sessions or even an entire week, depending on your specific goals.

Do we have to paint on a permanent wall?

While we love the raw energy of urban walls, we can also host workshops on large transportable canvases or wooden panels. This is a popular option for youth centres in La Paz that want to keep the final artwork to display indoors. We are flexible and can bring the workshop to your location or arrange a specific street art spot.

What should the participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend that participants wear 'old' clothes and comfortable trainers. Even though we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can be a bit messy, and a stray splash of paint is always a possibility when creativity is flowing! It's best to wear items you don't mind getting a little bit of colour on.

What is the age limit for these youth projects?

We believe in making street art accessible to everyone. Our youth projects are generally suitable for ages 8 and up. We tailor our teaching style and the complexity of the project to the specific age group, ensuring that younger kids stay engaged with fun exercises while teenagers can dive deeper into complex styles and social messaging.

How much does a youth graffiti workshop cost?

The cost of a youth project in La Paz depends on the number of participants, the duration of the workshop, and the amount of materials required. We provide all-inclusive quotes with no hidden fees, and the best part is you don't have to pay anything upfront. You can use our online cost calculator for a quick estimate!
