  • Boosts self-confidence: Watching a giant mural come to life gives young people a massive sense of achievement. 💪

How it works

  1. Intro and safety briefing: We start with a quick meet-and-greet and kit everyone out in protective gear while explaining the 'rules of the road' for spray painting safety.
  2. The art of the tag: Participants learn the history of graffiti and move on to creating their own 'tag' or artist alias—finding their unique creative identity.
  3. Spray tech 101: Our pro artists demonstrate how to hold the can, control the pressure, and use different caps to create thin lines, fat fills, and cool gradients.
  4. Practice run: Everyone gets some hands-on time on a practice surface to get a feel for the paint without any pressure.
  5. Concept sketching: The group works together or individually to sketch out the final design, choosing colours and layout for their big project.
  6. The main event: This is where the magic happens! The group starts painting the main piece, applying everything they've learned about layering and shading.
  7. Fine details: We help the crew add those professional finishing touches, outlines, and highlights that make the artwork really pop.
  8. Photo op and wrap-up: We take group photos with the finished masterpiece so everyone has a memory of what they achieved together.
  9. Clean up: We handle the tidy-up, leaving the site as we found it (except for the amazing new art, of course!).

Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical youth graffiti workshop last?

Most of our youth graffiti workshops in Santiago take between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives the group plenty of time to learn the basic safety rules, practice their spray painting techniques on a practice wall, and then collaborate on a final masterpiece or individual canvases. We can always adjust the timing to fit your specific youth programme or project schedule if you need something shorter or longer!

Is the workshop safe for teenagers and children?

Absolutely! We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls for all participants. Our professional artists are also trained to supervise young people and ensure the spray cans are used responsibly. We only use high-quality paint, and for indoor sessions or specific requirements, we can even provide water-based low-odour spray cans to keep everyone comfortable and safe.

Do the participants need any previous art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. Most of the young people we work with have never touched a spray can before. Our artists are fantastic mentors who break down the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps. By the end of the session, even the most hesitant participants are usually amazed by the professional-looking art they’ve helped create. It's all about building confidence!

Where in Santiago do the workshops take place?

The best part about Graffitifun is our flexibility. We can host the workshop at many cool outdoor locations across Santiago, or we can come to your youth centre, school, or sports club. If you don't have a venue, just let us know! We have access to several legal graffiti walls and creative spaces that are perfect for a messy, high-energy sessions.

What materials are included in the price?

We provide everything! Your booking includes premium spray paint in a huge range of vibrant colours, caps/nozzles for different effects, protective gear (overalls, gloves, masks), and the 'canvas' (whether that's a wall, boards, or individual canvases). You just need to make sure the participants wear old clothes and shoes—even with overalls, graffiti can be a bit 'adventurous' for your favourite trainers!

What are the benefits of graffiti for youth projects?

Graffiti is a brilliant tool for youth engagement. It teaches patience, planning, and teamwork. For many young people in Santiago, it's also a powerful way to express their identity and feel a sense of ownership over their environment in a positive, legal way. It builds self-esteem and shows them that their creative voice has value in the community. Plus, it's incredibly fun!

How do we book and when do we pay?

Booking is easy and risk-free. You can request a quote via our website or use our Cost Calculator. The best bit? There’s no upfront payment required—you only pay after the workshop is complete. We also have backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation. We make the admin side as stress-free as the workshop itself!
