Do I need to have any prior drawing or painting skills?

Absolutely not! Our anti-vandalism program in Cartagena is designed specifically for beginners. Our professional artists will guide you through everything from how to hold the spray can correctly to mastering complex shading techniques. You don't need to be 'artistic' to have a great time; we focus on the process, expression, and the joy of creating something unique in a supportive environment.

What kind of materials do you use and is it safe?

We use high-quality spray paints that are designed for professional street art. Because safety and comfort are our top priorities, we provide all participants with protective gear, including gloves and masks. We also recommend wearing 'painting clothes'—items you don't mind getting a little splash of colour on—just in case you get extra enthusiastic with your masterpiece!

Are all the materials included in the price?

Yes, we take care of everything! Your booking includes all the professional spray paint cans in a huge variety of colours, protective gear, and the surfaces we'll be painting on. Whether we are working on a communal wall space or individual canvases, you won't need to bring a single thing except your energy and creativity.

Where exactly in Cartagena do the workshops take place?

While we predominantly host our anti-vandalism workshops at curated street art locations across Cartagena, we can also come to you! If you have a private wall or a specific venue in mind, our mobile team can set up a professional graffiti station anywhere. This is perfect for community centres, schools, or corporate headquarters looking to brighten up their space.

Is the graffiti we create legal or could we get in trouble?

While we love the spontaneous energy of graffiti, our workshops are 100% legal. We use designated 'free walls' or private surfaces where we have explicit permission to paint. A core part of our anti-vandalism mission is teaching the difference between illegal tagging and sanctioned street art, ensuring your creative expression is respected and permanent.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard anti-vandalism workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice time, and the final creation of your large-scale mural. If you have specific time constraints, we can often tailor the session to fit your schedule.

Can Control 101: Our artists demonstrate how to control pressure, distance, and angle to get the perfect line every time.

Local culture

Cartagena is a city defined by its colours, from the bright yellow walls of the Old City to the world-famous murals of Getsemaní. Street art has become the soul of the Calle de la Sierpe, turning once-neglected alleys into open-air galleries. Our program leans into this local pride, teaching participants how to contribute to Cartagena's visual heritage without damaging its UNESCO-protected history.

Fun Fact: Much of the graffiti in Cartagena’s Getsemaní district was actually commissioned to tell the story of the city's independence and cultural struggle, making it one of the most politically significant street art hubs in South America! 🇨🇴

Pricing

Our workshop prices are flexible to ensure every group in Cartagena can participate in the street art revolution. Prices generally range from $100,000 COP to $250,000 COP per person, depending on the scale of the mural and the number of participants.

Because every project is unique—from small community groups to huge corporate social responsibility events—we recommend getting a tailored estimate. ✨
