Frequently asked questions

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, aerosol mist can sometimes find its way onto your trainers or sleeves. It's all part of the authentic artist experience! Dress comfortably so you can move around freely while you're creating your masterpiece in the Quito breeze.

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from total tech-phobes to budding Picassos. Our professional artists will guide you through every single step, from holding the can correctly to mastering complex shading. You'll be amazed at how quickly you pick up the techniques. By the end of the session, you'll have created something you're truly proud of, regardless of your starting point.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 respiratory masks to ensure you aren't breathing in any fumes. We also provide gloves and protective suits. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces in Quito, and our instructors are trained to manage the equipment safely at all times. All you need to do is follow their lead!

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard public art workshop in Quito usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for the introduction, technique practice, and the creation of your final piece. If you are booking a larger corporate event or a detailed festival mural, we can adjust the timing to fit your schedule. We ensure every minute is packed with creativity and fun!

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes, absolutely! While we often use large shared walls for the main experience, we can provide individual canvases or boards if you'd like to take your artwork home. This is a popular option for birthday parties and school groups. Just let us know in advance so we can prepare the right materials for your Quito street art adventure. Our goal is to make sure you have a lasting memory.

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

Quito weather can be unpredictable! For our public art workshops, we always have a 'Plan B'. We scout locations that offer overhead cover or have nearby indoor facilities where we can set up mobile walls. If the weather is truly extreme, we can reschedule or move to a fully indoor venue. We also have backup artists on standby, so your event is guaranteed to go ahead!

Do I need to pay for the workshop in advance?

We believe in our service so much that we don't require any upfront payment. You can book your workshop and then pay once the session is complete. This takes the stress out of the planning process and ensures you are 100% happy with the experience. We accept various payment methods for your convenience.
