How long does a typical after-school graffiti session last?

Our graffiti after-school clubs in Barranquilla usually run for about 1.5 to 2 hours per session. We’ve found this is the perfect 'sweet spot' to keep energy levels high without the kids getting tired. It allows enough time for a solid briefing, practice runs on cardboard or plastic, and then the final creation. If you've got a specific schedule in mind, we can always tweak the timing to fit your school's bell times.

Is it safe for children to use spray paint?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every participant. We also use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier for younger hands to control. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups closely, ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly while having a blast in a secure, controlled environment. Plus, we always prefer working in well-ventilated outdoor spaces.

What is the minimum age for participants?

We generally recommend our after-school workshops for children aged 8 and up. At this age, they usually have the hand strength to press the nozzles and the focus to follow the safety instructions. However, we can adapt the program for slightly younger groups using water-based markers or stencils if needed. If you're unsure if your group is the right age, just give us a shout and we can chat about it.

Do we need to provide any materials ourselves?

You don't need to worry about a thing! Graffitifun provides everything required for a successful workshop. This includes a wide array of premium spray paint colours, various nozzles (caps) for different effects, protective gear, and the surfaces to paint on. We even bring boards or mobile walls if your school doesn't have a designated mural space. The only thing the kids need to bring is their enthusiasm and perhaps some old clothes.

Do the students need prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the very basics, like how to hold a can and draw a simple line, before moving on to more complex shapes and shading. Our artists are great at coaching kids of all skill levels, so whether they are naturally artistic or have never picked up a brush, they'll end the day feeling like a pro.

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

Barranquilla's weather can be unpredictable, but we’re prepared! If it rains, we can move the workshop under a covered outdoor area or use large indoor spaces with high ceilings and portable extraction fans. Alternatively, we can focus on the 'sketching and design' phase of graffiti indoors using pro-markers until the clouds clear. We also have a list of backup artists to ensure your scheduled session goes ahead no matter what.

How does the payment process work?

We’re all about flexibility. You don't have to pay a single peso upfront to secure your date. We believe in the quality of our workshops, so you only pay once the session is completed and everyone is happy. We accept various payment methods, and our team will send over a clear invoice after the event. It’s a completely stress-free booking process designed to make life easier for busy school administrators and parents.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after-school program? It’s more than just painting; it's about empowerment. Here’s why we’re the best choice for your students in Barranquilla:

Confidence boost: Seeing a large-scale piece of art come together gives kids a huge sense of achievement.
Safe environment: We use high-quality safety gear and low-pressure cans for a risk-free experience.
Professional mentors: Our artists aren't just talented; they're great at teaching and inspiring the youth.
No financial risk: With our "pay after the workshop" policy, you can book with total peace of mind.
Teamwork: Many of our projects involve collaborative murals, teaching kids how to work together.
Reliability: We have a backup artist system, so your workshop will never be cancelled last minute.

Step by step

Intro and safety: We kick things off with a bubbly introduction to world of street art and a vital safety briefing on how to use the gear.
Design sketches: Every student gets a sketchbook to brainstorm their tag or 'piece', learning about letter structure and flow.
Can control basics: Before hitting the wall, kids practice gestures, pressure, and distance on test surfaces to get a feel for the spray.
Outline creation: Guided by our pros, the students start sketching their main design onto the final surface using light colours.
Filling in: This is where the magic happens! Participants choose their palettes and learn techniques like fades and gradients to fill their work.
The 'Powerline': We teach the kids how to add a bold outline around their piece to make it 'pop' against the background.
Highlights and details: Adding final touches like shines, bubbles, or characters to give the artwork a unique personality.
Group gallery: We finish with a tour of all the creations, where the young artists explain their work and take epic group photos.
Tidy up: We ensure the area is left spotless, packing away all materials and leaving only the amazing art behind.

Good to know

Duration: Usually 1.5 to 2 hours per session, but we can customise this for your schedule.
Group size: Perfect for groups of 10 to 30 students; larger groups can be split into multiple sessions.
Included: All spray cans, caps, protective suits, gloves, masks, and painting surfaces.
Safety: Professional-grade respiratory protection and constant supervision by experienced artists.
Location: We come to you! We set up at schools, parks, or community centres across Barranquilla.

Local culture

Barranquilla is a city that breathes colour, from the wild costumes of the Carnival to the massive murals popping up in the Barrio Abajo. There is a deep-rooted spirit of 'Alegre' here that perfectly matches the energy of graffiti. By bringing our workshops to the city, we’re tapping into that local Costeño pride, encouraging kids to draw inspiration from their surroundings—be it the Magdalena River or the bright tropical flora of the region. We love seeing how the local youth incorporate the unique vibes of 'Quilla' into their spray-painted masterpieces, keeping the city’s artistic legacy alive and kicking.

Pricing

Our pricing is as flexible as our art. It depends on how many kids are joining the fun and the type of project you want to tackle. Generally, prices range between $100,000 and $250,000 COP per person.

Because every school's needs are different, we don't do 'one size fits all' pricing. We’d love to hear about your specific ideas so we can give you a fair deal!
