Do I need any prior art experience to join the workshop?
Absolutely! Most of our guests in Valparaiso have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down complex murals into simple, manageable steps. We start with the basics of nozzle control and safety before moving on to 'bombing' and 'piecing' techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created on the streets.
Is the spray paint safe to use?
Safety is our top priority while we're getting creative. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and full-body overalls to keep your clothes paint-free. Our spray paints are low-odour and chosen for their high quality. Our instructors also provide a full safety briefing before anyone starts spraying, ensuring that the experience is as safe as it is fun for all ages.
What should I wear to the graffiti session?
We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on (just in case!). Even though we provide full-body overalls, street art can be a messy business. If you have long hair, it's a good idea to tie it back. Other than that, just bring your enthusiasm and maybe a camera to capture your progress!
What happens if it rains on the day?
In Valparaiso, we have various locations, including dedicated legal street art zones and sheltered areas. If the Chilean weather decides not to cooperate, we have back-up indoor spaces or sheltered walls where the workshop can continue without a hitch. We monitor the forecast closely and will keep you updated if there are any changes to the meeting point due to rain.
How long does the graffiti experience last?
A standard public art workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover the history of Valparaiso's street art scene, practice basic techniques on cardboard or practice walls, and then collaborate on a final large-scale piece. If you have a specific time constraint, we can often tailor the session to fit your scheduleājust let us know!
Can you accommodate large groups or school trips?
We love hosting groups of all sizes! Whether you are a solo traveller looking to join a community session, a family on holiday, or a large corporate team of 50+, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in additional artist-mentors to ensure everyone gets plenty of hands-on guidance and spray time. We also have backup artists ready to go!
How do I book and is there an upfront payment?
Booking is easy and flexible with Graffitifun. You can request a quote through our website or use our Cost Calculator for an instant estimate. The best part? We don't require upfront payment! You can pay after the workshop once you've seen the results. We want you to be 100% satisfied with your Valparaiso street art experience before any money changes hands.
