You step off Wynwood’s sun-warmed pavement and up onto a roof where the city feels closer, paint fumes mixing with the salt-sweet breeze off Biscayne Bay. The rooftop of the Citadel Building is both studio and stage: a raw concrete wall framed by the neighborhood’s larger-than-life murals, where instructors — working street artists — guide you through aerosol techniques and the rules that shape style writing.

You step off Wynwood’s sun-warmed pavement and up onto a roof where the city feels closer, paint fumes mixing with the salt-sweet breeze off Biscayne Bay. The rooftop of the Citadel Building is both studio and stage: a raw concrete wall framed by the neighborhood’s larger-than-life murals, where instructors — working street artists — guide you through aerosol techniques and the rules that shape style writing.
Wynwood’s story matters to the class. Once an industrial warehouse district, it became a canvas in the early 2000s as artists reclaimed brick and steel, turning graffiti from illicit expression into curated public art. The session introduces that history while demonstrating how spray caps, pressure and layering create line, fill and shading.
Expect a hands-on hour: materials provided (spray paint, nozzles, a dedicated wall) and an instructor-led progression from warm-up tags to a controlled piece. Teachers stress etiquette — legal walls, community respect, and safely disposing of cans — alongside creative tips like using caps for different line widths and masking for crisp edges.
Practicalities are straightforward. Book online; classes are private and accessible, held at Pedro AMOS Galeria in Wynwood Plaza. Wear clothes you don’t mind staining, arrive with ID, and plan for sun if the rooftop is open-air. Photography is welcome, but follow the lead of instructors and nearby artists when interacting with other murals.
For urban adventurers, this is a fast, focused way to learn aerosol craft, the neighborhood’s history, and the practical responsibilities of public art — all within an hour on a rooftop that feels simultaneously gritty and inviting.
