What should the students wear to the workshop?

While we love a bit of mess, your clothes don't have to suffer! We provide protective overalls, gloves, and masks for all participants. However, spray paint is notoriously stubborn once it dries, so we always recommend wearing old trainers and clothes you wouldn't mind getting a tiny splash of colour on. It’s all part of the authentic street artist experience!

Is it safe for children to use spray paint?

Safety is our absolute priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary safety gear, including high-grade respiratory masks and gloves. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups closely, ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly. We also choose well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor locations in Cartagena to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for every budding artist.

Do the kids need any prior art experience?

Absolutely not! Our workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to those who already have a bit of a creative spark. Our artists will guide the group through the basics of 'can control,' helping them progress from simple lines to complex pieces. By the end of the session, even those who thought they couldn't draw a stick figure will be amazed at what they've created.

What happens if it rains or an artist is sick?

We are incredibly flexible! Cartagena's weather is usually beautiful, but if it rains, we have covered locations or we can reschedule the session to a better time. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never cancel due to staff illness. We always find a solution to make sure the creative fun goes ahead as planned.

How long does a typical after-school session last?

Duration depends on the package you choose, but typically our after-school sessions last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives the students enough time to learn the theory, practice their hand styles, and complete a final collaborative masterpiece or individual canvas. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and engagement focused.

How much does an after-school workshop cost?

The cost depends on the number of students and the specific materials required for your project. Prices generally range between $100,000 and $250,000 COP per person. We pride ourselves on being transparent with our pricing—there are no hidden fees, and you don't even have to pay upfront! We recommend requesting a custom quote so we can tailor the experience to your school's budget.

Safety briefing: We kit everyone out with overalls, gloves, and professional masks, explaining how to use the equipment safely and responsibly.
Sketching the vision: Before touching a can, we help students brainstorm ideas and sketch out their tags or characters on paper to find their style.
Can control basics: Under expert guidance, kids learn the fundamentals: how to hold the can, different nozzle (cap) types, and how to create thin and thick lines.
Practice run: Students get a feel for the pressure and distance on a practice wall or wooden board to build their confidence.
The main piece: It's time to go big! The group works together on a large-scale mural or individual canvases, applying layers, shadows, and highlights.
The final outline: Our artists show the 'magic trick' of sharpening an image using clean outlines to make the colours pop.
Photo session & cleanup: We celebrate the finished artwork with a group photo and ensure the area is left tidy.
Recognition: Every participant receives positive feedback on their work, leaving with a genuine sense of creative achievement.

Local culture

Cartagena is a city that breathes colour. While the Walled City is famous for its colonial history, districts like Getsemani have transformed into world-renowned open-air galleries. Our workshops draw inspiration from the local Muralists who have turned once-forgotten walls into stories of Caribbean culture and identity. We don't just teach graffiti; we connect students to the soul of the La Heroica. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that the Getsemani neighbourhood was once a place to avoid, but is now the epicentre of Cartagena’s street art scene thanks to local community projects? It’s a perfect example of how art can revitalise an entire community!

Pricing

We believe every school and youth group is unique, so our pricing is flexible to match. Generally, you can expect the following rates:

Price range: $100,000 - $250,000 COP per participant.

Prices vary based on the number of students, the location choice, and whether the group is working on a collective mural or individual take-home canvases. The best part? No upfront payment is required – you only pay after the workshop is complete!
